Anytime Bountiful IHC center, anytime you want our money you just let us know. In the past week I have made 5 trips to your lovely complex. 3 allergy shot treatments and 2 separate strep throat visits to instacare.
I was surprised that no one in my family had gotten strep during my two weeks of not knowing I had it. Yesterday around 5:30 Jacob started complaining that he was itching and allergic to something. I thought he was wanting attention because Brandon had just gotten back from his allergy shot. We sat down for dinner and Jacob literally slumped down in his chair and laid down. I asked what was wrong and he said, “my neck is hurting so bad and I am itching everywhere.” I told him to eat dinner and we would figure him out later. As we were having our FHE lesson he started itching everywhere and I watched hives break out all over his face. O.K. lesson over something is up with him. We had planned on going to Target to get the boys valentines for our activity. I think Bryan could see the pain in my eyes of the thought of going BACK to the IHC building so he said I will take Jacob to the Dr. you take the others to Target. So while Brandon, Jonah and I were having a great time at Target, Jacob was tested and confirmed with having strep throat. The hives were a reaction to something he touched or ate, but of course we have no idea what that was, he also got a terrible bloody nose while there. Poor Jacob, he did not have a good night.
My friend Tiffany who NEVER has sick children cannot understand our medical life. Really I do not enjoy sick people nor do I enjoy going to the doctor all the time, but it appears that is our lot in life!
Oh yes and Brandon had quite the reaction to his allergy shot yesterday.

You guys look awful in that picture! Awful, meaning it perfectly sums up the post. And you're right, I don't really understand the medical life of your family, which means I can only sympathize, not empathize with you.
so sad....you all just keep sharing the love
Sorry Mel!
Get well soon! Don't you remember when Tiffany seemed to have strep every other week in high school? I think strep can manifest itself with hives, stomach ache, or headache long before the throat hurts.
That's awful Mel! I am so sorry you are all not feeling well. I don't like when my kids are sick either (don't know a mom that does) and it is even worse when you don't feel well enough to take care of them! If you need dinner let me know! How in the world does Tiff never have her kids sick!? Share the secret Tiff!
Goodness! sorry about your sad week while I was on vaca. If I was here, I would have made you dinner...
