Sophia and Andrew Get Strep Just in Time for Disney

Andrew was running a fever in the 101.5 range on Sunday, so we called the hematologist on call at U of M Hospital, who advised us to go to the emergency room at Beaumont yet again. They did the same tests on Andrew they have done in the past. Everything came back negative and his blood counts were high, so they sent him home.

Andrew's fever persisted intermittedly on Monday, and he started complaining of a sore throat every now and again. Sophia started getting a fever and showed signs of having pink eye, which Andrew and Madeline had a few weeks back. The fevers continued today, and Andrew's got up to 103.5 today, so we called U of M again today, who told us to see our pediatrician. After checking the two of them out, he determined that they both have strep.

He gave them bith antibiotics, and said they should be fine and not be contagious within 48 hours. That's good, because our flight leaves for Disney World in 72 hours. Madeline has not complained about feeling sick as of yet. Should be an interesting few days befor we leave.
