A Visit To The Doc
So little buddy had a super high fever this week. Like 103.1. Highest he's ever had. And then he started puking. Fortunately Jack was there to clean it up. He's good like that. And then he had a head-ache. And then came the rash.
Thought it was time to maybe take him into the doctor at that point, since the rash took over his entire body. Didn't seem normal. "I'm no doctor!" {to quote our favorite comedian Brian Regan}
I was totally thinking it was the flu. But again, I'm no doctor. So the good doc says his throat is red, takes a swab with a major long q-tip. Never seen one that big before.
She comes back in the room and says, "Well, Jackson has scarlet fever."
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????
I'm sayin' to myself, "SELF, DON'T PEOPLE DIE FROM SCARLET FEVER??????"
But before I could panic the good doctor said, "Now don't worry. We have antibiotics nowadays so people don't die like they used to."
Well that's good news.
And as a little bonus trivia for you, just as a thank you for reading my blog ... do you wanna know what scarlet fever is? Simply put, it's just strep throat accompanied by a rash.
Hmmmm. Who knew?
Thankfully little buddy is on the mend. And as cute as ever.
