Strep????
Last weekend Piper had a fever and was tired, so she slept. The next day her fever was gone and she was up and about like nothing happened. I thought it was strange but we moved on. A few days later Lela had a fever and got tired, slept it off and was fine. Two days after her fever Lela told me her throat hurt, I gave her a lozenge and sent her to bed. The next morning she said her throat still hurt so I looked inside and it was classic textbook strep. Zowie! They have never had it before (thankfully) and had no other symptoms and seemed fine. I was a little taken back by the suspected diagnosis but took them in the doctor to confirm. It was in fact strep, turns out Piper and Lela had it. So we are on a course of antibiotics (something I don’t normally do) and a course of probiotics to put back in the good guys for 10 days. It is funny because the medicine tastes like bubble gum and the girls think it tastes gross. Sometimes I laugh at what they don’t like…coffee cake, donuts (who doesn’t like donuts), bubble gum and lots of really sweet stuff that most kids dig. Anyhoo, all is well and no one else (ie Jason, myself or Landis) got the strep thank goodness. Good thing Grampy and Grammy were out of town or I am sure we would have given them an early Halloween present:)
