Both Zach and Josh has been having some medical issues in the last week. Josh has bacterial bronchitis. It came on so quickly! When we were there he was fine, the next day he called and was really sick. He's been to the doctor up in Minnesota twice now and is on four different medications. He is slowly getting better. He goes back on Thursday for a recheck to make sure he is doing okay. I'm sure his roommate is just about tired of hearing Josh cough all night. I'll admit that it was hard not having him at home so I could take care of him. I'm really thankful for the school nurse that has evaluated him daily since he got sick.
Zach has had a rash for a few months. I wasn't too concerned at first since he has so many allergies and such sensitive skin, but it continued to get worse no matter what we tried. The itching finally got so bad that he couldn't stand it any more, so we made a trip to the doctors (even though he doesn't have insurance coverage yet). Of course, the doctor doesn't know what it is, but after many questions, he has narrowed it down to a food allergy. Zach is on several medications, which are definitely giving him some relief. Unfortunately, he will probably be itching again in a few weeks once he is off the meds. I suspect that he will need to have some allergy testing done to find out what is causing the rash.
