Blake Sickness Update
Blake started feeling bad on Nov. 9 when she spent the night with my mom after Cathy's rehearsal dinner. Cut to today, where we spent our morning at the pedi, then LabCorp, then the hospital lab. It started as 2 ear infections, tonsillitis, and an eye infection, and her throat and ears have bothered her off and on since then. (she had a similarly long lasting tonsillitis over the summer) fever off and on too. This past weekend she spent most of it around 101, down to 100 a lot and up to 102 and shivering. According to Dr. B, her tonsils are full of puss and her left ear too. (currently running tests for strep, even though the pedi strep test came back neg, mono, and adenovirus) We talked about all her symptoms like difficulty eating due to throat pain, but when I mentioned her snoring (which is as loud as a grown man's) he said that is more dangerous than tonsillitis. He recommends removing her tonsils and adenoids. We go to see Dr. C, the E.N.T. tomorrow, so hopefully we can get Blake's huge tonsils out ASAP!
