Strep Throat

Poor guy got strep throat from school. We got a call on Wednesday afternoon that Aj's stomach was hurting really bad. within a few hours his fever was up at 104. We called the dr. Got Dad out of work to take Aj and got him started on medication.

The next 24 hours were tortured for this poor kid and his Mama. I can handle a bit of sickness, cuts and bruises, but having a child with a high fever, fever dreams, dehydration, and tears that won't stop just rips my heart to shreds. We were so close to taking him into the emergency room, when Joe decided to wake him up late at night (11pm) force him to drink so water, stay up until he could pee and then give him a blessing. Our prayers were answered almost immediately. Dear boy went back to sleep and woke up without a single symptom. We are so grateful for medication and the power of the priesthood.
