Sick babies

I hope this isn't the start to a sick winter. Both girls have already been pretty sick. First it was Kennedy, she kept getting a tempeture of 102-104 so I finally took her in. The doc thought it was strep but because her throat was so raw he decided not to test her for strep and just treat her for it. It was almost a week before she got better. Maddy was so good with her.


Then just as Kennedy was getting better, Maddy started not feeling well. She was giving us a hard time about eating, and then she started saying her throat hurt. Then her lips started getting sores on them. Kennedy had fever blisters from when she was sick but these were bigger and nastier looking. Took her in, she tested negative for strep. Doc said it was probably a adnoid virus that mimicks strep but it lasts 10 days. And it did, it was a long 10 days. By the end her lips and mouth were covered in canker sores. I felt horrible for her.
Kennedy took her turn caring for Maddy. Both are better now, hoping that was their one time sick for the year.
