thomas switched jobs about a month ago. our health insurance doesn't kick in for another two months. ainsley needs her four month shots, actually she needed them about two or three weeks ago. last night, thomas looked over at ainsley and noticed that she had green goop in her eye. lovely. today her eye looks better, but she is acting like she doesn't feel well. she is a bit congested now, too. so, i spent three hours on the phone and internet this morning trying to find out if i could take her to the health department here for shots and to see a doctor. never could get a straight answer on anything from anyone. so, i finally just scheduled an appointment with a private practice pediatrician here to check her eye and do her shots. It's only going to cost $175 to $200...EEK! But at least I know that the doctor is a good doctor and actually knows what she is talking about. And I have a set appointment time rather than just show up sometime and we will see if we can fit you in. Public healthcare is a nightmare here. no one seems to know the answers to anything. i was really hoping that we could get through the next couple of months without any illnesses. and the first time we have cold weather, my baby gets sick! she needed her shots anyway... okay, i'll stop rambling now. i'm just really frustrated!

How frustrating! Thomas needs to go to work for Blue Cross, my insurance kicked in the first day! I'm sure Doug can pull a few strings! ha-ha!
Man that really sucks, we pay an outrageous amount for our insurance but can't afford to be without it. That is awful they have you wait 3 months, not right!
