Poor Ava has been sick off and on with a fever and sore throat since Monday. She went to the doctors Tuesday and they did a throat culture and said it was probably a virus. It would take 2 days to get the culture back.Well by yesterday her fever had gotten better so i thought she was getting better. Then Scott called me on my way home from work yesterday and said she was fussy and just not herself, so i was off to take her to urgent care . I called our pediatrician Dr Elias and he said that urgent care is not for babies- it's for accidents- and that she would see a PA who would do all sorts of unnecessary tests, so he said for me to meet him at his office--at this late hour of 1:00 am!! So I met up with him and he saw us in his office at 1:00 am and sent us home with a script for antibiotics. He saved us from having to wait hours at urgent care. I am so pleased with him--he is just a great old-fashioned doctor and really does care about his patients.. obviously!! Anyways we found out today that Ava was positive for Strep throat so he switched the antibiotic -now that we know for sure. She is feeling better after just one dose.
