Tuesday was Camden's last dose of antibiotic after he was diagnosed with tonsilits (probable strep throat) 10 days prior. Thursday morning he woke up complaining of his throat hurting and had a slight fever so we sent him to school, with plans for Shane to take him to the doctor after I made him an appointment. Shane ended up taking him to Dr. Worrall after lunch and this time he was swabbed and diagnosed with strep throat. So this time he got a different antibiotic with hopes of it taking care of it this time.
Yesterday when I picked Casen up from school he felt warm to me and when he got home I found him to have a temperature of 101.7. He had no other symptoms, just fever. I had a sneaking suspicion that since Camden had strep throat twice that perhaps his little body finally gave into it. So on Saturday morning I called the doctor and took him in. He tested negative for strep, however his throat was red, so the doctor said if it looks like a duck, walks like a ducks, and quacks like a duck, it just might be a duck. So he prescribed Amoxicillin and sent us on our way. The one thing I was happy about is that both boys were now on antibiotics, so hopefully they can make it until the end of school, since this seems to be when we cratered last year!
