We haven't been back to see the kids' pediatrician in months. I know, I know, I'm a bad mom. I am blessed to have a doctor/surgeon for a neighbor though, (Hi, Rin and Doc!) and he's my go-to person when it comes to small medical issues. Thank you, Lord, for Doc A!
Hmmm... why do some doctors charge an arm and a leg for services anyway? Just last month, with the Measles outbreak scare, I had called another pediatrician's office (reco'd by a friend) to ask if the kids can go get their shots. I was quoted a whopping amount for it! I need to give up a month's worth of groceries just to get my kids' boosters updated! And to think the neighborhood health centers are giving those shots out for free. I need to seriously invest in Health Insurance. Argh! It's so hard when you're the sole provider. You have to give up one thing to have another.
My mom says health is a great investment, and I shouldn't even think twice when spending for it. You only live once, right? My emergency fund has been put to good use last year. I just hope none of the kids get anything serious this year.
Speaking of doctors, here's a doctor I'm sure your kids love! And she's part of this week's giveaway! Why yes, it's DOC MCSTUFFINS! I know, I'm a few days late (I had to search the attic for it), but better late than... well, next week. LOL!

oh no! :( I hope RL gets better soon! All my 3 kids have asthma too which they unfortunately inherited from me. Triple boo! They use COMBIVENT for nebulizing though as Ventolin gives us the shakes. (RL is hiyang ba with ventolin? he doesn't shake violenyly & palpitate after?) I am SO tempted to join ur giveway haha I'm such a kod at heart. That, or I wanna visit your attic & go on a shopping spree! :P have a great weekend kaye!! :-*
ReplyDeleteHe's hiyang naman to Ventolin. He also takes Alnix for allergic rhinitis. Takes after his dad, I think. The giveaway isn't such a hit, no? Oh well, I must giveaway something with Sofia the First or Frozen next time. Hahaha!
DeleteShrimps used to be Matthew's favorite until it triggered his allergies. Its so sad for parents to see our kid become allergic with their favorite food. But its harder to see them suffer from allergies and asthma attacks. Salbutamol nebules are as important & basic meds as paracetamol in my medicine cabinet. Mothers are still the best doctor for their kids :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have both syrup and nebules. Hirap magkasakit!
Deleteoh, it's so sad to see our kids get sick. yun tipong gusto mo na malipat na lang sayo un pain nila. hope your son's ok already!

wifey encourage me to join for our daughter =)
I wouldn't suggest using nebules unless very necessary kasi may side-effect po. I'm asthmatic and a few years back, nanginginig ako after nebulizing. I've had shaky hands ever since. Now I avoid it as much as possible. Hanggat kaya pa, I really don't recommend using it.
