Ouch

So it has been pointed out to me by several dear friends that I am

not keeping up on my blog.  I know.  Sigh.

It's been a rough week.  I've been sick-

then Kean started throwing up for a few days (to go with

his cough and goopy nose).

And now, for the past six days we've been dealing with

an ugly, itchy rash on his face, neck, scalp and behind his ears.

 We are used to rashes with this boy.

One of his old Chemo meds used to cause him

to break out every month.

 But this one is different-- and he's not on those drugs anymore.

 I talked to his Oncologist this past weekend when he was

throwing up but he didn't have us go to the E.R. (phew).

We had an appointment with his Endocrinologist

on Monday but get this, Kean's bus was fifteen minutes late

bringing him home from school and we were therefore

ten minutes late to the doctors office.

They told us we were too late and had to reschedule.

So there went my opportunity to have another doctor

look at his rash.

 Since it isn't getting any better, I took him 

into the Pediatrician's office this afternoon.

Sigh.  They don't know what it is--

either a virus or a reaction to an antibiotic he

was on weeks ago (rare, but happens)

or one one of the remaining drugs he's still

on but has been taking for the past three plus years.

Go figure.  Your guess is as good as mine.

Let's just hope whatever it is, he gets over it fast.

I'm so ready for this kiddo to get a break.
