Such a Sweet Little Boy!

First of all I want to give a big bloggy "Thank you" to Miranda. On Monday she called me and was telling me that her little girl Gracie was sick and had to go to the doctor. Then, she did it. She casually remarked, "I can't believe that none of your family has been sick lately." Thanks for jinxing us! That was Monday, and by Tuesday night I was sitting in Pri-med with a raging case of strep throat. Fun...

So I had a mandantory day off from work yesterday, and after cleaning up our office most of the morning, I made a strawberry cake yesterday afternoon. After Jackson got home from school I let him help me make the icing and he was hilarious!! He kept saying, "I did it!" over each little step, and let me just tell you how much that kid loved the icing. I gave him one of the mixers and he went to town! Then he just had to try a piece of cake before he went to church.

Just like his Mommy...he loves icing!

Let's see how clean I can get this thing...

You know something is really yummy when you have to lay out in the floor to eat it!

Jackson ready to dive into the cake!

Jackson loving his cake! Isn't he sweet!

Did you know???

Jeremy, as reported yesterday, has had a very sore throat for a few days now. He had been on an antibiotic since his cabbage cutting incident almost 2 weeks ago. When he went to go get his stitches removed, he had the nice nurse do a throat swab to see if he had strep throat. It was negative. That was Saturday. The nurse assured him that his antibiotic, Keflex, would cover him if he had been exposed to my strep.

Well, did you know that Keflex can make a positive strep test show up as negative. Jeremy's Dad and I convinced Jeremy to go to Pri-Med last night because he was still so sick. After waiting almost 4 hours...diagnosis...Strep Throat. Shocker there!!! The doctor knew that the test turned out negative, but he said that there was no doubt, based on looking at Jeremy's throat that he had strep. Jeremy just knew that I was going to have a big "I told you so" when he got home. I did...but I tried not to make him feel too bad.

So, consider yourself warned...Keflex=false negative for strep test.
