Mama texted Nanaw Monday morning to say that Chase was still sick and wasn't going to school. Nanaw offered to take him to the doctor but he told Mama he didn't want to go. Nanaw went to pick Chase up, and he fell asleep on the way over to her house. He seemed really tired and listless, and Mama and Nanaw were worried about him. So Nanaw took him to the doctor's office. They had Dr. Matt who is Dr. Charles' son. Dr. Charles was Chase's first pediatrician but he's now retired. Dr. Matt gave Nanaw lots of information but the bottom line is there isn't much you can do about a stomach bug or gastroenteritis. Chase also has an ear infection, and Dr. Matt prescribed amoxicillin for that. Chase was tired and without energy all day. He spent time on the futon watching the weather channel with his stuffed "amamals." He also watched some videos on Roblox. Then he crawled onto Pawpaw's bed and took a 3 1/2 hour nap -- amazing. When he woke up, he was almost his old self, and Nanaw was very happy about that. Daddy caught what Chase has and stayed home from work today.
