Sick Day

We won't have confirmation until tonight when we go to see the doctor, but it looks like Logan has strep throat. He's got classic symptoms - very sore throat, fever, but no other symptoms of head cold or post-nasal drip, plus he has this fine red rash all over his body that is consistent with Scarlet Fever. Sounds scary but according to the Internet that just means his body is having a reaction to the toxins produced by the strep bacteria, and it's no more serious than regular strep.

Anyway, what do most kids do when they stay home sick? Watch TV, right? Here's a picture of Logan's morning sick activity. He got out his dad's calculator and did some math problems. OK, so he did finally ask for TV, but only after he'd added up to 2048 ("Mom, a new record!")

UPDATE: The Dr. took one look at Logan's rash and confirmed it was strep. So he'll take antibiotics for 10 days and that should be the end of that. Now we just have to hope no one else in the family gets it!
