The Magic Word

So apparently we have strep.....we shall see when the results come in. Kaia and Kienna have both had high grade fevers for the last couple nights......we went in to the doctor today for a regular check up and he was surprised at how bad their throats were. Sigh. We'll see the results.

I have found, with reference to the word strep, that it's a scary word. When people say the word "strep" red lights start flashing and the world ends. You are no longer in one of those positions where you can just go places. You are confined and are quarantined. People don't mess with strep. I don't blame them.....but I've just noticed this. When you have a fever, people are still willing to have your kids play. The same goes with a cold or with other kinds of sicknesses. They figure that they'll get it anyway......so why not? Strep, however, is a top 5 buzz word from what I've found. Anyway, apparently we'll be staying home for the next few days (or at least until the results come in).
