Yoda has been begging for Cub Scout Day Camp for YEARS! This was his year. So of course he got strep right in the middle of it.
Monday he started out strong, it was also the HOTTEST day of the week.
He was the popular kid with a cool battery-powered fan and a water mister.
But half-way through Tuesday he was fading. No fever or sore throat, he just seemed overwhelmed by the heat.
But he stuck to it and tried to make it a great day.
This is when I dragged him to the nurse's station. After some A/C and lots of Gatorade, he was ready to go again!
Wednesday he hung in there...
With bursts of energy now and then.
Still no fever, loss of appetite, sore throat, nothing.
Then Thursday he spiked a fever and finally on Sunday his fever was so bad we took him to the urgent care. After a day they called back and said he did, in fact, have strep. Poor guy, though he only missed 1 and 1/2 of the days, and they were less exciting then the ones he attended. Hopefully next year will be better!
While feeling lousing and thinking of himself as a character in a video game he said to me in a weak voice, "...my life points..."
Poor thing! I never heard of anyone getting strep as much as your kids!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry this happened to him. Hopefully next year will better. Looks like he wanted to stick with it so much, he did so much even though he must have been feeling sick.
ReplyDeleteThat Strep is a stinker. I'm sorry it got little boy. You do look cozy and taken care of in you own home.
