Becca has had more cases of Strep throat over the last several years to count. She gets it in every possible way too. Rash, Throat, etc. She is a carrier. The last bout was a doozey. She spiked a fever of 104 and was miserable and in pain. I took her to the Take Care Clinic at Walgreens and they said she had strep, a pretty nasty case of it. They put her on Antibiotics both orally and a nasal ointment. I called the Dr a few days later to report yet ANOTHER case of strep and they advised me it was time to see an ENT. We went this morning and with just a quick look he said not only do her tonsils have to come out but her adenoids too. He believes she may suffer from sleep apnea as well because her tonsils are pretty big and she complains of fatigue a lot. I was hoping to wait until the summer but he said we really should do it now. He said she will be perfectly healed for the cruise in April and will be as good as new. She will miss a week of school and is banned from any physical activities for 3 weeks. She is not too upset about missing PE. She is my child after all! She is scheduled for March 4th and I am a bit of a nervous wreck but I am sure it will all work out fine.
