[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry your son is sick, OP. Strep sucks. I’m sure he will be fine, but you must be worried. Is he far away?[/quote]

You’re sweet, thanks. About 2 1/2 hours away by car. His roommates stayed with him. I’m not worried. He’s a 20 year old junior. But we've been texting all night mostly to make sure antibiotic and pain med are added to IV. He was non violently mugged last week, so I’m hovering a bit. [/quote]

Sounds like he’s had a rough week. Does he want to come home for a couple of nights? If so just go get him. That’s not hovering, that’s just love. Of course if he wants to handle it himself that’s totally fine too![/quote]
 
I offered multiple times. He was more worried about me being on the road. It’s a crappy hospital, but affiliated with his school. They’ll contact campus transportation and they’ll bring him back to his apartment. Called ER station and they kept tossing me between adult and pediatric ER since he’s not 21. Said call back in an hour! Facetimed for a minute, but low battery. Tech butchered his arm looking for a vein and excuse was dehydration. [/quote]
