I am hoping that 2009 is a healthier year for our family. I have been adding some things up for our 2008 tax return and here is what i have come up with:
20 trips to Le Mars for Dylan O.T.
14 Trips to Sioux Falls for various doctor appointments for Jackson and Dylan
5 trips to the E.R.-All Jackson
1 Hospital stay for 3 days....again, Jackson.
10 Trips to the doctor in Hull for Jackson.
Several misc trips to doctor, dentist, eye doctor involving the entire family
Total miles this year for medical=3786.00
No wonder it seems like i am never at work...because i am not!!
So far things seem to be improving for Jackson. Still no official diagnosis for what he has. Most likely its Asthma and Reflux. The common cold usually knocks him on his little butt and he get pneumonia. Well we have changed a few medications and since Dec. he has really been fairly healthy (knocking on wood!!) Now he did get a cold a few days ago, but so far seems to be ok (again knocking on wood!) We shall see if he gets over this and needs to be taken to the doctor to have his lungs checked. His next appointment is mid February in Sioux Falls. They will be doing x-rays to check on his lungs at that time and then seeing if his medication needs to be changed.
Despite it all he remains a happy and opinionated red head:)

I feel your pain girl! I hate having to drive for good medical care. I was going to tell you that any cold that Gabriel gets knocks him down now with his asthma. He immediately starts coughing bad, etc.
