Crapola....
Yeah... so, here we are, in the middle of Hell Week (this is a steroid
week for Nate, and he's exhibited some 'roid rage) and we get a call
from a school mate's mom saying that Nate was exposed to chicken pox
this weekend. Such an ordinary childhood illness. And yet very seriuos
for leukemic kids.
So, after talking to Nate's nurse practitioner, she says to come in
right away and they'll administer VZIG injections into each thigh.
This is an immune booster for varicella zoster (aka Chiken Pox virus).
Then she calls back and says she talked to the pharmacy and they don't
have any at Stanford. It takes 24 hours to get it (something about
the pharmacy not stocking it anymore). And so, instead, we should
just do nothing and keep an eye on Nate. I'm not happy with that
answer. If they had it, they would give it to him. So, maybe we
should be trying to get it from somewhere else? I'm now waiting for a
call back to discuss this more...
