They took blood, urine and a throat culture...and will be talking to the folks at the medical school tomorrow. At the moment they're thinking it's a viral infection and his (always very sensitive and reactive) skin is flaring up...the joys of redheads with ultra fair skin. They want to be careful and check for lyme disease and anything rhuemitoid (and hmmm...that's not spelled right but I'm too pooped to check).

Long evening...time to relax with a bailey's coffee...extra whipped cream.

70 hours baby

Jo Lyme's disease is nothing to sneeze at!! I had it for almost 10 years and was really sick. they should do a PCR test for Lyme's disease and send it to OLd Lyme, Ct that's where they get the best results!! good luck and I hope your son doesn't have it. Otherwise they should start him on antibiotic right away for three weeks orally. Anything Rhuematoid is another thing and a separate issue. Well with that said Good Morning all! Setting out strong coffee and tea, have to go and walk dogs they are crying to go outside. see ya later.
