We survived...

the H1N1, strep throat and an ear infection all at the same time. YAY!!! Grant started running a low grade fever, had a horrible cough and stopped eating last Thursday. Jason called Friday morning and got Grant a doctors appointment. They did a flu test and a strep test. The flu test came back negative and the strep came back positive. Over the weekend he seemed to get worse. The medication was obliviously not working. At 1:30 am Monday morning Grant woke me up crying. He was burning up. I took his temperature and he had 104 degrees. I called the on-call doctor at his pediatrician's office and she advised us bring him back in first thing Monday morning. They did another flu test Monday morning and guess what??? It can back positive for H1N1. Plus the doctor looked in his ears and said he had an ear infection. By Monday afternoon his fever broke and I was able to get him to eat a little bit. Everyday since then he has been getting better and better. He eats a little more everyday. He is pretty much back to his self again. Looking back at everything now I truly believe he had H1N1 Friday when we went to the doctor, it just did not show up yet.
