OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Okay, so we finally found a pharmacy who could get Autumn's medication in the next day. So, they put her on a medicine called Tobramycin for the infection that grew on the culture. She was on this same medication a year ago while in the hospital for an infection she got right after getting her trach. Anyways, guess how much a 10 day supply of the medicine costs??? Are you sitting down? $4,089.12--Yes, you read that correctly. How do they think anyone could afford a medicine that costs that much? Thank the Lord we have Medicaid or we would not be able to give Autumn the medication. That costs MORE than the car we just bought. So, we got it for NOTHING! I am still floored at the cost of healthcare in this country...insane!

Yeah tobi is super expensive. None of our pharmacies carry it on the shelf, you always have to order. Thankfully I have a stash in the fridge now incase we need it.
Just a warning, you may find that Autumn's lungs dry out on it. You can do saline nebs up to every 3hrs as needed.
