We just got back from the doctor’s office. I’m so proud of Wallace. He did such an incredible job. This is how the initial conversation went between Wallace and the doctor:
Wallace: I’n very sick.
Doctor: I see. You’re very sick. What parts of you are sick? Are you sick in your ears?
W: Yes.
Doctor: Okay, are you sick in your eyes?
W: No.
Doctor: Are you sick in your throat?
W: Yes.
D: Are you sick in your tummy?
W: No.
D: Have you had a fever?
W: Yes.
D: Was it a high fever, or a low fever?
Wallace *solemnly*: It was a five fever.
Doctor: A five fever! That’s a pretty bad fever.
W: Yes.
So she did a rapid strep test that came up negative, but she said while his ears look okay, his throat is very red. So he’s got a bad flu and has to stay home the rest of the week. For the next 24 hours he’s on the Tylanol/Motrin switch every two hours to stay on top of the fever.
So Wallace is on the couch, and we are watching Milo and Otis. Again.
I’m just glad it looks like he’s going to be okay.
Oh, and just in case you thought he wasn’t cute enough, he told his dad and I that he felt “mistable” today.
Poor mistable bubba.
