“Mom, this germ is what is making my throat hurt!” Devon’s been telling me for about 2 weeks off and on that his throat hurts, but besides that, he has had no fever and has acted like normal! He drew this picture on Friday and told us that was the germ that was hurting his throat. It wasn’t until Sunday that he acted like he really had strep. And he did. I feel bad thinking about all the many people we probably got sick! I truly am sorry if you are one of them, or your kids. I just couldn’t believe that there were no other signs until then! But I think it’s totally cute that he drew a picture of the germ.

When Nathan was little he would say his "neck" hurt and I didn't know for the longest time that is was really his throat!

Did you take that picture in to show the doctor to confirm? So cute!

Oh, poor kid. I actually did that to Gweny last week. She kept telling me her "froak hurks" (she can't say the "t" sound..hee hee) It took me a week to get her to the doctor. It was her only symptom too. Weird.
