Because I know you were all dying to know...Elijah has strep throat again. It has been going around the Catholic school system, and many of the families at our daycare are employed there or have siblings who attend there. So, many of the kids at daycare in turn have been exposed to strep or have had it. Apparently by the time you finish your antibiotic from the first round, someone new has been exposed to the bacteria and then passes it along back to you.

Yesterday was a rough day. Elijah was miserable. He cried a lot. He slept a lot though too. After 3 doses of the new antibiotic, he is definitely turning the corner today. It also helps that Mary went to the sitter today (by her request). So he gets more of my attention.

The weather is fantastic. I mowed the lawn this morning and have plans to maybe work some more in the garden this afternoon. I guess there has to be a plus side to being home with sickies!
