Pneumonia, a very BAD flu, and an ear infection

The last week has been miserable in our house. Finally I broke down and went to the doctor, at the request of our pharmacist of all people. I thought I was having they symptoms of Paxil withdrawal. I talked to the prescribing doctor who suggested I received a bad batch of Paxil.
.
.
When I called the pharmacist to ask about this possibility he asked me a few more questions and from my answers suggested I actually had an ear infection. So I went to the GP and what do you know?? Big nasty ear infection!! How annoying is that?
.
.
By the way, if you are still getting your prescriptions filled at Walmart, Target or the like, may I suggest you consider River Road Health Mart. Brian is a great pharmacist and his wife is just spectacular at customer service.

So............imagine this. You have a sick kid. You have two choices with your prescription.
.
Scenario A:
Step 1: Drive to large store
Step 2: Circle around looking for the perfect parking spot and then settle on one which is 35 spaces from the coveted handicapped spot.
Step 3: Drag sick child through parking lot into the store.
Step 4: Wait in line behind 2 other people while your sick child spreads his germs to everyone within a 38' radius.
Step 5: Wait 15 to 20 minutes while your prescription gets filled.
Step 6: Leave store tired and frustrated ...... contributing somewhat to the local economy because you did help keep Walmart employees in a job.
.
.
Scenario B:
Step 1: Pull up to the Health Mart window
Step 2: Get greeted by Brian, the pharmacist. He knows your name!!
Step 3: Hand over the prescription
Step 4: Drive home.
Step 5: Answer door a short while later you open the door to Jeannie who is delivering your medication.
Step 6: Feel good, you are relaxed and you contributed to a locally owned company!!

Well, last Tuesday Jordan started feeling ill. On Thursday she threw up and the same on Friday. This was accompanied by a hefty fever and a cough. Today she is STILL coughing.
.
.
Friday Spencer became very lethargic. When he is ill he sleeps. He just sleeps and sleeps and is such a pumpkin. He is also coughing, but when he coughs it sounds like a barking seal.
.
.
After much hesitation I finally took them to the pediatrician this afternoon and the answer was terrible! Jordan has pneumonia. Spencer has a flu bug which is very bad. The pediatrician requested he stay totally isolated. He even suggested Spencer wear a mask. Spencer was not going to listen to that at all!!
.
.
Jordan is on antibiotics. If Spencer is not better on Wednesday we will return to the doctor to have a flu test to determine what kind of flu he has....not good!
