poor girl.

M woke up this morning with a rash covering her body. she stayed home from school yesterday because she had a sore throat and runny nose, and last night before bed she was fevered and not feeling well. when i seen her this morning i noticed the rash on her cheeks and hands. i looked in her throat and. . nasty!! there are big white sores all over her throat, and she has canker sores on her lips. i thought for sure she couldn't have strep because she just finished amoxicillin on Monday. so i took her into the doctor, and he had her tested for strep AND mono. both tests came back negative, but he gave her a prescription for a different antibiotic to see if it would help. he thinks everything may just be caused from a virus. what the???? i feel like my house must not be clean enough. i have seriously been the queen of clorox wipes, lysol, and washing my hands. i literally was scrubbing the bathroom floors and walls Monday morning at 3 am. B had gotten sick in the night, and when he didn't make it to the toilet to throw up, it splattered all over the walls. what a mess! i didn't have a choice, though. i knew that if i let it wait until morning it would just be that much harder to clean up. so i got him settled down and back in bed, then threw the rugs in the washer and started scrubbing. i was actually back in bed by 4:10, but it took me a while to get back to sleep. all of these illnesses must be coming home from school. every week it's something different. if i could just get these youngest two to keep their hands clean and out of their mouths! in the last month, i have had kids staying home two or three days a week. M has missed atleast one day of school a week for the last four weeks. 'tis the season, hu??
