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.

Rise and shine its breakfast time. This morning will be steak and eggs with hash browns, sorry no bacon or sausage someone else will have to bring that to the table. bagels lox and cream cheese and onions, croissants, jams and jellies and strong coffee and tea, sodas, Diet and regular. OK gotta get ready for my 8 am class damn they start early in that school

Good morning everyone

Well the son is enjoying breakfast in bed...no school for him because of the fever (and the school is doing their last 3 days of 2-1/2 hours a day...academics and tests are over...so no biggie). We are crossing fingers for good news today, but he does have them stumped.

You're right Lips...lyme disease is the big worry and, although his rash is atypical, it's a possibility. They took blood and sent it out, so we should know soon. The good news is that if it's treated quickly and completely with antibiotics it usually responds well...so I'm hanging onto that. We are in an absolutely tick-infested area...and I read online last night that half of the ticks tested in upstate NY are lyme-positive. Lovely. Another good reason to get moving to Florida! Well...that...and the beach

... and the

Thanks for getting breakfast for us Lips...lovely as usual

Zimmy... that's such good news about your classes being transferable! That will save alot of time and work and you can get your degree that much sooner. Awesome!

58 hours baby....

I'm off to refill the coffee and do a little work...check on the kiddo...but I'll be back. Have a great day everyone!

G-D Jo I hope everything turns out alright but with antibiotics you can reverse the symptoms. Yeah the fever is a killer I had that for a long time until they diagnosed me which was a couple of years later by that time it spread to my brain. Have bipolar disorder from it. Yeah got the breakfast this morning all the goodies on the table. Well took one more exam got an A on that one too. Medical coding and billing,this afternoon is pharmacology which I love!! Ok so the date is postponed for a couple of weeks due to a business trip. And the internship wants me to work on a Saturday which is a no go because I'm Jewish and we don't work that day its the Sabbath so I emailed the associate of career services and told them about that. Let's see what happens!! I'm off to have some needed nourishment and lunch then its back for the afternoon well not all afternoon. see ya later!!

Hello Kitchen dwellers, well its a hot and sunny day just like I like have the a/c on and all is well. got a good grade on my pharm final don't know the final grade but I'm sure its gonna be alright. Can't wait until September then I move out of fucking NJ for sure. Too congested and too cold in the winter time and too much snow. Tomorrow is assisting with minor surgeries and phlebotomy final which should be easy. Gonna have to study tomorrow morning I'm beat for the day been up since like 5:30 AM to walk dogs. well don't know whats for supper maybe someone could whip up something nourishing and good. That would be nice!! Have to go and walk dogs for a while be back later to see what goodies have been left and how everyone's day has went leaving coffee and tea for those that need it.
