He is sick. It is not just an "I don't feel good" or low grade fever kind of sick. He has strep. Poor kid has barely eaten anything. Seeing his hand shake while trying to eat a bit of oatmeal last night just broke my heart! And the fact that he didn't even keep down the water he wanted in the middle of the night was just the final straw to get him to the doctor.
I was able to get an appointment right away; and was late for because he was actually still in bed when I called. Dr. H swabbed his throat (which he did not like) and the test came back as a positive very quickly. It could not have been the five minutes that she it would take.
Brandon has actually been doing very well this afternoon/evening. He did actually eat something more than crackers! YAY!! And has been playing today! Not just a heap in the chair buried under a blanket. Now lets just hope that one round of antibiotics will do the trick! (he can be sorta stubborn sometimes, hope it doesn't include fighting infection also)
And on a happier note, Jess is doing just fine. We can all collectively cross our fingers to keep it that way!
