Medications for my baby who has the flu
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:19 pm
Hello! I hope this finds you doing well. I know you probably get a lot of emails and I'm sure nothing about mine makes it more special, however I was always raised that when you need help you ask for it.
My family is going through a rough time right now. I had a horrible pregnancy where I lost 22 lbs in the first 16 weeks and then went into labor at week 27, which resulted in bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy.
We have 4 older kids, a daughter and a son. With me having to be out of work and all the medical bills we have been struggling. My son also broke his arm playing with a dog in March and just last month both kids (older) needed new eye glasses. I about cried there in the office as I paid for them. Even though Christmas is not about giving gifts (which our children know) we want to be able to make it an enjoyable holiday for them.
I had contacted a local church in our area (Paducah) for help and they sent me to the Salvation Army....since we weren't in their county they send me to another local group. When I called the other group I had already missed their cut off dates. I don't know where else to turn.
Saturday my baby ran a temperature and we had to take him to the ER. He has the flu (along with my husband). They put all 5 of us on Tami flu. The visit and medications were very expensive; I had to return the gifts I had gotten to pay for it all. We also had follow up appointments today. In the last 8 days we have had almost $500 in medical bills.
I didn't know if you can offer any help. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much.
