I feel pressure covering my head and shoulders like a wet blanket--hot suffocating pressure. The thermometer reads 103.5
My child is boiling from the inside-out. I feel my heart race, more than it should at 1:30am. We drive lightspeed to the ER, wait patiently while the gun and knife club that is Saturday night in any ER makes its rounds. I feel desperate, like a mother bear holding her limp, fever-soaked cub. We wait.
I feel like screaming, but no one comes for us. My son moans. We wait five minutes more, then I disappear. My fur bristles and I begin to ROAR!
