The strep is spreading throughout the family, but all too slowly. I wish we could just get it over with already. Olivia's strep spread to Avery. Then I contracted it, and now I'm certain Ashlie has it. I hope Alex, Rob and my dad are able to avoid it, but if they're going to get it I wish they'd all get it at once and be done with it!
I am so grateful for antibiotics, as I've seen the dramatic and quick turn-around in our health this week once antibiotics were taken. Unfortunately, they've been hard to get. I've always heard that once one person in a household got strep, the others should be able to get antibiotics without having to be seen by a doctor. In addition to several doctor visit copays and prescription costs, Avery and I both had to be seen at InstaCare, so health costs will hit our pocketbook hard this month.
On a positive note: There's nothing like being sick to make one grateful for one's health!
Added April 22: Rob did end up getting strep, in fact he also got a mild case of tonselitis! He was in bed for several days, which is really unusual for him!
