The Ugly Bug

The ugly bug keeps attacking Mikayla.  The ugly bug being the STREP bug.  Mikayla has had strep throat 4 times this year already.  3 times since April.  Wednesday she was diagnosed with strep once again and spent 2 days home from school.  She is only 4 weeks into the school year and has already missed 2 days.  This isn't good.  The doctor said there is a rule that if a child gets strep back to back or 4 times within a calendar year that they have to see a specialist.  Tomorrow we are going to see the specialist to see what they recommend.  I think she is going to have to have her tonsils removed.  5 years ago when her adenoids were removed we were told the tonsils were large, but they thought it was due to the adenoids being so infected.  Every visit to the doctor I hear how big her tonsils are.  We will see.  One thing for sure, the ugly bug must die.  Mikayla can't keep getting sick like this.
