Strawberries

Carson's illness didn't seem to fit the diagnosis of croup and asthma exacerbation when his symptoms grew and his fever/malaise increased yesterday. He wouldn't get off the couch and was restless sleeping. This morning he woke up at 8:30 (two hours later than his normal rise and shine) and yawned really big. This is what I saw....



Now I know why he's feeling like crap. Off to the pediatrician at 2:10 to get a script for antibiotics. Too bad it's not going to be just a follow-up appointment from the ER visit.

***** Leave a comment with Carson's diagnosis and why he will need antibiotics and I'll mail/bring you a special treat! *****

I'm gonna guess scarlet fever/strep because that what the tongues all looked like in our house a few weeks back. His face doesn't appear bright red, though, so I'm probably wrong. I hope he feels better soon!

That is a nice strawberry tongue. I am surprised he didn't complain of a sore throat. Hope he feels better soon. See ya at work.
