Little man is not feeling good....:(

I did not get to my blog this weekend, had way to much going on I think.....My son was not feeling good at all his throat was killing him.  Doesn't it make you sad when your kids get sick you feel so helpless sometimes.  He had no fever so I thought just maybe sore throat, however when I got him to open his mouth and I took a look at his tonsils they were all white and clearly infected.  Of course a trip to the Dr. confirms he does have strep throat.  Now to keep him away from the other two so they don't get sick for at least for 24 hours he is still contagious.  The best medicine to take when his throat is hurting is Children's Advil, it last up to 8 hours and he feels so much better once he takes it. I wanted to share a little tip I read on a medical journal about strep throat.  It is good practice to buy a new toothbrush after being diagnosed with an infection.  If  you continue to use the same toothbrush sometimes the bacterial can still live within the toothbrush.  Once I read this I was off to buy a new toothbrush for all of us.  Any tip to help keep us all healthy is a great tip.  

That's life when you have children it throws you a few curve balls once in a while.  This curve ball is one that will be all better within a few days.  The hardest challenge is having to work when caring for a sick child. I don't want to sound like I am complaining but I guess I am complaining.  Why not, we all complain.  I have stuff to complain about being a parent I am sure we all do.
