It started three weeks ago with a high fever and sore throat. I took him in for a rapid strep which was positive. 7 days of antibiotics later and his fever was gone, he was back in school, but still not at 100%.
So then he spiked another fever. I called in and spoke with his doctor. We decided to add 3 more days of anti-biotics at a higher dose. I only went forward with this because of the previous positive strep test. What if it were reoccurring?
3 days later, it's Easter and we are all feeling good. John comes down with a faint rash that doesn't look like Scarlet Fever to me. It fades in a day or two. We have his birthday. Everyone seems healthy. Then Thursday night he's coughing so much it wakes me up. When did that start?? I go in to check him and he's hot again. The thermometer confirms it with 101. I give him Advil and keep him home again on Friday.
Today is Saturday and he is at 102. Of course it would be the weekend. We are monitoring him closely and will probably wait until Monday to take him in, IF he hasn't recovered.
Let's hope he recovers. I don't think I'd look good in a wig.
This is frustrating!
