Zack Update

Friday was crazy. Well that may be an understatement. I got to the doctor's office at 11:30 for our 11:40 apt. I went into a room at 11:35. By 12:30 still no doctor...so I dragged the kids out and went up to a nurse to ask her if they forgot about us. She said no and that it was just busy and we were next. At 12:45 I put their jackets on and decided to wait 5 more minutes. When that time was up finally the doctor came in. She checked his breathing and it was fine. I told her about his attack the day before. She said just keep giving him treatments. Then she checked his ears...she said there wasn't an infection at all. This is what upset me the most. An ear infection does not clear up in a day. So at this point one of the two doctors that I had seen in as many days was wrong. (zack clawed at his ears Friday and Saturday. So I think he did have an infection.)

I then asked if we can go ahead and finally get Zack tested. She agreed we should. I told her that I called BCBS, our insurance, the day before and they told me they covered 100% testing. She stepped out and came back in and told me that they will only pay for one test, but Zack needs two. I would have to pay for the second test out of pocket which would be $600 for one test. So she suggested we see a specialist and from there I wouldn't have to pay for the tests. I left there pretty upset with the whole process. I was seconds from crying due to being so angry, but hopefully we can finally get this stuff done and figure out what is wrong.

Zack's appointment is scheduled for March 22nd, which was the first available. I'll update more when I can.
