Murphy's doctor just called with the blood test results. Turns out Murphy has diabetes. Not the end of the world, but I was hoping for something like a virus that some antibiotics would knock out. Actually, I was hoping for nothing, but I'll settle for treatable over hopeless.
The doctor said he's going to need an insulin shot every day, but since he's still fairly young, there's hope that it'll be reversible. In a week or so, I'll get the script for the needles and insulin, and he'll show me how much, where and when to give Murphster his shot, and he should be much happier shortly. I'm so releived! Now to just get over my terrifying fear of needles :-/
