Not So Super

I realize I'm a bit behind in posting the Hoy Fam activities so these events are a little dated.  Not this past Friday but the Friday before that (Friday of Super Bowl Weekend), I woke up with a fever and my throat was on fire.  I decided to stay home from work and try and sleep it off.  Mike took Lily to daycare and I was able to sleep until 11:30.  When I finally got out of bed, I noticed my throat was coated in nasty white spots - I was certain I had strep.  I called the doctor and scheduled an appointment for later in the afternoon.  Not five minutes after I got off the phone with them, daycare called to tell me Lily had a fever of 102 and I was going to have to pick her up.  So I called the doctor back and told them I was bringing her in with me...two for one deal.  I was diagnosed with strep (pretty sure it's been at least five years since I've had that!) and Lily was diagnosed with a double ear infection.  The doctor assured me that babies under two don't typically contract strep since their glands/tonsils aren't fully developed until then.  And fortunately for Mike - unfortunately for me - he was scheduled to work two 12s Saturday and Sunday.  So Lily and I pumped ourselves full of antibiotics and hunkered down on the couch all weekend by ourselves.  I can honestly say I've never had a worse weekend.  Thankfully by Super Bowl Sunday we were both feeling a little bit better.
