The last week and a half the kids had a mystery illness. The pediatrician did a strep test on Sutton and said the line was faint, but because he had been exposed at daycare and he had a fever that was what she was going to call it. Three days on antibiotic (against what we would typically do)and he was still spiking a 103 degree fever, so we began questioning what was going on. In the mean time Leland decided that he would also start spiking temps, but only about 100 degrees. The mystery part comes in that one day the kids would have fevers and be miserable and the next day they would be fine. We thought Sutton was doing better and then when I picked him up from daycare his eyes were all swollen and puffy and he had broken out in a lovely rash. So of course it was another trip back to the pediatrician. Leland also got to go along this time because he was still spiking fevers. With clearance from the pediatrician saying she didn't think they were contagious any longer because it had been so long they went back to daycare. Then Thursday I picked Leland up and he kept saying his head hurt. Tami assured me that he had been fine all day. When we got home he did not get up off the couch until it was time to eat dinner. Just as we sat down to eat he lost his lunch all over the dinner table, talk about losing your appetite!! He then headed back to the couch for about 30 minutes, then he was in rare form. He began asking for food and of course I was a little leery. With hesitation I gave him some of the chicken we had for dinner. Then he wanted carrots and ranch and apples and peanut butter, what a combination after just getting sick!! Then I am in the kitchen cleaning up and I come to check on him and he has decided that he is going to clean the half bathroom with a wet wipe. I think this mystery illness really got to him!! Since then thankfully they have been well.
