It all started Sunday night.......I was able to go to dinner with some old high school friends that I haven't seen in years and got a call from my mom who was watching the kids, "Is Trevor sick?? He is saying that his tummy hurts". He was acting a little lethargic in the morning but I didn't really think much of it. I call her a little while later and he has now thrown up. I leave the restaurant to go pick them up and take them home. He sleeps horrible all night on Sunday and wakes up saying that his neck hurts. I HAD to go to work for a meeting in the morning and then get a sub for the rest of the day to take care of him (TT is at school). We go to the doctor and he does a throat culture and says we will know if it is strep in 48 hours, luckily he gives me amoxycillin to give him just in case. He starts taking it and is a new kid by Tuesday. I go to work Tuesday and feel horrible but I can't take 2 days off, for goodness sakes it is the 2nd week of school and it's not like I have a bunch of sick days-they stole those from me when I had the babies!!!! I come home from school still feeling horrible but waiting for the call to see if it is strep throat. TT looks horrible and by 6:00 she has thrown up 2 times and says her mouth hurts. We all sleep (I guess you can call it that) in my bed and I wake up with the WORST sore throat I have ever had, I literally wanted to chop my whole head off. I call in sick, Trevor goes to school because he is fine, we keep TT home with us and start giving her Trev's medicine because we still haven't gotten the results back and I call my doctor who prescribes me some amoxycillin over the phone. I was a train wreck all day yesterday, THANK GOD Don was off to help with TT and dropping off and picking up Trev. We got the call in the afternoon and they said it was strep throat (which I already knew, because what I had was not just a sore throat) and prescribed some antibiotics for TT! We are all on amoxycillin, minus DON, but I think he is going to take some of mine just to be on the safe side. Kids seem to be much better, I'm better but still pretty sore. I wish I would have called on Tuesday to get my meds and I probably wouldn't of gotten so bad. I guess that is what happens when you have kids.....you forget about taking care of yourself!!! Off to work I go!
p.s. Is it really only THursday???

OMGOODNESS, you guys are like Brandon with the anitbiotics. He never finished his because he wants to save it for the next time he gets sick. YOU NEED TO TAKE IT ALL. hahahah So far we have just the the runny nose. Hope you are all feeling better soon.

Glad your household is feeling better! Why did it take 48 hours to find out that it was strep? They usually just do it right there in the office? That is crazy that you had to wait that long. Don't forget to take acidophilus(sp?) to help get your immune systems all back on track after all of those antibiotics! They make it for munchkins too!
Love, Christy
Glad to hear everyone is feeling better. Let's hope this is as bad as it gets (regarding sickness) this school year. I know about those sick days and how precious they are.
I can't believe the colds and sicknesses have already started. I'm sorry everyone was sick and glad everyone is now feeling better.
