Believe it or not, we had a decent run of not having to run to the pediatrician's office every other day. Key word - had. Sloane has been not quite herself for a few days and has been doing a fair amount of coughing so I took her in Friday afternoon and was happy to be told it seemed like just a cold.
Saturday morning Sloane promptly launched herself over a toy and into the corner of the coffee table. As this particular hit was awfully close to her eye, it was back to the pediatrician. Her eye turned out to be fine, but we discovered she had developed a fever since her visit 18 hours before and she promptly tested positive for strep.
Being the smart parents we are, we kept Erin and Sarah in the car while Sloane was in the doctors' office - don't want to expose them to any nasty bugs, right? Well, as Matt came out with Sloane and her prescription, we went to pick up something out of Sarah's car seat and saw that within the previous 10 minutes she developed hives all over her extremities and torso. Commence putting Sloane into her car seat and carrying Sarah into the pediatrician's office. Um, yup - Strep.
So far Erin has come through this one like a champ. She's dealing with her own issue in that her best friend is leaving school - and this is compounded by the fact that her friend's mom is her teacher and is also leaving. I still remember at 4 when my best friend moved to Washington, so I really feel bad for our little bean - but she's being a trooper.
