outbreak!

Lynn's quick trip to S. A. with the boys ended up being the trip from hell. It was fraught with gastrointestinal pyrotechnics while there and on the way back home too. Once the guys made it home both boys were running fevers.

Caleb's fever subsided this morning and he seems fine. Logan's fever spiked last night to 104.7 so we promptly plunked him into a cool bath and dosed him with tylenol. He looked a like he had a bit of a sunburn too so I googled his symptoms only have SCARLET FEVER pop up first on list. Scarlet Fever sounds so ominous. Big, scary words that can be substituted at random with STREP THROAT. We made a quick visit to the pediatrician where they swabbed Logan's throat and confirmed what Google had told me. Strep throat and a gigantic double daily dose of amoxicillin. With the first dose of meds Logan's fever went away completely and he proclaims himself "not sick" anymore.

Now, if only I could do the same...crap. My sinuses are flaring up big time...Spring MUST be in the air around here.
