Update from this afternoon - morning update is below
First of all - the preschool meeting went well. Nathan liked the preschool and the teachers. They will have no problem with him missing the first 2 weeks of school. There are 13 kids in the class and a teacher and 2 aides.
On the medical front we have had a little development. I srote about his injection site swelling (9 cm by 9cm). His doctor saw that today and was quite concerned. It is clearly an allergic reaction to the shot but being so severe he said it could become systemic and he could stop breathing or some other reaction in another part of his body. Nathan's doctor call his New York doctor and they decided he should be premedicated with a benedryl-like drug and then they should observe him from the time of his shot and two hours afterwards. If it happens again tomorrow (and I am certain it will) he will not have his shots on the weekend. The doctors will discuss it more when we see what happens tomorrow. These reactions have happened before but seem to getmore and more severe as time goes by. I have mentioned it to the team in New York many times but they never have looked at it or have just been very unconcerned about it. I guess it took another doctor forcing the issue for it to get some notice.
The two doctors will also talk about the whole renal scan business and if we should do anything about it in New York or just wait. So - we will see what they decide.
