Ford Family Health

Well, Hello! Just wanted to update you on the Ford family health...we all have STREP!! Yep, Strep! I got sick on Sunday--felt HORRIBLE!! Still felt bad on Monday--could not get out of the bed for 2 days--but you know, I had to at some points to do my motherly duties--luckily, the kids went to school that morning-came home, we all napped until 6--and they ate, gave them a bath, and then back to bed we all went!! Tuesday, was better, throat was still a little sore--was thinking just had a bad cold--Wednesday, I decided to take Mackenzie in to check her runny nose issues--Freeman had changed all her allergy medicine & was not working-(Now we are testing Singular) -and she tested positive for strep-I told them, if her results were + to come and test Davis b/c he probably had it too (although he had No runny nose, fever, or any symptom at all) and yep, he had it too, plus double ear infections--so now we are back to the whole ear infection thing with Davis-we will be reevaluated in 4 wks & if still not clear--off to the ENT we go...So, today, I decide, although, I am feeling lots better, except my voice is scratchy and my throat is sore that I must have strep--so I call to get a doctor's apt & can't see anyone until Monday-I call Ellen and she told me to just let Freeman check me out--Yep, I am a new patient of their's now (31 and I use my Pediatrician as my primary doctor)...so I went and had the whole swab thingy done (and now I see why the kids cry-it is kinda uncomfortable-but not too worry- I did not cry) and sure enough, Kristy (the nurse) comes in and says, "Shea, honey, you are eat up with that stuff!" (meaning STREP! ) So, now we are all on antibiotics--man, that is going to be a job keeping up with all this medicine stuff for the next 10 days--hopefully, we have not infected Bubbs & that we will all be well soon! And a BIG apology to all those we might have infected!! :( To Healthier Days....from our family to yours! :)
