Dear Strep Throat & Scarlet Fever, I am breaking up with you…

April 7, 2014 · Leave a Comment

As you can read from my title of this post we are sick. Several weeks ago we had strep and scarlet fever in our home for the first time. My 7 year old son was the first to get it. Two weeks later I got it. We got over it and sweet girl who {as she would say almost 6} didn’t get it. I thought we were in the clear. My son had a horrible rash everywhere no fever or sore throat just the rash and headache. I however, had the classic strep throat that felt like you were swallowing razor blades. We survived like all families do even with this horrible looking bright red rash everywhere.

Fast forward to the last week and a half, sweet girl flares up with this crazy rash! Two strep test negative but she wasn’t getting better. So I took her again and the strep test was negative in the office but was sent to the labs. Wouldn’t you know Thursday evening I get a call that it is strep and scarlet fever and we need to start antibiotics.

This morning, four days later, my son wakes up with a stomach ache and headache so I immediately got a dr. appt and we test positive for strep including myself. So we are all three at home going through strep together and hopefully fighting it for real. I have stripped everything in our house again, cleaned like a mad woman, sanitized everything, and lots of TLC to the little ones. We can hopefully go back to school Wednesday but until then strep and scarlet fever, I am breaking up with you to spend time with my babies. Time not rushing in the morning and just enjoying the innocence of children.

After opening our bottle of antibiotic for the second child today I know things are looking up!

Chalkola + Birthday

We celebrated our sweet girl turning 12 years old! She loves all things horses, rainbows, and farm animals. I loved being able to spoil her with her favorites for the day. Riding horses, horse and rainbow cake, family time, pizza, and this adorable Chalkola Chalkboard. I am not an artist but the Chalkola brand chalk […]

His Love

This world is full of sorrow and suffering and death. But thankfully, this world isn’t it for us. Because of God’s greatest gift of salvation, we have the hope of the world to come, where there is no suffering and peace surpasses everything.  The storms that are raging and crashing all around us….will stop. That sickness […]
