I Am So Sick Of Being Sick

Long story short:
I went in for strep on 11/11 (yeah, I know) and was positive... so I decided to lump it and take the penicillan shot and get it over with....

Well about a month later, I went in again and bingo! strep again. So, I had the kids tested, too. Turns out two of them were harboring strep with no symptoms. So, the three of us were put on antibiotics.

Well, they finished theirs on Christmas Eve and I finished my yesterday.

Over this week, both sons have been feverish and lithargic. I thought it was a virus and didn't think too much of it. They are both fine today... I didn't think anything of it until this afternoon... when my throat started feeling weird again....

So, not wanting to be stuck over a holiday weekend with no doctor, I went to our doctor's after hours clinic. I will spare you the UGLY details of my children's behavior and Nurse Ratchet who was on duty tonight... Turns out my daughter has an ear infection (though she hasn't said a word about not feeling well-- and she would)... They didn't do the quick tests for us, since we've been on antibiotics so recently. They had to do the 24 hour culture. But the nurse said smuggly, "They may not get to your cultures until Tuesday..." (They're only open until 1 tomorrow)... The doctor assured me they would read it tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure my older son has it and I think I will, too. My daughter's on antibiotic for the ear infection...

HS_dad went to the MinuteClinic to get tested... negative.

I just want to kill this thing!!!!!!

Wow...
Family sharing is SOMETIMES a cool thing – lol
But never sicknesses – and I have lectured my kids about that.

I understand your suffering
My family will pray for your family in the am. :)

God bless you.
Ummm… Happy New Year. ;)

Thanks. In bigger families getting rid of stuff is even harder.... carp just goes around and around forever.
