So I to enjoyed conference week-end. I didn't get to listen to conference as much as I would like, since I was taken care of a sick Baby. So if you have read our blog, Jae had hand, foot and mouth. First of all I must say, Sarah I don't think we gave you near the sympathy that you deserved when you had this. It really is the worst thing ever!!! I have never felt so helpless as a mom. Jae was burning with fever and crying in pain, and there was nothing you can do. Next I must say, I will never go to Wal-Mart for a Rx again. Let me tell you why. So Friday after we had been to the Dr. I took my Rx to Wal-Mart. Jae was asleep so he wasn't crying and I thought we would be in and out in no time. First of all, bad service. I stood in front of the girl for like 5 minutes before she even acknowledged that I was there. So I hand her my Rx and she tells me it will be 20 minutes, so of course we have to go look at the toys. We come back and Boston is freaking out because he didn't get a movie or toy. So I ask for Jae's medicine and she tells me that there is a problem and my insurance will not cover it. I say that's fine, I still want it. So she tells me to come back in 20 minutes. So we hang out again. Now Jae is awake and he is burning up ( I have forgot to bring the Tylenol in) he is crying and so I'm trying to comfort him. So I go back to the pharmacy and there is like 20 old people in line. They all have 100 questions and they are just complaining about the cost, their health, everything. I'm starting to loose my patients with Boston, and everyone around me. Finally I'm next and this old lady in one of those scooter carts comes up next to me. He son then comes up and starts to tell her that she needs to hurry or he is going to be late picking up his son. Then he says to her " Do you think that you can go next?" I'm ticked. My baby is screaming, Boston is crying, I'm about in tears and he has the guts to think that I'm going to let them go next. I just ignored them, and then it was my turn. So I ask again for Jae's meds and tell the same lady his name, and birthday again! So finally it is done, she hands it to me, and tells me the pharmacist wants to talk to me. So I move over and hang out at the window for the pharmacist to come talk to me. So she finally comes over and so old man pushes his way in front of me and starts talking to her. I was in tears. She finally asks him to wait while she helps me and he leaves. I was so close just to leaving and calling Judd and asking him what I needed to know. And all she needed to know was how much he weighs. We finally leave and I figure I can give him some Motrin and this numbing stuff and by the time we get him he will want to eat.( He hadn't eaten in like 24 hours, maybe a few ounces). So we get in the car and they didn't give me a dropper. So Jae screams another 15 minutes until we get home. Needless to say, it was the worst day I have had in a long time. We were at Wal-Mart for over an hour.
Anyways, Jae had a crappy week-end, cry ed every time he was awake and could only have his numbing med every 6 hours, so there was alot of crying. So I am so glad that he is feeling better.He is even laughing and playing.
So I'm sorry that I complained this whole blog, but I just had to tell everyone so I fell better.
I hope that you are all well, and healthy and happy. We love you all. Thanks for letting me vent.

ok so i know you don't know me jenny but my son caleb had spinal meningitis when he was 3 months old & i can totally feel your pain. he was exactly like what you are describing, screaming his little heart out when the meds wore off. & he was too little to get motrin, which was even worse! there's nothing more stressful than a really sick kid, i'm so glad for your sake that he's feeling better. as for the pharmacy, you are a patient woman! i would have taken that scooter cart, popped it in neutral (if there is such a thing) & sent that lady & her son for a ride!
Jenny, I just want you to know how much I love you! I laughed when I read my entry about conference weekend after I read yours. What a contrast. You are such a wonderful mother and wife. I love how much you care for our me and our kids. You're the best!
Now you know why I would never work in a Wal-Mart pharmacy....
