After Ana's fever spiked 103 today, we were off to the doctor who confirmed that she had strep throat.
I was a bit surprised, given that Ana's last experience with strep was more dramatic, and painful.
But at least this is treatable. We've got the antibiotics which taste "terrible" appararently and make her want to spit them out. She'll be back at school by Wednesday.
Elliot was back to normal by last night, and I had the doc swab my throat as a precaution.
Strep=no threat to pregos.
Yeah!

Los Pininos
We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves.
I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles.
I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives.
We are Los Pininos.
To the rescue!

Did your throat feel scratchy when you did the culture?? I've never had strep and trying to figure out if it's worth trying to see a doctor... ugh!!!
When I dropped off Kate this morning, I was surprised that more kids weren't home sick. Were Ana and Will the only kids with strep??!!
The swabbing was wierd but quick. I just had Ana's pediatrician stick it back there. I think if you have strep, you'll know all too soon.
Ana started having symptoms on Saturday, and we kept her home until Wednesday, so I was really hoping that no one else would get it from our end. I wonder if it was only our two?
