Yesterday I went to see the rare/infectious desease doctor in an attempt to break the code on the mystery fevers (they call it "fever of unknown origin", but what is fun about that?). His name is Dr. Otto, and Michele had to talk me out of greeting him with "Domo arigato Dr. Otto"... apparently she thinks it wouldn't set the right tone for the meeting. To each her own.Unfortunately, more of the same. "Hmm?" "Wierd." Stuff like that. He had some ideas of extremely rare and unlikely and unrelated things that it most likely isn't... but why not test anyway? "Do you have any Mediteranean ancestry... no?... well, we'll do the test anyway."
So, more test, very likely another doctor to see (respiratory specialist), and so the drum beats on. Is anyone interested in illustrating the book I'm writing so that I don't have to explain all of this to more doctors... it should be a page turner!

I hope you feel better soon. It's got to be so frustrating. Ryan has had a lot of pain in the last month with a tooth, filling, root canal issue. It sucks. Feel better, take it easy. Only do things you enjoy and like, that's good medicine.
We hope they figure out something soon. Seriuosly, how many more tests are out there???
