A Need for Dye Free Medications
Thank you McNeil Corp. You screwed me. I love you for that. Can you feel the love in the form of my cursing your existence and Motrin recall? Your junior strength Motrin in the orange flavor is the ONLY chewable tablet OTC pain reliever I've found for my son that does NOT contain red dye. Even the generics use red+yellow dye to make orange. Now due to your massive recall, we're Motrinless.
Sure you have your dye free liquid, but two things. One, have you seen how thick that liquid is? It makes me gag just looking at it. And second, ...
Military Needs to Make Up Its Mind
Once again I'm left baffled. I just read an article where because of war spending, we military families may lose post services and programs. But I thought we had the Army Family Covenant. I thought the DOD was doing MORE to support or military families, not less. I guess once again, that's all lip service.

-The dental coverage really isn't bad.
-Tricare, our health care system, is good IF you ONLY need routine care.

Army Life – Tricare and ASUs
I've already been stressing about Zach's therapies for his Asperger's. It seems we can use the Tricare (military insurance for newbies) plan we're on now, and use ONLY network doctors (ie. lowest contract bidders because that's how they do government contracts), and still pay a copay every month. OR, we can move Zach to a different plan that will allow us to use pretty much any doctors we choose, but we'll be paying up to $1,000 of allowable costs per year. Add to that Zach will need a new pediatrician and I would have to take him to the allergist's ...
