The domino effect

Oh, will it ever end? With having 5 kids, they bring every virus home. Do you think they would all get sick at the same time so that they could all get well at the same time? NO. We have different viruses for different kids. It is the domino effect. One has strep. So, we watch dilligently for any other signs that someone else is getting sick. One has the stomache bug. This one has been circling our house for weeks now. One gets it, they get well, then another gets it. Hubby has a cold. I have the stomache bug and Aunt Flo (nice, thank you) at the same time. UGH. Now, the baby is running a fever.
Ok, so which does she have? I don't know yet. Since she can't (or won't) talk, it could be a) teething - she does run fevers when she teeth's and she should be getting her I teath anytime now) b) stomache bug - she is moaning and groaning alot or c) strep throat. So if it is a or b, there is no need to go to the dr, but if she does have c I should go immediately so that we can kill this infection quick. So, what is a mom to do? I don't know, I guess I will just have to watch her closely tomorrow am and if she seems to cry alot and she still has the fever, off to the dr we go. When will it be over? Probobly during Christmas break when they are away from school. The domino effect, gets us every time!
