Still Here
Thanks to all of you who keep checking in here. So far I'm not convinced that Michigan is any better for us, health-wise, than Texas. However, we were healthy in Chicago. I think the answer is clear, don't you?
We're visiting relatives and friends for the holidays, but I think all of my relatives and friends had better stop to consider: Do you REALLY want us in your homes?
Connor has strep. Again. We still get great looks from the receptionists and nurses when we take him in:
Nurse: And what are we seeing you for today?
Me: He has strep.
Nurse: Oh, what are his symptoms?
Me: He's tired, and he talks funny.
Nurse: Ah ... any fever, sore throat?
Me: No.
The nurse thinks "riiiiiiiight," and does the test to humor me. And he always tests positive.
School has become a matter of "Who's sick today?"
But Connor has his drugs, and the rest of us are recovering. I'm going to go clean my house to very loud music, and put lots of positive mental energy towards next week being better.

Hope y'all get to feeling better soon. And for the record, I vote for y'all moving to Chicago. :D

We did a solid year of strep once - it was horrible. You might want to have everyone tested to see if one of you is a carrier - my dh was and he was the one who never got sick. Once we had him treated, the strep cleared up right away for good. Hang in there.

I'm going to go turn up my music really loud and send positive thoughts your way, okay? We'll get an international mojo thing going on.

With my son, it was his breath. I *knew* he had another ear infection. No pulling at his ears, no complaints, no external symptoms. I just knew by the way his breath smelled. After about the 4th or 5th time I called and said he had an ear infection and I could tell because of the smell... they quit making me come in, because I was ALWAYS right.
They'll get used to you. :)

That's how I knew with my oldest, when his voice starting sounding funny.
Hope he gets better quickly!
