Drew woke up Saturday morning covered in a rash and his little man parts were 2-3x the size they are suppose to be and he was complaining that they hurt. Yeah, I'm sure they did...poor little guy. So, I took him to the Emergency Department since it was Saturday. They thought that it might be mumps. Which you know this vaccine crazed Mom was not happy to hear since he had his MMR and I am a big loud mouth about vaccinating your children. Anyway, after an ultrasound, tests and lots of waiting...it was strep. He showed no symptoms of strep. He hadn't been sick (other than that one random fever thursday afternoon) and his throat was clear so I didn't see that coming. The good news is I was told it was just his bodies reaction to it, so it didn't mean he had had it for a while and he also wasn't contagious so I knew Jack and I weren't going to get it...yay! So, they gave him a shot of antibiotics in the bum and sent us on our way. He is back to his normal crazy self.
