Mine has had some health issues to deal with since Christmas break. He had his wisdom teeth pulled over break and that caused him to lose 10 pounds at least. A few weeks back he contacted a severe strep throat infection. He went to the doctor and got two shots and a prescription for antibiotics and steroids. After about a week, he was still waking up with a severe sore throat so they sent him to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. He was subjected to some very painful procedures and they put him on very powerful antibiotics and steroids. He lost another 7 or 8 lbs with that episode.
Now the strep seems to be under control he still has been bothered by his wisdom teeth. He was sent to an oral surgeon in MB yesterday who said his cavities where the teeth were removed still have not healed completely and he still has an infection. They put him on more antibiotics and gave him a syringe for a vigorous cleaning regimine. If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all this spring
