We don't want anymore sick days, well at least this mom doesn't want anymore sick days. Last Wednesday Tucker woke up and was real lethargic acting. I knew something wasn't quite right. Thursday morning he got up and you could tell by the smell of his breath and by listening to him talk that his throat was bothering him. After taking a look we found bright red swollen tonsils.....that were covered in pus. I did as any mom would do and webmd'd it. My exact diagnosis was tonsillitis. (Yes, my name is Katie Brown, M.D.) He had no fever so I really wasn't too worried. On Saturday he started acting himself and his tonsils had started to return to normal size.
Then....it was Chaney's turn. Saturday night she started in with fever. She ran a fairly high temp for her, about 102. Motrin/Tylenol would only bring it back down to around 100. She was coughing like crazy but didn't have any swelling of the tonsils. Finally, on Monday evening she started acting better and her temp was around 99 when she went to bed. This morning she woke up and was fever free. 48 hours (almost exactly) and this bug was gone. BUT...the cough is still here.
These pics were taken on Monday, she looks pretty pathetic. The good news is she is a good patient;-)
Hopefully, Paislee doesn't follow in this trend and feel the need to get sick.
