Day 630

Ava has had a low temp most of the week and got her shots yesterday for DTP, Hepatitus A and flu. She hasn't had any extra secretions but has been very gaggy. We thought she might be having lung troubles or was sick but we just found out today that her prescription from Rite Aid was wrong. We found out that only 15 days of the 30 day supply of Prevacid we receive is actually good. So our poor honey has been having really bad acid reflux. She has been gagging, her O2 saturations have been all over the place and no wonders why we have been having troubles with her tummy every month - 15 days of every month she has been home (6 months) her Prevacid hasn't been any good. To make matters worse, the only reason we found out was because they had incorrectly filled the prescription to half of what the dose was going to be on the label. They wouldn't believe myself or the nurse that it was filled incorrectly. I went in and after showing him, I asked why the medicine had written on the bottle "do not refrigerate". He looked it up and said it definitely needed to be refrigerated. After looking more into the med, he called and stated the med was only good for 15 days and we had been getting a 30 day dose. Ava has been in so much pain every month and now she hasn't had a good dose of Prevacid in 19 days.

Hopefully with getting the med correct now, we will have much better months and not taking days of speaking to doctors to figure out the problem.

Thanking God for answers and praying for help and healing...
