dec 15 fifth strep victim
by noearlybird

It's been a week. Kid above had strep in October. Another kid had it end of November and finished her ten-day course of meds on Tuesday of this week on the very same day that three of the others were stricken with strep germs. Kid above had a 101 temp this morning. Went back to the doctor's office of which I have been taking many pictures of something for this assignment, hoping that no one would wonder why the heck I am doing this.

Had an interesting conversation with the doctor about treating bacterial/viral infections, insurance issues, adoption and more.

Doctor's office has all these rooms where the decor is centered around a children's book. We were in the "Bad Case of the Stripes" room. Neat colors.

Kid above ran a temp of 104 after coming home. I was waving the white flag, did you see me? Didn't get a pic. (This pic has legs and hand cut-off, didn't bring the 10-22, but the 28-135 always performs for me.)

The oldest kid, 29 on Monday got it too. The ONLY person in my family who has not got it is me.
The title should actually read "sixth" victim.

I like her expression and the color of the wall. Looks like she's taking it okay. I hope it's over soon.
