Sick Little Boy

Last week Manti started to get really congested. I thought maybe he was following in his daddy's footsteps and having problems with allergies. On Wednesday we had been out running errands and I noticed his glands were very swollen. My first thought was maybe he had strep. I called the clinic and talked to the nurse, she decided it wasn't anything too serious and set up an appointment for the following day. About an hour later she called me back and said based on his symptoms he could have the MUMPS! I thought that was pretty random but it also made me nervous. That night his fever spiked and he was complaining that his head, ears and mouth were all hurting. I looked at Troy and said, "I bet you he has a double ear infection." After taking him to the doctor, they quickly ruled out the mumps, then strep. The final verdict.....DOUBLE EAR INFECTIONS! For the next four days he was very cuddly and a big mommas boy. I am happy to say that he is now back to his normal self. Up early, into everything and making us laugh all the time.
