Strep, Croup, Alley-Oop

If our wedding anniversary were not in February, I swear I would try to find a way to skip the whole damn month. Bad stuff always goes down in February. Freakin' day care.

Logan has strep throat. Poor little guy. He was miserable last night. There was a strep case in his class recently, so rather than wait a few days to see if his fever diminished, we decided to take him to see Dr. P this afternoon. Strep is so painful. I'm glad we went in...we have a course of antibiotics and he should be feeling more comfortable by tomorrow.

Not to be outdone, Oliver woke up from his nap this afternoon with croup. Scariest cough ever...especially when your baby was previously attached to an oxygen tank. They worked Oliver in to Logan's appointment (I promised we would not make this a habit) so we didn't have to wait too long to see if he was having serious problems. His oxygen was fine, huge relief. And he doesn't have a fever. So we came home with reassurances he'll be OK and instructions to keep him hydrated.

Sigh.
