Tuesday the girls went back to the doctor.  Addy had a follow-up & Alyssa still has a nasty cough.  They are always so good when we go to the doctor or anywhere else.  I think I'm kinda lucky?  Addy is doing very good.  No leftover signs of ear infection!  YAY!  Alyssa's congestion just isn't breaking up with the breathing treatments, so the doctor prescribed an oral steroid to go along with the breathing treatments.  Hopefully, the steroid will knock this mess on out of her little chest.  It breaks my heart when she coughs & can't get that crap out like we can.  She looks at me like 'do something mom'.

In just a few short months these 

little feet will be walking everywhere!

I dropped Buddy off to get his teeth cleaned yesterday.  He's a 'senior' now, so his cleaning bill is more expensive.  Imagine that!  When I went back to pick him up the handler brought him out with the rope leash, not his collar & leash.  She said that when they tried to put his collar on he snapped at them!  Uh oh! Must have been the anesthesia...  I was able to put it on him without a problem.  Once we got home I put him in the back of the house & blocked him off away from the babies - just in case he was still aggressive & out of it from the sedation/drugs.  After an hour or so I let him out & gave him a bath.  He's doing great.  Teeth are beautiful :)

I totally forgot to post about our pharmacy (it's a chain store & isn't CVS) giving Alyssa the wrong medication.  They gave her C-Phen instead of C-Phen DM.  It wasn't a serious, life-threatening mistake, but I'm so glad I pay attention & caught the error before giving it to her.  Usually I take a picture of the prescription before getting it filled (cause I'm weird like that), but this ONE time I didn't do it!  I called the pharmacy & asked them to pull the script & verify the medication.  It took a few minutes, but they confirmed it was the WRONG C-Phen.  They didn't have the DM in stock, so the tech picked it up from another store for us & we made the swap the next day.  I know mistakes happen & I could go on & on about this incident, but I won't.  This is the one & only free pass this pharmacy will get for the year.
