Our spring break

....was full of doctor visits, uncertainty, stress, and medicine. It sure didn't turn out like I had imagined at all. We had a great Easter and then wham on Monday Cameron came down with strep. We got him on his medicine and thought we would be great. Then Wednesday Tanner came in from outside saying he was itching and I saw this....

Which led to this.....

 Thursday

Friday

He didn't want to move, he was hurting everywhere.  He was itching like crazy and just miserable.  I noticed on Thursday that he was swollen, his hands ankles, face, and had a fever.  We took him back to the doctors and they ordered some blood work and an EKG for possible rheumatic fever. Very sad when you can't do anything to help him feel better felt so helpless.  The pediatrician put him on a Z pack.  We went and picked that up Friday morning and started him on that.  By mid afternoon I noticed that his lips were swelling, and he was growing horns on his head.  Upon further examination he had bumps all over the back of his head, and his ear was huge and swollen.  So we made another trip to the doctors office.  Jason came with me and this time the doctor felt like it was a severe reaction to the antibiotic that we were treating him for strep.  So we made appts for the cardiologist and the pediatric infectious disease specialist.  We were also told to give him a steroid.  Amazing what it did, by Saturday morning we seriously had a different boy.  One that was a little to crazy.  It was really good to see him moving normally and not grimacing when he moved. 

Hopefully we can find some answers and we can get our healthy, happy, crazy kid back!
