4th of July.... and strep

Well, Happy 4th of July!!!
Our weekend has been interesting to say the least. We started out by saying good bye to our Pastor on Sunday (we didn't do anything on saturday). I tried hard not to cry but it didn't work. The short time we got to know Pastor Paul was wonderful. He always said hi to us when we walked in to church. The girls took to him as well and are sad to see him go.
Sunday afternoon we drove to Sioux Falls to hang out with my parents. At night we went to a family friends house for a bbq and fireworks. I was a little worried at how Nolan would do with the loud noises. He did fine until the older kids did like a whole huge round of firecrackers. Nolan was a sleep at the time, but not after that. I should have been more worried about Chloe then Nolan. Chloe hated the loud noises.. she covered her ears and cried.
Oh, back up to Friday a second. Ellie was complaining in the evening of a sore throat. I took her temp and it was 100. So I gave her some Tylenol and just watched her. Saturday morning at 4:30am I checked Ellie again and her temp was 101. I took her to the dr and they did a strep test, which came back positive. So we started our holiday with a sick child.
Sunday after the fireworks, which were great, we came back to my parents at 11pm. Chloe had been complaining of varies different aches. She said her throat hurt and her bottom and her ears. Well, she woke up in the middle of the night with a fever. So I gave her some medicine and she went to sleep. Its a holiday so there are no clinics open, but I hope its just a sore throat and not strep. I've been giving her Ellie's meds, which I know is wrong, but I would rather stop it before it gets too bad and since they are both feeling better now I think I've accomplished that.
We are going to be in Sioux Falls til Tuesday( the kids and I) since I have a dr appt tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!!!
