Sorry to hear you went through this Hannah's mommy, it's scary.

not all little red dots in the throat are strep. Its uncommon for kids under 2 (not referring to your own child) but when Nichole had a sore throat (18 months old or so) I took her for hte little red dots in her throat. They tested her for strep just in case (it was negative) but they did test it because of the dots.
I do hope your dd is feeling better today

Thank you. I wouldn't have even looked for the dots. I thought strep would have had white things on the back of her throat. Her teacher just emailed me and said they are dropping like flies in her class. Great.

When my son was little, he spiked high fevers with every virus that came down the pike. Very scary.

I think it gets better when they go off to college and have to be sick on their own. That's only a little more than a decade away, Sha'. I'm lucky: I only have half a decade to go for the second one. Oldest child will go next year if she gets into the school she's applied to. Wish her luck.

It seems that this has been one of the worst seasons for illness. We've been through bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections and all kinds of bugs in between. Ugh.

Hi Texas,
My mom grew up in Houston. I'll second your comments about this season. My 15 yo DD had a sore throat for about two months straight. Poor thing.

Her chorus teacher cancelled a concert for the first time in her career b/c the kids were sick so much that they didn't have time to learn the songs.

The ineffective flu shots didn't help.

Hi back atcha! :-)

To make it worse, this is her first year in preschool so she is exposed to all the cute little peti dishes up there.

They've been shutting schools down here because of all the illness going around.

Oliver is starting to get better I think, but my husband threw up over the weekend and now I feel like I might be getting something.

Is winter over yet?

*Sigh*

That sounds like our house this season.

We seriously have been sick ALL winter. One thing after another.
