It's Started Already....

I think since the second week of school, one if not both older kids have been bringing home slips stating that they may have been exposed to strep.  As you all know that's a not a favorite word in this house!!  So I was not suprised on Friday to get a call from daycare that Derek was running a temp.  He slept rather well that night but in the morning was still running a fever, so we made the trek to Decorah.  Diagnosis: left ear infection and possible strep.  Thank goodness the doctor didn't see that it was needed to swab the poor baby!  We spent the majority of the weekend snuggled in the house. Two days and antibiotics later, we are doing much better!!  Now, if those teeth would just give him a break!!  Derek is at 22 lb 14 oz and about a week shy of his first  birthday.  I know I say it alot but time really flies!!
