Strep

Mason got sick a couple of times at daycare yesterday. They called for us to come pick him up. Phil was at work, but luckily he was able to take off the rest of his shift to get Mason and take him home. (I get an occurrence in my file if I have to leave work unexpected.) He got sick a few more times after they got home, so we made an appointment to see the doctor. I had them test for Strep, because his teacher said they had a child on Friday to get sick and test positive for it. Even though his throat isn't red, he tested positive for it as well. They gave him some medicine to stop the vomiting, and it worked. She also prescribed antibiotics. One good thing from this, the doctor said his ears looked great.

Also, since Mason's head has measured above the 95th percentile since he was a few months old, this doctor ordered him to have an ultrasound of his head. He will have this done tomorrow at 1:00 just as a precaution to make sure he doesn't have any extra fluid up there. She said since he walks, runs, and talks with no obvious struggle, then he's probably fine, but just in case. So, please keep Mason in your prayers.

Continue to keep GranNanny, (my mom) in your prayers. She is still in pain most of the time. She will be having an injection in her hip on Monday, but the doctor is not sure this will help.
