Not a great week at the Tanner house
It was a crazy week last week! I woke up last Sunday and just knew I had strep. I went in and tested negative, but they said they'd send the test off to recheck. They said they'd call by 12 on Monday if I did have it. No word, and by Tuesday I was still feeling bad, so I went to the dr. and had them test for H1N1-negative. They said I had a fever virus and pharyngitis. Then about 6:30 that night the pharmacist called and said, "Sorry for the delay, but you do have Strep. By that point with no antibiotics I had really exposed myself to the girls. Frances came home Tues with a bad cold, but no fever or sore throat. (I had just taken her to the dr Thurs to see if she had a sinus infection and she just had a cold-no ear infection either). I kept her home Wed and Thurs hoping that she would be over her cold so we could go out of town on Friday. Libby started running fever Thurs morning, so I took her to the dr and she had strep. Frances started running fever Thurs night, and I took her in Friday. She had strep, a double ear infection, and H1N1! Poor thing! By Friday afternoon, she was feeling a lot better, and she hasn't had any fever since Friday. I'm so glad she had such a mild case. We did actually have a lot of fun this week doing crafts and playing games. I hated the girls were sick, but it was fun having them both home this week.
