Immunity Failure

Well, we thought that Ivy was gonna make it through this without getting sick. No such luck. Yesterday she was very clingy, wanting to be with us at all times. When it was time to put her to bed, she was hot, so I took her temperature and it was 102. This morning, it was 103, so we kept her home from school. She was pretty miserable all day, so Glenn took her into the doctor in the afternoon. Ivy has been diagnosed with strep throat.

In irony, Rose finished her amoxicillin yesterday, and now Ivy is taking it as well. Having amoxicillin in the house really makes me nervous as it was the first antibiotic that I had an allergic reaction to. That reaction was pretty bad and I spent a full day in bed recovering. I am not sure which I am currently more afraid of, having a reaction to the amoxicillin or getting strep throat and having to take antibiotics myself. Oh well.

In good news, Rose has recovered from the ear infection and the doctor said that they look fine and we don't have to bring her back in three weeks. We just need to keep an eye on everyone to make sure they don't come down with strep. Wish us luck!
