The Yuck
So…I don’t have a lot to say really. I’m kind of in a really bad mood, and I don’t want to dump that on the universe by kvetching too much.
Jack—ugh. This child! I took him back to the doctor today since he was super snotty, running a fever, and gaggy. Turns out he has drug resistant strep…which makes me really nervous.
Seriously? He’s 3. He has pretty much lived the past 3 years on antibiotics. Drug resistant. What does this mean for the rest of his life? How is this going to impact him?
My biggest fear is losing this little life that we have fought so hard to keep alive.
Extra prayers maybe?
On the other hand, the doctor FINALLY wrote us a prescription for the overnight pulse ox. That is great!
where the heck did I hide my jelly beans?

Drug resistant? What does that mean? I've never heard of that.
Poor little Jack. And poor you! As if you didn't already have enough to worry about.
Of course I will pray for you and your family. Give your little man an extra hug for me, and then have him give you one from me too.

These low points suck, but remember that you are Jack's biggest advocate. When my son was on chemo for two years of his early life, music pulled me through some of these moments. Two recent songs that will remind you of the big picture–Jennifer Hudson singing Let It Be for the Haiti relief, and Amy Grant singing Somewhere Down the Road live during the Columbine tragedy. Hit youtube…seriously.
Otherwise, I really like your honest and poignant posts.
