First Antibiotic

Jonah has experienced yet another first this week...his first antibiotic. He has not been feeling well for the last couple of days. Since Sunday I have not been able to get him to hardly eat anything. For those of you who have spent any length of time around my boys you know that for either of them to voluntarily pass up a meal, there is a problem. Tuesday afternoon, Jonah's fever spiked and he got really listless, so I headed off to the doctor with him. Turns out he has strep throat. We finally got enough Tylenol/Motrin in him last night for his fever to break and got him started on his antibiotics. He had a better night last night than we had been having and seems like he feels a little better this morning.
Of course the doctor said to keep Jonah away from Noah to keep Noah from getting sick. This doctor obviously does not have children of his own or he would realize how ridiculously impossible it is to keep children away from each other. Hopefully, none of us will get strep, even though we spend twenty-four hours a day with each other!
