Just Draw Blood!

So we are on vacation, OK, we are in Ohio visiting family- not really a vacation. Number one crappy thing on vacation is to have a sick child. Yes, my sweet Hunter has been on deaths doorstep for almost a week. After the camping trip on Wed. he started feeling sick. He has had a fever of 102 daily with spikes at high at 103.5. Of course being the hypochondriac that I am, I am thinking lime disease or West Nile (lots of mosquito bites even with Jen's constant spraying of repellent). I take him to the Urgent care clinic and they say he is too sick and needs to go to the ER. So I am crying in the car, so is he, and praying out loud that he will live through the long drive to the ER. Praise the Lord, Hunter is a new kid once we hit the ER. However, I know he is sick so we proceed. The nurse practitioner does the x-ray, strep test, ears and all that jazz, nothing is wrong! I ask her to please draw blood, she says, "we don't' draw blood on children over 3", WHAT? Seriously? So we leave there with instructions to come back in two days if he isn't better. So he fevers for two more days, crying, headaches, diarrhea, no eating, sleeping none stop- the whole shebang. I take him to the Urgent care Monday morning, fever 102, no medicine this time, it just makes him better long enough for them to think I am over reacting. The doctor can't find anything wrong but once again I ask for a blood test and he says, "we don't usually draw blood on children". So two stupid doctors prefer to send home my 5 day fevering child with no conclusions but refuse to draw blood- what the! I had him get another blessing last night and his fever broke today. He however now has a head cold and has slept about 10 hours today. My hope is that it is viral and it will end soon, we do have a wedding this weekend. Thanks for listening to my rant, but seriously who would it have hurt (besides Hunter's arm) to draw some blood?
