Poor Blake had a rough couple weeks with illness. Two weeks ago he had been getting sick during the night but was fine during the day. I dismissed it as a weird viruses since he never had a high fever and was fine during the day. Then on Sunday he told me his throat hurt. Then I knew, we were in trouble. So I got him in the doctor right away on Monday and confirmed he had strep throat. We started him on antibiotic and by Tuesday he was doing great. Bradley and I left for Quebec Thursday with the kids in the careful care of their grandparents. On Saturday while in Quebec, I got a call that Blake had a 105 fever, the highest it had been all day and with motrin in his system. So I called our Doc who requested Blake go to the ER to see what was up. F & V took him and after a 4.5 hour wait finally got a diagnosis that the strep was not responding and to switch antibiotics. On Sunday when I got home he still wasn't better. Monday we headed back to the doctor and decided he needed the dreaded shot. Finally he got some relief! Within a couple hours Blake was back to normal! Yeah!
Then on Thursday night Blake had an accident with the counter in his bathroom. He was throwing a tantrum jumping up and down and hit the corner of his eye on the counter. He cut it just enough that I thought we better get it checked out. So back to the ER we went, Blake's second trip in 5 days! Lucky for us, we only had a 10 minute stay this time with the doc deciding he did not need stitches or glue that it would heal on its own. A nasty black eye has resulted but it too will pass.
Hopefully the saying "things happen in threes" will not happen to us this time around!
