Strep Throat.... Grrrr

I knew something was wrong when I picked Landon up from day care yesterday and they said he couldn't stay awake to eat lunch. He ALWAYS eats lunch and isn't much of a napper. So, we went to see Dr. John this morning and it was confirmed.... Landon has strep throat. He was so good during the examination and even the throat swab. He really is a trooper. The doctor said he would need to stay out of day care until Friday so it looks like we will be home for a couple of days. I know all of you Mommies know how awful and heartbreaking it is to have a sick little one. I always feel so helpless. Landon always runs a high fever with strep. It is one of the few ailments that actually makes Landon act "sick". So, he took a good nap after I was finally able to convince him to take his antibiotic (not near as easy as it used to be!!!) And now he is already up and at it again this afternoon. He will need to get rested up for Abigail's first birthday party on Saturday! Try telling him to rest.... it's impossible even when he is sick!
