Strep Throat

We have our first go-round of strep at the Morgan house. Isaac complained of a "sour throat" Monday and looked a little off, but we sent him off to school and told his teacher he wasn't feeling the greatest. I kept my phone handy while at work, expecting to get a call from school. But no call came. As I was wrapping up work, I decided to call daycare, thinking I could have him swabbed for strep in the clinic, if needed. My original plan was to work out, but didn't want to have to go to urgent care later. Long story short, I had him swabbed and he was positive. The clinic pharmacy was closed, so I dropped the kids off at home with Eddy and headed to Target. An HOUR later, and I finally had the prescription.

Eddy was headed down to the Metrodome for his team's season opener on Tuesday, so that meant I stayed home with the kids. Isaac perked up quite a bit. But, all day I considered getting Piper tested, but couldn't nail down any symptoms. However, we are supposed to get a major dumping of snow tomorrow and if she was positive and not treated until later in the day, she'd have to stay home on Thursday.

So, back in to the clinic we went later in the day on Tuesday. And....she's positive. So glad I brought her in. The clinic pharmacy was open, so it only took 7 minutes to get the prescription.

We had supper in the basement and are watching Princess And The Frog.
