What's Up, Doc?

At the beginning of the year Mark and I decided to set up a health savings account to help pay for our new arrival this year. Turns out it's a really good thing we did, I'm just not sure we'll have much left when she gets here. We've really been logging the hours in waiting rooms and forking over the co-pays the last few months.

Jan. 15: The Boy visit to Kids Care with broken leg
Jan. 16: Return visit to Kids Care with broken leg
Jan. 17: Neesha prenatal checkup
Jan. 17: The Boy visit to specialist for broken leg
Feb. 14: Neesha prenatal checkup
Feb. 16: The Boy follow up X-Ray and splint removal
Feb. 18: Neesha ultrasound
Feb. 26: The Queen visit to Kids Care with a high fever
Feb. 28: The Queen visit to pediatrician because fever STILL hasn't gone down (ear infection)
Mar. 14: Neesha prenatal checkup
Mar. 16: The Boy 5-yr. checkup
Mar. 23: The Boy return to specialist because he is STILL limping

This brings us up to date with Mar. 30 and an evaluation with a physical therapist for The Boy's limp (his leg is apparently healed and he has no pain).

Now we just have physical therapy sessions TWICE a week for FOUR weeks to see if we can't get The Boy walking normally.

Glad we set up that health savings account!

You were inspired to set it up - you just didn't realize why...
I hope the PT helps!

Oh Neesha, this sounds so familiar! Medical bills can add up fast! I hope your doctor's office streak ends soon.
