Rowdie Update

Turns out Rowdie has a liver infection. Yesterday the vet kept her for a couple hours, re hydrated her and did some blood work. $320, some pills and stinky cans of dog food later, she was able to come home.

Speaking of medical bills, I got yet another bill from Methodist yesterday for the delivery. I don't understand why they just can't send one bill? I pay it and then another one comes a month later. Like they didn't know about those charges the month before??? I got online to try and figure out what these new charges were for when I thought it might be interesting to see just how much having a baby costs...well in medical bills anyway. Including the doctor's fee of $2900 (which I think is pretty good for the 15 minutes she was there), the $2400 epidural (which failed miserably...3 times) and the charges for Kenna's stay, the grand total was $14,317. Thank God for insurance, right???

I need to go wake up Miss Kenna. Ryan is hunting today so I let her take a nap later than usual so she would still be up when he gets home. I'm hoping this idea doesn't backfire on me and screw up her schedule.
