"Mystery" Illness

Looks worse that it really was, but I convinced Nolan that he was in disguise:)

Nolan doesn't get sick very often at all, so when he came down with a high fever Tuesday morning, I knew something was up.  He was fine when he had Tylenol, being his usual self.  But, when the fever spiked, this kid was ill.  Repeat Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday.  I began to get a little concerned, and after a call to the ER for advice, I made him a dr. appt Friday.  

To top it all off, we made a change in our medical providers too, so it was a first for seeing a new doctor.  Nolan was a little apprehensive, as was I.  After seeking advice and recommendations from others, we chose a new doctor, and we are happy with the changes.  Nolan was a brave little boy and tested for Strep and Influenza.  Thank goodness, it came back with a positive for strep and nothing more.  His strep symptoms and Eryn's are SO much different, and it's funny that Eryn didn't get it too.

 After antibiotics, Nolan is back to himself, and this momma is happy about that!!  Now he can enjoy the rest of the weekend and Monday off from school!
