What I thought was turning the corner somehow became a circle of fever raises at night and just not being on the mend. I took Joyanna to the doctor on Monday. Even Philip’s happy time wasn’t very long and his congestion wasn’t clearing up. He joined in the same cycle and I took him to the doctor on Wednesday. They both came back a weak positive for strep and also have a respiratory virus. Thankfully, it was not the flu (although they got a flu shot). They are both having a hard time of it overall. They started antibiotics to knock out the strep. Today I thought they were going to feel better. No one woke up with a fever. Joyanna ate a little and moved around some to play. Philip seemed much less congested and all his vitals were stronger. Then after nap, they both had a fever again. I’m honestly quite ready to be done with fevers and all that accompanies them. I think moms just have a hard time because at least my mind is always searching for what’s wrong and how I can make it better--plus anticipating everyone’s changing needs when they are sick is a challenge. Please pray their bodies have strength and can really kick these things. The other 3 of us are still well. I’m so thankful. Please pray we stay that way.
