Justin

Poor Justin has strep again...or still as he was only off anitbiotic for 2 days before it flared up again. But they don't take out tonsils until you have it 6 times in 1 year.

Every time he gets strep he gets more sick. The first time he barely complained about his throat hurting. Now he sleeps all day, vomits like crazy, runs a 102 to 103 fever, his body aches, and he cries every time he wakes up that his head and throat hurt! It's awful!

This time he started throwing up at 3 am. Went to the Dr's at 9:50 where on the way he threw up in Circle K when Alex tried to be nice to get him a cold drink to cool his throat, threw up in the Dr's parking lot, and Alex had to pull over 2 times on the way home for him to be sick and as soon as he walked in the house he opened the slider and threw up all over the back porch. He slept all day yesterday. Didn't want any food other then cambells chicken noodle soup broth - no noodles at all! And when he was awake he layed there and cried, wined - and not the poor me give me attention but the I'm hurting kind. Noone could make any noise at all in the room he was in or he would burst into tears because his head hurt! My poor kid!

The Dr asked Alex if he had a blanket in the car for him since he had the chills and was shivering so bad in the office.

My poor boy!

Nic had a run of strep in 3rd grade and he was put on maintenance antibiotics to get him threw the last few months of school. If he didn't get it again after school we would assume there was a carrier in the classroom. He still has never got strep again, so some how he built up a good immunity to it. Poor Justin, I hope he builds up an immunity too!

He was up about 5 times last night before Alex (Thankgoodness because if I didn't get some sleep I would have been crying myself!) took him downstairs and he finally got him settled down enough that they both fell asleep on the couch some time in the night. I am so hoping the medicine has kicked in overnight and he feels much better today! Although I am giving him more that the usual 24 hours off of school. Technically he could go tomorrow, but I sent him right back last time and this time I think we are going to give his body a little more healing time before we send him back.
