Venting!!!

Today was a bad day in our journey. We found out that the ringworm infection on Samson's scalp has resurfaced. Upon reading the medical report we realized that they had taken him off his medication two weeks early.... of coarse we are only now finding this out 5 weeks after he was taken off the medicine prematurely. I can not tell you how frustrating this is because all you have to do is type in the name of the medicine in google, and all you find are warnings about taking all of a prescription because the fungus appears to be cleared up before it is actually completely cleared up. We are absolutely beside ourselves. I can not tell you how horrible it feels to have your child suffering half a world away while you are so helpless to do anything to make him feel better or oversee his care.

At least we have a guardian angel. One of the other adoptive parents is a doctor and is getting more medicine to send over with our agency........Thank you!!!! All we can do is hope it is administered properly this time. Please pray for our son as even though ringworm sounds like no big deal, it is a much different story when it is on the scalp and it can lead to other infections beyond just the itchy soars and bald spots. At this point all that gives us some peace, is that Sofie is there to comfort him.
