Strep Throat & Pneumonia

Quick update for the family record on Tru’s health.
2 weeks ago he got a fever, stopped eating, and was lethargic.
Strep Throat!
with the scarlet fever rash
(which is inconsequential though hearing it made me think of all the movies with people dying from scarlet fever …
Beth from Little Women, Gilbert in Anne of Green Gables, etc).

So grateful for antibiotics.
Thank you yummy tasting pink amoxicillin.

Then in the middle of his antibiotics for Strep, he got a cold.
Which turned into a cough.
Which turned into a non-stop cough/choke = not normal.
Slight case of pneumonia on his right side.
Augmentin. Bless you.

After 2 days, his cough is doing a hundred times better.
We’ve tried to load that kid with liquid and healthy food,
but he hardly eats anything.

Tru: 33 lbs
Liza: 29 lbs

He’s definitely a light-weight and always has been.
But Tru – let’s eat more fruits & veggies little man!

We love you too much to have you get sick all winter!
(p.s. maybe STOP biting your fingernails too… all those germs!!)
