As I mentioned in the Halloween post, on our way home that evening Owen starting feeling really bad. He was crying and inconsolable all night. Our little guy was just miserable. He cried so much that he threw up. We called the nurse line on Saturday 11/1 and she suggested we take him to Children’s Healthcare. They sent us home with no real diagnosis, and the following week included 3 more visits to the doctor’s office. No one could tell me why my sweet boy was suddenly struggling to walk normally, running a fever and crying non-stop. After negative flu and strep tests, our final doctor’s visit revealed a very inflamed throat. All the signs pointed to a virus of sorts. It was ten days of misery for our whole household and we were glad to see our Owen smile again once the symptoms began to fade.
