“Mom,” said Little Ernie, “my throat kind of hurts.”
“Well, you seem fine, I’m sure you’re throat is just a little dry.”
Sunday
“Mom,” said Little Ernie, “my throat kind of hurts.”
“Well, you still seem fine, I’m sure you’re throat is just a little dry.”
Monday
“Mom,” said Little Ernie, “my throat kind of hurts.”
“Fine. I’ll take you to the doctor.”
And that’s how I ended up at the doctor’s office again (I swear we have LIVED there the last 6 weeks) looking at what looked to me to be a positive pregnancy test. Apparently the quick strep test is of a similar design. This is Little Ernie’s 3rd time having strep in the last 2 months and I am over it. I have swapped out all the toothbrushes at the appropriate intervals, I have disinfected all the door handles and the game controllers. I have tried to enforce a hands off policy with drink sharing (a little difficult considering Max’s penchant for sipping other people’s drinks). Dr. Dumas informed me that if Little E gets strep a 4th time, the entire family will have to come in and get our throats swabbed to see which one of us is the asymptomatic strep carrier unknowingly infecting the world.
I hate strep throat.
