Strep Throat

This morning I woke up and I knew I would not be able to take care of the girls because I was feeling so bad. Dave was getting ready for work and I asked if he could get the day off. He had to go in and conduct a meeting but he said he would be home before the girls got up. When I got up, Dave told me that Emily was acting kind of sluggish and that she felt really warm. We made her a doctor's appointment and Dave took her to get a check-up. They tested her for strep throat and she tested positive so Dave called me and told me I should go to the doctor as well. I made an appointment and the doctor took a strep test but the results won't come back until tomorrow. I am glad to finally know what Emily has and now she can get better. She has had a cough for a couple of weeks, but she has acted fine, so I thought she was just getting over a cold. I am glad Dave said he would take her to the doctor and that they had an opening today to see her. The doctor said she will be contagious until Friday, but after that she will just be recovering. I am not sure what I have, but the doctor gave me a prescription in case I have strep and a prescription if it is just a bad cold. Please pray for us. None of us want to be sick so close to Christmas and it is stressful wondering if Ally will catch it.
