The past couple of days have not been very good to a certain little 3 1/2 year old in our house. Christopher came down with a fever on Sunday afternoon and we didn't know why. We gave him some Motrin to bring the fever down which made his little tummy upset. Jennifer took him to the doctor yesterday morning and found out that he had a double ear infection, which had not totally cleared up with since last month when he had a double ear infection. So we got him some Tylenol and an antibiotic and he pretty much slept all day yesterday. This morning he got up and seemed to be feeling better. Ear infections are terrible.
Now, here is the "good" part, wait for it.......
We originally took Christopher to the Doctor because a little girl is his class had strep, so we thought maybe he had it when he came down with a fever last month. The doctor did a swab and found no strep, but would send it off to the lab just in case and call us if it came back positive. We hadn't heard from the doctor so we "assumed" that everything was OK..... not so much. We found out yesterday when we took him to the doctor that he did indeed have strep and no one told us. Someone in that Doctors office really dropped the ball and made us quite upset, especially my beautiful wife, because Christopher is definitely Mommy's boy.
The moral is to make sure that you follow up with the doctors on everything when it comes to our children's health. Thank God that it wasn't something worse that they didn't tell us about.
