UGH!!!

Perscription are a pain!!! For those of you who do not know our family very well our oldest son has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Now he is a great kid with a big heart but without his medication watch out!

Well as those who read this blog know My oldest son and daughter are on vacation with their grandmother and were going to be home the first time on July 4th, the second time was going to be on July 11th. Now had this happened there would have been no problems because Mike would have had his last pill on Saturday when they woke up and I had the prescription filled today so he would have it on Sunday.

Well now the plan is for them to be home on Wednesday, so I had to figure out a way to get Mike his medication because 18 to 20 hours in a car with a child with ADHD would not be good, and my mother would have been crazy by the time they got home...IF Mike made it back..lol

The first thing I tried was to get the prescription filled at a Wal-Mart close to them, but this did not work because the prescription is considered a class 2 narcotic. This means that it would be illegal for them to do this because the actual prescription has to be turned in to the pharmacy before they can fill it. That's right, this means the doctor can not call it in or fax it.

This left on solution, ship them. As we all know the "snail Mail" system has its faults. So off to Pack Mail we go to over night the package because we can not risk the medicine being there on time. Well to over night the package it cost $53. Now add to that the co-pay of $40. This months prescription cost me a whopping $94.

So needless to say I am frustrated with the situation. But, on the lighter side, my children will be home in a few days!
