Poor little bear

We are back from the doctors.

The doctor hummed and ahhed and said that initially he would just treat the symptoms in front of him - badly swollen tonsils (which I missed, though I had been trying to coax ice lollies for his sore throat).  So little bear has antibiotics for tonsillitis. 

However the doctor is not entirely convinced and if little bear is not better at the end of a week then I have to take him back to have a blood test for glandular fever.  Unfortunately glandular fever would explain a lot of little bear's symptoms, especially the length of them and their vagueness.  And the doctor is really good, spot on, very clued up, has practiced for years and years, and is brilliant with little bear.  Not a young locum who could easily be mistaken. 

If any of you are feeling charitable, please send good wishes and prayers for little bear so that he escapes glandular fever.

Love and prayers for LB coming your way, as well as hugs and good wishes for you as the carers need caring for as well. Hoping that LB is feeling better soon, and that the antibiotics do some good.

Sweetie he'll be fine! I seriously doubt its Glandular Fever.These kids are like walking bug magnets and when they've had a bad one it makes them more susceptible to catching others and this is probably whats up with LB.But got everything crossed for you both just in case
