Urgent Care

What an adventure.

So Friday night Reid started feeling a little sick. Saturday he got a fever. Sunday he was burning up, had a sore throat and stuffy nose, had sore legs (wtf kind of symptom is that. What good does it do the virus to make your legs sore?) and was getting nauseous. So I decided to go get him some chicken soup and cough drops and pick up a thermometer. Then we found out he had a fever of 102. So we called his parents and they said urgent care would be covered so off we went.

It was weird, that was the nicest, most caring doctor I've ever met in my life. She brought him gatorade and graham crackers, gave him a shot for the migraine, and offered stuff for the nausea too. She had him stay there and lay down so she could make sure whatever she gave him worked. She actually acted like she cared, I was shocked.

So apparently it's super contagious so he was banned from classes for a few days anyway, so his parents came and picked him up so he could rest at home for a few days. So I'm Reidless for a couple days. :(

I guess I should probably work on making more female friends...
