Good and Bad


First, as you see, The good. He's doing well, sleeping 3-4 hours at night so nights for the most part, we're able to get sleep. He's doing well.
Now the bad news. Sarah has a rash. At first we didn't think it was much....then it spread. Then we took her to the doctors, and gave us a fright. It is either impetigo...which is the semi-good thing or Herpes, which is a bad thing. Impetigo is only semi-good, as if it spreads anymore...she has to go to the hospital and get IV antibiotics......if its Herpes....it could turn into meningitis if Christopher catches it and goes to his brain and kill him.....
Even worse...Sarah's and ONLY Sarah's medical insurance has lapsed due to paperwork snafu....one screaming mommy bear later and yes its their fault...Their recorded phone calls show it. But she still wont be covered till Oct. But they will reimburse for 3 months prior....gee thanks.
Then it gets worse. The pharmacy only 2 of the three meds for Impetigo. They didnt have the Herpes one......and its 1/2 an hour till closing.....so we roll the dice and try and get it the next day after 2pm......
So today....they don't have it. They will have it tomorrow.....no good. Doctor sends the prescription else where and we have it.
Better news is.....it looks like it was Impetigo....it looks clearing up. But cross your fingers....
