So far we have been extremely blessed when it comes to health and the girls haven't had the normal sicknesses most kids get (RSV at 4 and 2 is pretty old!) and even since starting school last month haven't even had a cold. But on the second day of our thanksgiving visit with my Aunt and Nanny both the girls came down with nasty coughs and by the end of day 2 Aubrey had a lot of discharge coming from one eye! So Saturday (day 2 of being sick) we took her straight over to the after hours clinic our pediatricians offer, Docs on Call, when we got back into town and it turns out she has both Pink Eye AND Strep Throat!! From what I've read you can get pink eye from the strep virus if you touch your eye after coughing into you hand. Then Tuesday night Evelyn started complaining about her ear hurting which turned into screaming and crying...thankfully she was already on antibiotics and by morning she was fine! Fast forward to today (day 6 of being sick) Aubrey's eyes look great and both the girls seem to be back to their energetic selfs tho they both still have coughs.
Thankfully we caught the Strep in time because from what I've read, untreated it can turn into scarlette fever!
