At least it was this week and not last week

Hubby made it home Sunday night!! AND he took today off so we could spend some time together. That's the good news.

Wanna know how we spent our day? Taking Belle to the doctor to find out that she has strep....AGAIN!

After her fever spiked to 103.5 last night we took her to her pediatrician where we found out that only 2 weeks after she was diagnosed before and after a round of Amoxicillin, she has strep again! Now we're on Augmentin and have an appointment in 2 weeks to make sure she has a negative test.

I found out from her teacher that 4 kids were out today in her class. I'm convinced there is a strep carrier in her class who is not getting treated and is hacking, coughing, snotting and infecting the other kids. That has to be what's going on! Or maybe not, I don't know!

Poor baby!! Fever keeps spiking up into the 102-103 range. She's living on Motrin and Tylenol, Robitussin and Augmentin. Sore throat, coughing, headache, belly ache.

So much for hubby and wifey time together, but it did make Bellie feel better to have us both with her today. And we did get to hang out which I missed last week.

Wonder how long it will be before I find out either Hayden, Andy or I have developed strep. Keep your fingers crossed for me/us.

Poor Belle! Strep is NO fun. That is a definite perk of homeschooling - avoiding all of the germs that go around at school. Hunter and I have been sicker this year than in years past because we've been going to the Learning Rx center....we've gotten the same germs spread at schools since school kids and their siblings come there. But, so far, no strep.
Hope this is the end of it for y'all.

I hope Belly feels better soon. I hate it that she got it again! That stinks. Hopefully you and the main man will get a night out together soon.
