Sick, Yet Again

Sunday morning started off early, since we lost an hour (who likes to lose an hour of sleep anyway?). Addison was not herself. She refused breakfast, selecting to lay on the sofa and watch the news. Really? She felt warm, complained of a sore throat, but refused all medicine. At noon, and several little catnaps later, I took her temp to find it at 104! Really?! So, Motrin later, she went to bed.

After her nap, she was a little better, walking around outside with Pippa while I cleaned out the van a bit. But, as the Motrin wore off, so did Addison. Back to the couch she went and stayed all night.

About 6, Alivia, who had been playing with friends all day, started to complain of a sore throat, too. Well, she did not have an elevated temperature, so I was hoping she just wanted to stay home from school.

That is until 4 AM. Alivia and Addison both woke crying, complaining of sore throats, hot with fevers.

This morning, a visit to the Doctor found they both had strep throat. Alivia had nausea and vomiting by this point along with her dreary, teary, quite miserable self.

At least we know what it is, something Omnicef can fix (Alivia is allergic to PCNs). I am hoping they can return to school by tomorrow noon, maybe Wednesday at the latest. Grandma Bet is coming in the morning so I can go to this foot Dr without having 3 sick kiddos to suffer along with me.

Let's hope we are all on the mind, at least for a while.

Nothing better than being sick and watching movies.
