Update on the sick kids...

So I had only posted about Emma on Monday but this week has been a sick week for the kids. Not only was Emma sick (as you can see in the previous post) and didn't break her fever until Tuesday afternoon but her rash still didn't quite go away. It wasn't red anymore but you could still feel it on her skin. Hmmm....cause for concern. The Kayla stayed home sick from school on Tuesday with a fever. She told me about halfway through the day that she was starting to get the rash that Emma got. Hmmm...another cause for concern. But I figured we would just watch her to see what happened since the Dr thought Emma's body was just reacting to fighting off a cold. Then Kayla's throat started to hurt and she wasn't getting much better. We let her go back to school (reluctantly but she basically begged) yesterday. Oops! I got them in to see our actual Dr (we didn't get to see him on Monday) this afternoon and turns out that they have strep! Geez! I also had to take Eli for a couple of skin issues that he has. So we had 3 appts (all together thankfully but paid separately) and left with 3 prescriptions! The good news is that the antibiotic Eli is on will keep him from getting strep!

So my day tomorrow will be spent hanging around the house with the kids while we wait for the antibiotics to have 24 hrs in their system so that they are no longer contagious and hopefully are feeling better!
