So Conor has been sick since Sunday. They thought he had mono but thankfully that came back negative. I thought he had strep since he normally smells bad when he has strep (prolly TMI, but I really don’t care!) So I diagnoised him with Strep and told him to stay away from Ethan and I, ESPECIALLY since we had this upcoming trip! He did a fairly good job but they never actually confirmed my diagnoisis because apparently they lost the throat swab. I am VERY familar with the strep test and I am also aware that it take 90 seconds for a preliminary result to appear on the little tab test they run. *( My mom is in charge of ENT, she has agreed with all this info) For some reason, they told Conor it would take 2 days for the results (plus the one day they lost the swab) It is now almost Friday, we have no diagnosis, no antibiotics and as of 4:05 Ethan has a fever of 102.6. I am still staying fairly optimistic that I will get into the doctor today, start the meds STAT and then continue to enjoy our trip! I really think this could have been avoided if the Active Duty doctors could have slightly coordinated their shit and put Conor on medicine therefore he would not have passed on the illness to Ethan and probably me!
Hopefully you are able to get some solutions to help Ethan before your trip. Being sick sucks!
Obviously you wrote this before talking to the doctors about Ethan…. I hope he does well. Poor thing. Guess you’ll be loading up on the Tylonal and Motrin before you leave.
