Show me the money

I just got Finn's bill for last month's Synagis (his RSV prevention medication). The MONTHLY charge for Finn's dose of this medication is...$3,308.46! Yet another reason I am so glad we have insurance and that it covers this medication 100%. You have to show you are at "high risk" for RSV for your insurance to cover it and I guess I can't really blame them. If you'll remember, we had a huge fiasco last spring when Finn came home because the discharge nurse "forgot" to order the Synagis and when we realized it a few days later, it was April and insurance companies only cover them through March! Which is why we couldn't just do it anyway and pay for it out of pocket. Crazy.

Jim, Finn and I went to swim class last night. Since the pool was closed on Saturday, we were allowed to go to a make-up class. It was a different teacher and she loved Finn and was very impressed with his comfort level in the water. We worked on blowing bubbles, which he can't really do, but did put his mouth in the water to try (although he really just wanted to "get" the bubbles we were blowing!). We also worked on going under...and Finn does really well! He sputters and sometimes coughs a bit, but doesn't cry. His teacher liked that, too. The class was at 6:30pm, which is pretty late for Finn. He pretty much drank a bottle and conked out when we got home.
