This week Cohen had Strep Throat for the first time. He started acting sick on Monday, and we took him to the Dr. on Tuesday. At the Dr. office, they showed me the back of his throat. It was covered with white blisters. It hurt him so bad to swallow. He would hollow out his throat and let his spit pool in his mouth. When it was totally full, he would open his mouth and let it dribble down the front of his shirt. Marshall and I had such a hard time getting him to swallow his medicine, his anti-biotic and even water. This photo above is of him holding a drink of water in his mouth. At the time of the photo it had been there for over 5 minutes. He was so miserable, that it actually seemed he was getting worse as the days went on. I called the Dr. several times, and they assured me that he would eventually get better. It was a LONG 72 hours, but on Friday he started drinking and even eating again. I can only hope that this never happens again. We are sorry buddy...We love you.

Poor Cohen! Strep throat is no fun. Camryn has had it three times in six months. Hope he gets better soon.
Maybe you should put a picture of you feeling yucky too....then I might be more inclined to drop off some french fries :)
