so much for that.

Apparently I spoke to soon, when I noted that we were all 'healthy' in our house.  Friday M was crabby and complaining of a sore throat.  We made it through the day, and just kind of figured it was allergies.  Saturday we woke up to get ready for Race for the Cure (what would have been my 5th!) and he once again noted his throat was really sore.  he also mentioned that he had a headache, and he got cold and had to turn his side of the heated mattress pad on in the middle of the night.  Red flags started going off.  I got him out the thermometer, and sure enough he had a slight fever (only 100.5).  after that I got out the flashlight and checked his throat.  swollen tonsils with white spots.  after much arguing, I convinced him to go back to sleep, which he did for TWO hours.  (besides hating being sick, he hates when I am right...which I usually am)  after that I drug him to urgent care (under much protest).  I knew it was either tonsilitis or strep, and didn't want to take any chances with it being strep.  ha!  after everything else that we have dealt with and been through last few weeks & months, my husband has strep throat.  at that point, all I could do was laugh.  thankfully we went in right away, and he is on antibiotics and on the mend.  That will teach me to brag about how well we are doing though!  that being said, I hope that I don't have to see the inside of a medical establishment (other than my doctors apointments...which, yeah.  not much I can do about that) until it is time to have this baby.  and that will probably be too soon.  post signature
