If it's October, it must be strep

Every October through March since Jilly was born she has been sick....repeated sinus, ear and throat infections have kept her resistance low and my sanity questionable. It is hard to train as a serious athelete if you run a feer once week.

Today she has a fever, sore throat, stuffy head and stomach ache. Tomorrow she has an early morning doctor's appointment. We know the drill by now. Her coaches were afraid this would happen again.

She was supposed to get her new floor routine tomorrow. It will probably have to wait now. But I"m not going to let this bring me down too much. We will keep our eyes on the bigger picture, the fuller meaning, and try to remember that the lost days won't matter in the long run.

My goal: Try to find out a way to prevent strep from reoccuring!
