It was a really long weekend! Brenden wasn't feeling great on Wednesday night so I took him onto the walk in clinic to make sure his sore throat wasn't strep, because if he was sick and had something contagious we couldn't go to the farm. Well the rapid strep test came back negative, but after visiting with the doctor awhile we decided to put him on an antibiotic anyway. I keep him home from school on Thursday and Friday morning when we got up to go to the farm he looked like he was feeling fine. Brenden didn't say anything or eat anything the whole way to there. As the afternoon went on he started to feel worse and worse by 6:00 he was really bad so I decided to take him to the ER. They ran a new strep test and took a CBC. They diagnosed him with tonsillitis and gave him 2 antibiotic shots. Saturday morning he still wasn't feeling great and he hadn't eaten anything since Wednesday. When I talked to the doctor on Saturday he wanted to see him again so I took him back in. When they weighed him he had lost 2 pounds since Wednesday. The doctor gave him an oral antibiotic to take for the next 10 days. He still isn't eating or talking much, his mouth is full of canker sores. I now thin that when I took him in a couple weeks ago for a sore throat that maybe that was tonsillitis too. I am going to call his doctor tomorrow to see what we should do.
