To the Doctor's Office

Last week Patrick had a rash in his diaper. I took him to the doctor and they said it was a rash from the strep virus. They put him on ten days of medicine and it cleared up. On Thursday Patrick started running fever. He stayed with G.G. for the day and then I kept him on Friday. We went back to the doctor on Friday and they did a chest x-ray and blood work. They prescribed ten days of antibiotics because of his fever and swollen lymph node. The doctor said it was swollen about the size of an avocado. Today his fever was gone and the lymph node swelling reduced a little. Tomorrow we should get the results to know if he has cat scratch disease or a staph infection in his lymph node.
