Moving On

Just an update on our situation with Liberty receiving the wrong strength of methyl-B12 shots. The pharmacist made the shots incorrectly because it was "too hard." Dr. Bock's nurse had no way of knowing they were wrong. I should have called up to the office and read the prescription to the nurse when we picked up the shots, but I had no reason to believe they were the wrong thing.

We are glad to have found out this problem and have moved on. We received our shots from Hopewell Pharmacy the other day and will be getting everything from them, including the antifungal which we have started again at a much lower dose. Hopewell sends out our stuff so fast, it's amazing, and you can reorder stuff on line. I am really pleased with them.

I have an appointment with Dr. Bock next week, and, as far as I am concerned, we are just moving forward.

Liberty is doing great so far on the reduced dose of antifungal. For some reason, his appetite increased and he ate four new foods this week. That is nothing short of phenomenal.

After a rocky start, I am looking forward to seeing how my son does on the proper methylB-12 shots. My husband and I remembered that, when Lib received his first shot of the proper dose of MB12 in Dr. Bock's office in NY this summer, he immediately started vocalizing more.

In the end, I think that the lesson is, go to a reputable pharmacy and, as far as the MB12 shots are concerned, they have to be made properly and often small compounding pharmacies just cannot do it. Cut your losses and go to the big, reputable guys, namely Hopewell Pharmacy, Lee Silsby, and the other one that Dr. Bock's office recommends, Fallon's.

'Nuff said.
