We may have made it through the flu season with flying colors but allergy season has Parker suffering! Three weeks ago I received a call from the school that Parker had a fever of 100. Therefore it was off to the doctor. Strep throat was going around and with all of his symptoms I felt sure that was what he had. The doctor agreed but the strep test was negative. He was already on antibiotics so they felt that may be giving a false test. Parker's 3 month checkup with respiratory doctor was scheduled for a few days later. When we arrived they didn't have us go for an Xray as usual but as soon as the doctor listened to his lungs we were headed for an Xray! Both lungs in the lower parts were full so out came the prescription pad and Parker was on the strong stuff. He responded very quickly and was doing great. Five days off the antibiotic and fever returned with all the same symptoms. Parker's follow up appointment was today and the Xray was pretty much the same. The doctor decided to switch his breathing treatments to a new inhaler so hopefully this will help and give him a little relief. His next appointment will be in a month. Parker looks great so I think we can handle and survive this roller coaster! Love, Kay
