The House of Chaos!: Strep

YUCK!

Strep has hit our house. Chris got it first last Tuesday. He started feeling crappy and finally left work early on Wednesday to see the doc. It was definitely strep. We cloroxed all the doorknobs and anything possible he touched in the house (and even slept in separate beds!) but somehow the next Sunday I started feeling crappy. Took my temp and it was 99 degrees but I had a sore throat and felt awful. So I went to the doc in the box, found out my fever was actually 103 and sure enough, it was strep. I came home but wasn't allowed to come within arms reach of anyone. It was crazy. I got a good nights sleep (not having to get up with babies) though... I felt somewhat better on Monday but was still contagious. Monday afternoon we got a call from daycare saying that Caroline was running a 103 degree fever and vomiting.

So this morning started off by taking both babies (just to be sure Carter didn't get it) to the pediatrician. Turns out Caroline does have strep but Carter doesn't (yet). He wrote prescriptions for Amoxicillin for both of them just precautionary for Carter. I spent the day taking care of them. Caroline was mostly sleepy and Carter was a total grouch.

Mom will be here tomorrow with Caroline but Carter and Alex will both be at school...And I'll be back at work :)

Well, that's all for now, it's bedtime!

Love,
E
