We have been able to avoid the hospital this time around.  Of course I think it was more stressful to have her home in some ways.  Meds every 3 hours around the clock and extra fluids didn’t allow for much rest on my part.  We did take her to the pediatrician with her sister yesterday.  Kaitlyn tested positive for strep, so she and Sarah were both put on antibiotics.  They seem to be much better today, though Sarah has a bit of congestion still.  The two of them should be back in school by the end of the week.

 Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.  It has been a crazy September here in the Handy house.  Each girl took turns taking a week to be sick, then Sarah and Kaitlyn get sick together this week.  Sarah has missed so much school that they are getting a tutor for her.
