wah. r is really sick and has been on and off for the last couple of weeks. i took him to urgent care this morning and the doctor said he has a virus of some sort. he did a blood/urine test for all sorts of scary things, including west nile virus. we won't hear anything for a little while. meanwhile he has to submit a stool sample and get in to see an internalist before we leave for our trip. keep him in your thoughts please.
