Slightly annoyed!

When my son went to the cf clinic for the first time, he was only about 7lbs, so when they ordered the mask for his nebulizer, it was the "neonate" size, which is for "under 1 month". When I called the pharmacy for a refill of his xopenex, I asked if we can get the one size larger then that. It turns out that our insurance only covers one every 6 months!!! SO, now, because we're really sorta broke, we have to attempt to use the smallest size until this kid is 6 months old when he's already virtually outgrown it!!

Any suggestions? Do you all know if the CF clinic may have extras laying around? I plan on asking them on our next visit, but that isn't for another week or so.

Do you need the fish masks? I have a couple extra new unused ones that I could send to you.</end quote></div>

for some reason, they were able to give me those. I have like 3 of them at this point, and I figured that I would try to put it over the babys face to see how big it was... and it took up his ENTIRE face! LOL but thanks!!
