Strep Throat

I had to wright a quick post about our day.

My kids have been sick off and on for the last week. Malachi was sick on Friday then better this week. Abby was a bit sick on Friday but was worse this week so I made her a Doc. appointment thinking Kye was ok. At dinner last night Kye said "my mouth is better but my neck hurts right here if you touch it". When he turned his head his neck had a huge lump right over that gland thingy. I hated to do it but I asked the doc to check out both kids today. He was sure Abby had strep before he even got the results back. So they swabbed Kye too. Both positive results meant "S-H-O-T-S". So we separated them. While Kye was distracted in the lobby we did Abby. She cried a bit but didn't put up much of a fight. When Malachi came back in the room Abby told him she got a shot. That was all Kye had to hear for the tears to start rolling. Abby stopped crying and started to laugh when the nurse took Kye's temp. She said "now you have to get one" I told her "shhh don't tell him that" she laughed and said "I think it hilarious" She sat in the chair while Sam the nurse and myself held kye down with all of our might. Malachi yelling Stupid nurse the whole time when we finally freed him he hit that stupid nurse. I was mortified but she just laughed. Malachi was still having a fit as Abby happily walked out with 2 balloons and a promise of ice cream. As we got in the car Sam pointed out the fact "Abby is a girl and she is fine aren't you tough?" "NO I'm not" Kye yelled back. Abby laughed "it wasn't that bad" she said rolling her eyes. She went on and on laughing and teasing the poor boy "I think it's hilarious that I get to have 2 balloons and you are still crying". She was ruthless with him and this made Abby laugh even harder. So for all of you out there who think Abby looks so sweet and girlie think again she is tough!
