Strep Throat Sickies!

Unbelievable, inconceivable...
We did it again. All 3 munchkins had strep throat again the week of Christmas.
Last year it was contracted on the 23rd (Grant), 24th (Gabriel) and 25th (Gavin). This year it was the 20th (Grant), 21st (Gavin) and 22nd (Gabriel). Now while I can say the timing was better, it is still HORIBBLE, WEIRD and AWFUL. They all were 102-104 in fevers and didn't/couldn't eat. So...
I medicated them with Motrin and Tylenol (stubborn fevers) to get their fevers down to 100 and had them take antibiotics. Also they would only eat soft stuff ~ jello, pudding and popsicles. Oh, and the flashlight was used to check throats and the yogurt maker going to help them get good probiotics after antibiotic. A sorry bunch! Needless to say we watch a lot of Dora and read book after book.
