We think Josiah may have scarlet fever. He's got the sandpaper rash on his neck, groin, and bottom, a low grade fever, and a sore throat. Would probably not be such a big deal in the U.S., but we're in China. If our agency's doctor is in Nanjing today then we'll see if she'll look at him when we arrive, otherwise we'll seek out a doctor/hospital. We meet Autumn tomorrow.
Praying:
- for peace
- that we can find a good dr. to diagnose Josiah
- that we can get antibiotics quickly to deal with this.

I know you have been on the internet looking at scarlet fever. looks like good old penicillin will help.
ReplyDeleteJon is home and has been feeling ok. However, tonight he is having some more pain and I may need to take him back to the hospital tonight or in the morning.
I have been having so many computer problems. I've checked everything out and it works off and on. I hope it does not go down so we can see autumn.
Give a kiss to the boys and get some rest if you can. I love you all...MOM
we met your dr at the airport in Beijing on our way in. she said she was meeting a family in Nanjing and I asked if it was you all:) I hope you will see her tomorrow!! Changsha is so much warmer than Beijing and it is not raining as forecasted:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there and we are praying for you all!!! John David was sick when we got to China in 2007 and I was stressed!!!
Praying you can get to a doctor and that Josiah feels better.
ReplyDeleteVery excited that you get to meet Autumn.
