Colby became sick on Friday and I decided to go ahead and take him to the doctor. He had a 101 degree fever and threw up. I had a funny feeling it was going to be the flu, but was hoping it was Strepthroat. He had all of the symptoms of the flu, so when I made his Dr. appointment, they told me that when he arrived he would have to put a mask on. Not only did he have to put a mask on, we were immediately placed in a room. The nurse came in and did the flu test and I told her that his throat hurt too. She decided to do a Strep test, as well. The Dr. came in and assessed Colby and said, 'Yeah, it is probably the flu.' Me....I'm still thinking/hoping it is Stepthroat. The Dr. left and came back 2 minutes later....Yep, it is Strepthroat. Colby was pretty pitiful looking and felt terrible for about 2 days. He finally started feeling better on Sunday and fortunately, he had a 3-day weekend to recover.
Monday we had to go BACK to the Dr. for a review of Tristen's ADHD medicine. He's been on it for 2 months now and they have to review his vitals and heartrate before they will give you a refill. Fortunately, everything was good. He did get to have an EKG done for them to check his heartrate.
So..............I'm hoping for no more trips to the Dr. anytime soon!!!!
