Carter started running a little fever on Saturday, but I gave him some Motrin and he seemed to be ok. Well, Sunday he seemed even worse, cranky and clingy and overall not happy, even though he had his beloved Sutton here.
So I took a Mommy and Carter day today and we headed over to visit our friend Dr. Huval. We walked in this morning and Carter knew immediately this was not a place he wanted to be :( I had to carry him in the doory way and he cried the moment we walked into the exam room!
Dr. Huval checked his ears and happily everything looked great there. His tubes are still in place and perfect, but then she took a look at his throat and asked me to look back with her. It was awful! I saw huge white spots on his tonsils that looked like large ulcers. OUCH! Poor little guy! No wonder he's been snoring like a freight train and feeling so irritable.
So we headed on home armed with Benadryl and Maalox (who knew! to coat his throat...) and he's napping peacefully now after almost falling asleep in his high chair. Let's hope he's feeling better soon!

:( poor carter, no wonder he was his usual cheerful self this weekend. I hope he's feeling better soon. Is it strep?

The rapid strep test came back negative, which isn't a surprise because apparently it's very rare under age 2. But they sent it off to the lab for the full test and we'll hear back today. So it seems like it's tonsillitis.
