Sick Boy!

The teenager is sick. He's been complaining of a sore throat for several days, but in the last two days developed a pretty nasty cough as well. Today's the second day of school he's missed, minus his first hour which he needed to be at so he got up and went both days. I called the Dr. and they weren't going to see him until tomorrow until I mentioned that I thought he might have strep. The only appointment available was 10:30, which is very close to the time the Princess gets out of school, so I had to send him off on his own. Having done that, I actually have no idea what is wrong with him. I do know he doesn't have strep (at least according to the rapid test results), but that he does have some kind of infection that requires antibiotics. I guess that's all that really matters, but geesh, I should have sent a tape recorder with him!
