OUR STREP CULPRIT




As I posted several days ago, we have had more strep in this household that you could shake a stick at...Lulu has had it twice (since February) Hubby and I both had it last weekend and wouldn't you know it Lulu started running a fever again last night. Off to the Doctor on a Saturday Morning and of course, she has it again....I mentioned to the Doctor that Baby Boy was yet to get it but had a nasty infected toe that started out as a ingrown toe nail. Doc. inspects the toe and immediately prepares to do a strep test on him. Baby boy was less that thrilled that he was getting a strep test as Sissy's doctors appointment. Keep in mind Baby Boy is fine and dandy and in the process of destroying the doctors office. Well, wouldn't you know it....Baby Boy has strep....So, he is either a carrier or a symptom less child. Either way he is our culprit...He is the one that has been sharing his strep and we did not even realize it. He also has a strep toe. In case you did not realize it, the feet are prime target for strep to venture into and cause a infection. Gross....Now both children are on antibiotics, I finish mine tomorrow and Hubby just opted for the shot last week. Keep your fingers crossed that this will rid our house of this nasty strep....
