I took Hunter back in to the doctor today. Everybody had me freaked out that he had mumps. I was reassured that he didn't. And they ran a blood test to make sure he didn't have mono. Which he doesn't. His white blood cell count is getting better so the strep is going away. The swelling in his gland is going to take weeks to get better. His fever finally broke today.
So the moral of the story is OBEY the doctors orders. If he says keep them away from other kids for 24 hours, PLEASE DO!!!!!!! They say 24 hours for a reason, and it doesn't mean when you hurry up and get the 3rd dose of antibiotics in them they are ok. Your child may not have it too bad but the person you may infect could get it a lot worse!!! (not to mention the family members that you are also exposing in the process).
