Back from Disney with a minor complication

We are officially back from Disney World. Boo! Everyone had a great time, especially the kids. Sophia's favorite part was eating dinner with the princesses at Cinderella's Castle. Andrew's favorite part was going on a pirate cruise with some pirates. Madeline's favorite part was eating at the Living Seas and seeing Nemo.

Our last night in Disney was interesting, however. Andrew woke up in the middle of the night complaining of stomach pains. He got sick and had a high fever. In the morning I called U of M and the doctor said he could fly home, but should come right to the ER when we arrived at the airport. Chris took Andrew to U of M hospital when we arrived home and has been there most of the night. I just got word the Andrew is doing fine, he just has a bug that is causing the fever. His lungs sound good and his throat looks fine. His blood counts are up, so the doctor's felt he was healthy enough to come home. So Chris and Andrew are stopping at McDonald's and heading home. Tomorrow will be a day of rest and then back to reality.

Sophia and Andrew Get Strep Just in Time for Disney

Andrew was running a fever in the 101.5 range on Sunday, so we called the hematologist on call at U of M Hospital, who advised us to go to the emergency room at Beaumont yet again. They did the same tests on Andrew they have done in the past. Everything came back negative and his blood counts were high, so they sent him home.

Andrew's fever persisted intermittedly on Monday, and he started complaining of a sore throat every now and again. Sophia started getting a fever and showed signs of having pink eye, which Andrew and Madeline had a few weeks back. The fevers continued today, and Andrew's got up to 103.5 today, so we called U of M again today, who told us to see our pediatrician. After checking the two of them out, he determined that they both have strep.

He gave them bith antibiotics, and said they should be fine and not be contagious within 48 hours. That's good, because our flight leaves for Disney World in 72 hours. Madeline has not complained about feeling sick as of yet. Should be an interesting few days befor we leave.
