Slight scare.

We spent last night in the ER at Riley. I noticed yesterday evening that T.J. seemed kinda wiped out. When I put my hand on his forehead he was burning up. He had a temp of 103.4. I called his doctor's office and spoke to the on call Neurosurgeon. He advised me to bring T.J. in. We got there about 9:30 and his temp had gone down a little, but was still 102.6. They did some blood work and swabbed him for strep. The initial strep test came back negative, but they sent out a culture. Due to the fever and a fine sandpaper rash on his chest they feel that he does have strep. So, after 6 hours in the ER we were sent home with a prescription for antibiotics. His temp was down when we got home, but it's back up to 102.4 this morning. He is so worried that this will keep him from going back to school on Monday, but as long as he responds to the antibiotic he should be fine to go by then. The on call Neurosurgeon was really impressed with how well T.J. was doing this short of time after surgery.
