I just took Connor's Temperature after reading on FB that his friend Elizabeth has a 102.3'F temp and a sore throat, and as of now Connor is at 100.2'F.
I just gave him two Tylenol and we hope to keep it steady but of course we also worry about little Elizabeth whose Lungs are much weaker and much more compromised then Connors.
We know that Strep has been making the rounds in School so hoping we stay clear of this!
We had to pick up some more medication for Connor today as well (add $70 to yesterdays $300) and the Pharmacist that was working tonight told us that Walgreen's will be unable to get a hand on the Injection Methrotrexate until sometime in April!!! Can you imagine if Connor was not on the Pills? We would be looking at possibly six to eight weeks of no access to his Chemo Therapy unless we could find another Pharmacy that has the needed supply. Still makes my stomach nauseous ....
So here is my plea to you tonight. You might be able to make an impact and it will cost you NO money and might take less then 5 minutes of your time. Please call or e-mail your State Senator and tell them about your concern about the Drug shortage. PLEASE!
Here is another news report where a 9 year old boy asks his Mom if he will die if he can not receive his Methrotrexate Injections. Now look at your child or Grandchild, Cousin, Nephew or Niece and think what your answer would be...
Think of Connor and how would you feel if he lost his battle and would die due to a drug shortage?

Hugs and wishing you a peaceful and relaxing weekend. I know we are laying low here.
