Support when you have to go see the doctor


We took Mike to the doctors again today. Alex was close by him making sure he made it there OK. 

We have our boy back home and it is great to have him here. We missed his terrible. He just always makes things better and more fun. It is great that Mike is feeling better so Alex does not have to see him feeling sick. 

They had a good day together. Mike was so happy to be hanging out with Alex again.

We also got a scare tonight. When I was undressing Alex for bed I notices his stomach was covered around his belly button with about 20 red spots. They look like bug bites or something like that. He also had some on his arm. I was shocked and thought he had Chicken Pox. Well, I was scared because Mike is on all these rejection drugs that depress his immune system. I called the nurse on call to be safe and asked if Mike would be OK if Alex was coming down with the Chicken Pox.

The nurse told me that almost all the patients they care for have antibodies to protect them because they already had Chicken Pox and that Mike would be OK. She said that if it is Chicken Pox just don't let Mike touch him after the spots start to get really bad. Alex was so sad when he saw the bumps because he knows we are protecting Mike from any germs or infections.  I told him it would be alright and that Mike will be OK.  We are so lucky to have these wonderful nurses and doctors we can call when we are worried about things.
