Sick-o Weirdness

The saga continues.......

So Ryan was down with the yucky fever/flu yesterday but then it made an odd turn. After his fever broke his forehead got all red and puffy. We both thought this was too weird to leave alone so he took himself to the walk-in clinic.

Turns out, after doing many tests and hours of waiting and sitting, he has strep in his skin. How weird is that?? Ryan says that the medical staff were baffled by his symptoms and conditions. They gave him the diagnosis but were still unsure if that is what it really was. So they gave him a shot of antibiotics last night and told him to come back this morning for another round. If his symptoms and condition did not improve then they'd have to refer him to an infectious disease specialist. Doesn't all that sound like Ryan's case could be an episode on House?

When Ryan got home (over six hours at the clinic!) he googled the information and came across pictures and information that were the same as what he was experiencing. It was comforting to find information that was conclusive to his diagnosis.

Ryan feels better today but still has a slight on/off fever. He will stay home one more day from work and will most likely return tomorrow. I am thankful for quickly answered prayers (as we prayed many yesterday). God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!

Wow - weirdness! We got House, Season 3 for Christmas and have been doing marathons each night, so I'm definitely in that head space. Hope it clears up soonly!
