ugh...not how i wanted to start a morning. graham woke up and felt pretty warm. took his temperature and it was a nice 103. dosed him up with tylenol and let him kind of chill out for a little bit. when i went to check him in 30 minutes or so, the poor kid, i could feel heat radiating off of his body. i knew something wasn't right. i took his temperature again and it was still 102. yup, made the executive decision to take the dude to patient first.
5 minutes until we were at patient first i had flashbacks to when he was 7 months old and headed to the doctors. yup, i turn into the parking lot and graham starts coughing...but not a normal cough. ugh...with the third of three coughs comes the vomit. commence mommy freakout mode! i speed through the parking lot and get to patient first. luckily i had some towels in the trunk and i was able to get most of him clean. shorts were toast though, so i had to call grady and have him come bring me some, since of course that was the one thing i didn't have in the diaper bag.
i could tell that graham was definitely not himself when he fell asleep on me in the waiting room after we had been checked in. he barely even woke up when they were taking his temperature and weight. it wasn't until we got to the exam room that he kind of woke up and was somewhat himself.
as we waited for the doctor, we were able to distract him a bit with a movie on daddy's phone.
definitely not the news we wanted to hear from the doctor though.
STREP!
oh no!!! this is graham's first case of strep, and if he's anything like his mom...it won't be his last. for his sake, i hope it's his last. or at the very list, one of a handful of times he gets strep.
well...looks like someone will be staying home from school tomorrow!
