Joshua came down with his first case of strep about two weeks ago. He took his medicine like he was supposed to, and his fever broke w/in 24 hours after his first spoonful. It appeared all was well. In the meantime, Luke spiked a 104 fever. Long and short - he went to the doctor a few times, and on his third visit, which was Friday, they did blood work to rule out anything more serious. Good news, all is well. As we were waiting for his results, my phone rang. I checked the caller ID, and low and behold - it's Joshua's elementary school - he was in the nurse's office w/ a sore throat. So, after we dropped Luke's prescriptions off, we headed to get Joshua only to go back to the doctor's office. Joshua was running a 103 fever. Sure enough, he has strep again, or maybe it just never went away. He's on another antibiotic and hopefully this time, he'll kick it. I'm suspect though that on top of the strep he may have what Luke had. My poor little Milman boys. They had a rough go of it, but the good news is that they are both on the mend.
Friday afternoon - Luke and Joshua were both running high fevers and pathetic!
Sunday afternoon - all is well in the Milman household - yay!
