The situation- Joseph went snow boarding on Friday night. He was content to stay home
and do homework most of Saturday. He did go out with some buddies
Saturday night. When he got home at midnight he complained of bad body
aches and having the chills. He felt feverish. Sunday morning he
reported not sleeping well due to his body aches. He only got minimal
relief from Tylenol. Joseph stayed home from church. After church
joseph came and laid down with David and I for the afternoon nap. He
kept flinching in pain and moaning. His pain was under his ribs up
high on the right side, about the size of his hand is the size of the
area of pain. He still felt warm. Dave and I decide to take him into
the ER.

The dr examined the teenager and orders a few tests including a chest
xray and a throat culture. (Did he have a sore throat? Oh ya just a
little one when he swollows)
The diagnosis-Strep throat and extra intense body aches especially
where he fell when snow boarding.
The treatment- amoxicillin, tylenol, and ibuprofen, plenty of
liquids, no school tomorrow. Lacrosse only as tolerated, after Monday.
Weird unexpected diagnosis but so thankful it was simple. After we got
home I diagnosed and medicated myself with excedrin. Strange how the
mama-ness can give me a headache. Hope my boy sleeps soundly
tonight. It's been a rough day.
