Hey guys! It has been absolutely crazy around here lately.

Chase’s cath appointment has been set for the 15th (of this month.) That’s still all we know as far as that goes; we won’t be able to get more information on what’s wrong or how they plan to fix it until they are actually in there, taking a look. In other news, though, Chase woke with a fever and lethargy Friday morning. We still aren’t sure what caused it (Strep culture came back negative, but his throat was red enough for his pediatrician to suspect it anyways.) Sometimes when it rains, it pours, huh? He’s been put on amoxicillin for the next ten days, in hopes that it will wipe out whatever he had brewing and also inoculate him until the procedure. I’m not a fan of over-medicating (especially with antibiotics) when we didn’t really know what was wrong in the first place, but unfortunately with a hospital visit just around the corner we really can’t take any chances. Better safe than sorry. 

He’s been a little trooper, though, and has been running around fever-free all weekend. (Literally. There is no shortage of energy over here!) The antibiotics have been upsetting his stomach, but we are thinking some immodium ad will help him out, and are hoping for smooth sailing until the 15th. (Fingers crossed.) As always, we’ll let everyone know as soon as we find out more.

         Have a great day, guys!
