Strep?

I picked Caden up from school Tuesday and the first thing he told me is that he was on blue. Boo. His teacher asked me if we had been busy because he was tired that day. Hmm. When we got home and I asked Caden why he was on blue he said it was because he kept putting his head down on his desk and trying to sleep. What?! You should not be that tired. Sure enough when I felt his head he was warm. I got lucky and was able to get him seen by the doctor that afternoon. He had already been on antibiotic for an ear infection. His left tube was coming out and his ear got clogged with earwax and caused an infection. Yuck. I thought our days of ear infections were over. Now we have to try and get the earwax out. Fun stuff. Anyways I thought it was odd he would run a fever when he was already on medicine. But sure enough he tested positive for strep. She said the same thing that he probably should not have it already being on antibiotic. But the test does not lie so we got a stronger antibiotic.

So today is day 2 of no school. Not that Caden is complaining. Lol. Hopefully he will be better before opening day Saturday for t-ball. I have not been a very good mom the past two days. The only downside to working from home is I don't really get sick days. So I have let the kids pretty much do what they want while I work. Which for Caden means computer time. He loves games and I have to monitor his time closely. He played so much yesterday I think his eyes were crossing. Oh well, I guess I won't get mom of the year. Lol

On another funny note we went to my mom and dad's the other night. I was playing around and showing Paige my wedding dress. I even tried it on. Did it fit? No way! Lol. I have a new goal now. I want to zip that sucker up by the end of summer. Paige said I looked like a ghost. What? Not a princess, but a ghost. Oh well, I still love my wedding dress. Already very outdated but it was perfect for me.
