5 months sober

Yesterday I had 5 months sober and I feel amazing. My fiance had 6 months sober yesterday and we have been together for 6 years. Things can be stressful and my car is leaking oil faster than I can put it in. Im going to beauty school and I love it. A month after I got sober my son's father kept him after a visit and put an immediate restraining order between my son and I however he had been using with me and went to jail and everything has been in my favor since. Hardest 33 days of my life and my fiance kept telling me and encouraging me if I could get through it and stay sober the sky is the limit. Now there's a protection order and a restraining order between him and I and him and our son. Extremely abusive and manipulative and my son has confided to me his dad is abusive to his current gf. I am so greatful and thankful for my creator and all my support.

My 8 y/o son has mono

He was complaining about his throat and could hear a difference in his voice. i looked in the back of his throat and white dots all over swollen tonsils. I had school so my mom took him to the walk in clinic. He tested negative for strep and wanted to do a blood draw to test for mono and my son has had very traumatic experiences with that sort of thing so my mom opted out and its pretty clear what hes got. Im trying to keep him hydrated. He wont even swallow his spit though he jut has a cup that he continuously spits into and i keep trying to get him to try and get him to drink some broth but he just absolutely does not want to swallow. I dont really know what to do other than maybe take him to a childrens hospital. Any advice on what we can do for the pain so he can at least swallow and get some broth down because he is telling me hes starving it just is too uncomfortable to try and get anything down.
