Sager update...


Well Sager doesn't have the flu, which is good but he does have Scarlet Fever!!!!
Yes, it's true, you know Sager can't do anything normal.  His motto is go big or don't go at all!!!  (not really!) This morning, I noticed that the little rash I thought was from the fever had spread all over his body.  When I called the doctor's office they thought it was unusual so they had us come in.  Brandon had picked up Sager from his parents and when he did, he noticed Sager's eye was swollen, it was really weird!  So when we got to the doctor's office, they were like wow, because by now it was really swollen, and I was like yeah..... so they tested him for the flu and for strep, and of course it was positive for strep and not positive for the flu, go figure...

The really funny part was that they wanted a medical student to come in and look at Sager but they weren't going to tell her anything, so she comes in and asks us some questions, I tell her the same story that I told the other doctor and the nurse practitioner, and so the medical student asks us some more stuff and then the nurse practitioner (he was a new one that we hadn't seen before but he was very lovely) came in and asked the medical student so what do you think it is?  I can't even remember what she said but the nurse practitioner was like, wrong!!!!! It really was funny, he said that Sager had tested positive for strep and the medical student said well he didn't complain of a sore throat, and so she had Sager open his mouth and I said that Sager has kind of a high pain threshold, and Sager has had strep in the past and he hadn't ever even complained about a sore throat and she was like really?, and I wanted to say get real lady, she obviously hadn't been around very many kids... oh well, it ended up all right....Sager has started a round of antibiotics and maybe he's on the road to recovery.
