Because books.

Stephanie, if the rash is only on his butt and he has a fever and a runny nose, I don't think it's chicken pox. I would take him in to the doctor.

I've probably mentioned this before, ita !, but can your neurologist send your prescription to an oncology infusion center? I know there are people in the one I go to who don't have cancer, but are having something like bisposphonate or iron infusions. Also, they're very familiar with pain medication, and they just follow the prescription, instead of sitting around discussing whether someone should get Adriamycin. You'd have to go during the week, but the crap you're going through is keeping you from work anyway.

I hope the social worker can make things work properly, ita. What a screwed up situation.

Yeah, I'm taking him tomorrow regardless. I just...want to know, but it doesn't change anything. He does have some small spots on his chest but they aren't pox at the moment.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Stephanie, that's not fun for you or Sammy.

And ita, I am filled with rage on you behalf. I wish we could find a way to channel all this buffista rage productively towards some solution.

If it's chicken pox, all you can do is treat the symptoms and make him as comfortable as possible anyway, but this way you'll know tomorrow if it's something else.
