This morning I received an email from a friend. She told me that I am a “Warrior and a Worrier”. Yep. She’s right on both counts:). I am not bragging on either point. Being a worrier is NOT a good trait of mine and this has always been a battle. Do I battle it by being a warrior? Yep. Does Tanner say “yep” because I do? Yep.<\/p>\n
I have this “passion” gene in me which I inherited from my father and when their are battles worth fighting (and I admit, occasionally battles that are not worth fighting) I cannot stop myself from the compulsion to put on my gear and head out into the sunset. I am the kind of person who thinks she can hold fear at bay if she storms it head on:). Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn’t. This morning I told myself that the next time I feel compelled to go to battle with customer service people that I need to picture my Aunt Karen in my mind. She is the kindest most gentle and compassionate person on the planet. I am not kidding and ANYONE who knows her would back that statement up. It would be nearly impossible to deliver my speeches to her because I wouldn’t hurt her feelings for the world. I would be just as strong in what I said but I would deliver my message with more gentleness. I am sure I will get practice with this idea as there will certainely be a next time! Can I do it?<\/p>\n
I called the pharmacist a second time today at 10:30 AM. She told me that the drug WAS shipped yesterday and she has the tracking number. She also told me that Chloe said she left me a voicemail message on my cell phone. She repeated the address and phone numbers back to me and all were correct. There has not been an incoming call on my cell phone since the 29th and no message was left. Big surprise.<\/p>\n
So now I am off to call the nursing company and I am hoping they will schedule Ty for tomorrow ASSUMING we actually do get the drug today. I am hoping for the best but I will believe it when I see it. I didn’t believe that my ranting yesterday was doing a bit of good but apparently it did. The drug was shipped. I am not advocating that turning into a hot head is the appropriate method for handling these situations but I am advocating for mommies to demand that people do the right thing when kids are on the line. Maybe if more people told companies “Nope. You will be looking for a creative solution to this problem you initiated”…more companies would be compelled to empower their employees into seeking real solutions.<\/p>\n
By the way, I know that as I write this most every other mother is cheering me on in this because we have all been there in one form or another and there is just nothing more frustrating. And thank you to Brooke and Carrie for the extra support today:) LOL! <\/p>\n
(Note to Brooke: I can’t have it delivered to the Peds office because the Ped doesn’t want Ty in the office unless he has to be during RSV season…good thought though).<\/p>\n
P.S.S. I thought better of it and called and got the tracking number. The synergis is in Phoenix on a truck to be delivered according to the Fed X website. That is a good sign. Good thing too because the nursing company did not want to schedule administration until it was in my hands AND our usual nurse is on vacation this weekend. Figures. People are laughing at me for my paranoid behavior but I told the nursing company “Ty must get this shot by Sunday and I am sorry that this situation has backed you in a corner for scheduling. Can I have an on call weekend number just in case you don’t call me back tomorrow and I can’t get a hold of you again? I am taking no risks at this point.” She laughed and gave it to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
