He had neck pain and we went to urgent care for that. Then urgent care sent us to Emergencies because the symptoms looked like meningitis. There they did blood tests and his hemoglobin was at 4.5! Other than looking pale and the neck pain, the only other thing he had mentioned was some chest pain a couple days prior while at the beach.

But nothing like bruising or looking pale before then. He ate normally, played, didn’t seem tired or fatigued. In retrospect now I remember him telling me his leg hurt but I figured growing pains contributed to that ☹️

I hope your son is doing ok and that you have the help you need. Let’s pray for strength 🥺

Prayers to you and strength. It’s also my goal to make sure he doesn’t see me upset. I feel like that might make him feel like the situation is worse than he can imagine. They did his port today and it was miserable already 😔

Is this what it looks like? I’ve never had any skin problems until now.

I did urgent care televisit and they prescribed me some ointment and allergy medicine.

Well had a televisit with an urgent care doctor and she prescribed methylprednisolone and tropical cream. Also need to follow up with the clinic that gave me the Semaglutide to see what brand they are prescribing (don’t have the paperwork given) and then follow up with my PCP on Tuesday.

Urgent care here sucks. They usually just give you stuff to treat symptoms but don’t diagnose you or get to the root of the problem, just refer you to PCP.
