Starting late summer, Bennett had some tummy problems. He was so uncomfortable that I ended up in the ER with him one night at 4am after no sleep. Some blood tests and some hydration and a lot of PBS later, we were sent home with no real answers.
The tests continued when Bennett started to limp and complained of his hips hurting. He was tested for Lymes, had a GI ultrasound, several blood tests and this poor guy was a trooper. He was so tired and fed up with testing when we finally got a positive test for STREP! This was the second time he was tested and the rapid test had initially come back negative. But, when they called us three days later, they said strep was the answer. This was a long couple months of worry, testing, and on-and-off aches, fevers, and pain for poor Bennett. Now we know that he manifests some bacterial infections differently, so we will be on the lookout for that.
So thankful to have healthy kiddos.
