So thinking I would just send Mike and him to urgent care at night, I began to feel really bad for him because he was getting sick every 30 mins to an hour again.
Michelle was picking up Caden for his t-ball party, so I called our neighbor Lauren, who is 13 1/2 and Teagan ADORES, and she came over to watch Teagan so I could take Riordan along with Aislinn to a nearby Urgent Care. At first he resisted but then wanted to go. Once we got there, he threw up in the parking lot :(
I had printed the paper work online and filled it out before we got there, so it was very easy to hand it over. Within minutes we were being seen.
Temp was 102, and to me it was breaking, so I wonder what it was when it spiked, because he is so stubborn he wouldn't let me take it. When we saw the Doctor, he agreed it was Strep, even though Riordan wouldn't open his mouth, and got us meds. He even did a shot of antibiotics in the office for me, because my stubborn mule wasn't wanting to take medicine and spitting it out. I just wanted him to feel better asap, and a shot I knew would help. He handled it impressively well though! Didn't fight it, a hip shot, as I held him in my arms and now is proud of his bandaid.
He still got sick quite a few times when we got home and in the middle of the night. So I'm praying once he wakes up he will be a new little boy again, happy, impish, and full of mischief.
Although, since he doesn't cuddle, I'm loving every minute of the cuddles I am getting!
