I'm a bit worried.

[saraandmichael]

I might be neurotic or over protective or something but I just put a call in to E's hematologist.

Evan has strep throat is pretty swollen on the left side of his face and will wake up intermittently crying out in pain. I keep asking where it hurt and he says his tooth (he is also working on a new molar).

Well, I started feeling concerned when I would touch his cheek and the neck around his glands and he'd wince and scream in pain. I know throat bleeds are a huge concern re: staying alive, so I wanted to look at signs of bleeds there. And apparently throat bleeds are common in hemophiliacs with strep throat.

So I am feeling scared and worried.

And the dr just called and told me to give factor and then take him straight to the ER.

fuck.

Take him in but it will be okay. Big hugs.

Trust yourself and don't negate your momma bear instincts. You're an amazing mom and a fierce advocate.

[Teachermama]

Hope E feels better! You are a great mom and know if your kids need something. Don't let feeling bad deter you. Take E, if your intuition is right then there is help if not then there is nothing wrong. Win win

Sending good vibes here.

From what I've read on here, you're amazingly strong in dealing with this - I would be a useless puddle of nerves :-). You should be proud of how much of a fighter you are for him - that is one lucky little kid.
