We're on the mends!!!

The Howard house has once again been struck with strep only difference was this time it hit us HARD! Gavin and I were hit first. Grayson fell ill about 48 hrs later and bad. He was febrile and started getting a rash on his chest, neck and trunk. We took him to the dr and of course has a positive strep culture and beginnings of scarlet fever from strep. YIKES! I didn't even know what that was, I had to google scarlet fever and then I got worried, however with his new antibiotics and motrin we got through it. We stayed home for 6 days and did lots of puzzles, coloring, art projects and snuggling. Unfortunately not alot of sleep was achieved, but nonetheless we are all better. G&G went back to school today and I stayed at the house to be on call and scrub the house with lysol! I am returning to work tomorrow. Even though this was a difficult time we all got through it and spent some good times getting through it together. Greg, AKA Mr Immunity, didn't get hit with strep (yet!) and has been fantastic. He took good care of us. He even had his 39th bday this weekend with an unwelcomed guest. I love you Greg!!
