today i had the weirdest doctor appointment that i can remember. i took kelton for his 15 month check up (but he is 16 months old) anyway, this morning, after his nap, i got him dressed at 11, we had lunch, and headed for the doctor's. we got there and while i was in the room undressing him i noticed he was covered in a rash. i was totally taken by surprise as i had just noticed it. the doctor came in, did his nomal check up, and noticed his throat was a little red. he swabbed it and did a test to see if he had anything that was the cause of the rash. now if i was at home, i would have not taken him to the doctor for a rash because normally it goes away after a few days because it's just a little virus. but i was there so he was checked just in case.
the boys played while we waited for the result, kelton got his shots, and then the doctor came back in. kelton has strep throat...... uh strep throat are you serious. i couldn't believe it. it's not very common on a 16 month old and at this age, a rash is a beginning sign of it. so fortunately we caught it before it got worse but unfortunately strep throat is very contagious so i hope no one else gets it. i asked the doctor, so what would happen if i didn't come in today. he said you would be in here in three days with a very sick child. thank goodness for the rash that made the test happen and ammoxocillan, kelton will be fine by tomorrow night and not have to get the real feeling of strep throat.

Strep at 16 months! Wow you are lucky. Cute "little" guy. Glad all is well and hope it doesn't spread.

what perfect timing for the rash to show up! thank goodness!!
Oh my goodness, what a blessing. Take care momma, hope you don't catch it! Love ya!
Poor Kelton! I don't envy you on the strep throats to come. I heard that you are either a carrier or your not. Hopefully he is the only one. I love watching him and his little legs.
Oh, he is such a squish face!!! You have the most beautiful children! I hope he is feeling better real soon!
Kimberly,
I hope Kelton feels better! I just wanted to say thanks for your christmas card and for keeping in touch. I love hearing from you. You and John are wonderful.:) We didn't send out cards this year, but will definitely do it this next year. Congrats on the baby to come! Say hello to everyone. big hugs. Brock
I'm so glad you caught the strep before it got too bad. I could always tell my kids had it because they kept pulling on their ears, or telling me their ears hurt. Kelton is such a cute boy. I can't believe he is 16 months already!
So glad he is doing good now!!! Crazy stuff. He weighs the same as Callahan. Yikes.
