He woke up Sunday night with a high fever and headache, and it stuck with him until Wednesday at which point we learned he has strep throat. I had him at the doctor on Monday - they wanted to check his lungs, blood, and do the strep test - which came back negative, but after "growing" it for two days, it turned positive. Poor dude. If only the cells would have cooperated on MONDAY.
We also learned that after his bout with H1N1 3 weeks ago, his immune system is a bit compromised for the forseeable future. Nice, huh? He's doing a little better now after 24 hours on antibiotics - hopefully he'll be fully recovered by the end of the weekend.
We had a major case of cabin fever after the past few days so this afternoon we all headed outside to enjoy the GORGEOUS weather. I played fetch with Murphy and his beloved bunny and the boys played basketball.
Murphy's enjoyed having Jack around - they love crashing together. And let me tell you, this dog KNOWS how to get comfortable. :)
He's now up to 7.5 pounds - was 3.5 when we brought him home. Still having accidents, but I'm working on being forgiving . . .
Happy Friday!

Oh my gosh... he's cute! Are you ready to give him to us yet? We'll take him! :o) Did I mention that he's cute?! Wow, he's cute!
And so are the boys -- love those basketball shots! Glad Jack is feeling better! Hopefully that will be the last of it!
Have a GREAT weekend... I'm off to Camp Scrap! YAHOO!
Hope Mr. Jack is starting to feel better and the offer for a massage to get rid of your nasty headache is still on the table :).
I can't believe how big the boys look playing basketball. I sure hope they never get "too cool" to give their aunt a hug :).
And Murphy . . . oh so cute Murphy. Thanks for sharing!
Have a relaxing weekend!
