Tonight has not gone well. Emmett has gotten really sick. His fever has come back, and his throat still hurts.
At bedtime, Emmett complained of nausea. We helped him fall asleep, and he was out for about two hours. Around 10pm, Emmett puked all over his bed, and his bed is the top bunk.
I’m once again on the couch in the living room. Emmett’s on the other one, curled up, and sleeping. God bless Lizze cause while I was comforting Emmett, she somehow got his bed scrubbed down and sanitized.
I didn’t know this, but apparently strep throat can cause nausea and vomiting. We’re not sure if this is why we’re dealing with all of this unpleasantness, but if he’s not better by Monday, we’re going to get him to the doctors.
Please keep Emmett in your thoughts and prayers..
If you think it’s strep you might want to get him to an urgent care place to get a rapid strep test and antibiotics. Strep is super contagious so it’s better to find out sooner rather than later on this one. It’s also terribly painful- I had it when I was 19 or 20 and it knocked me down for almost a week. Hope he’s feeling better soon.
We usually give it a day or so to clear up before heading to the doctor. I’ll end up taking him in the morning for sure.
When ever I am sick and I have any hint of nausea I always have a puke bucket standing by as a just incase. Also I have had strep throat ya it was really bad for me.
I looked it up last night and apparently, nausea and vomiting are a symptom of Strep… Weird…. ☺
