I called and talked to the pharmacy after my ped called in a refil (i had to get a prior authorization on it so this started a week ago). I told the pharmacy that at the latest I needed to get it yesterday afternoon. I told my dh to pick it up on the way home from work which was around 6 pm. I didn’t think much about it as he jumped in the shower then left right away for a baseball game. Well my dh calls me about an hour later and says that he forgot to tell me that the pharmacy said the medicine wasn’t ready and it won’t be ready until tomorrow so instead of my dh taking it somewhere else he said that was fine. So even before this happened i had to give Isaac only half doses for 1 day b/c the pharmacy told me that they needed a full day to make the compound. Needless to say Isaac is refluxing and very angry about it! And to think I was just starting to think he was over this whole reflux thing b/c he is walking!
My pharmacy does this all the time. We live in a small town so I guess they don’t get many scripts for Prevacid and they frequently tell us they don’t have any on hand…come back tomorrow. Thank God, so far, I’ve always called in for a refill when I had a day or two left…but even that is cutting it close.
I feel so bad for Isaac. I hope he improves quickly as soon as he’s back on his medication.
