Well, I went back to the Dr. yesterday. He didn't end up doing another strep test. But, he did give me a stronger antibiotic. He said if I keep having problems with this, I may have to go see an ENT Dr. and talk about getting my tonsils out! I'm 26 years old! Isn't this something they usually do to kids? My oldest daughter had hers out when she was 6.
I have never been put under anesthesia for anything before. I really don't want to have to have them removed, but if it will keep me from getting strep throat so often, I may just have to do it!
Anyway, my friend A got sent home, no baby yet! Right now she is scheduled to be induced next Monday if she hasn't had the baby by then. That would actually make it convienient for me though if she waits until Monday, cause then I could make one trip to the hospital on Tuesday to see her and my new nephew!

Strep is the worst! I hope you feel better :)!
I'm surprised they haven't sent you to an ENT before, considering you get strep 1 or 2 times every year.
I'd say that you might as well get those tonsils out...it would be a great excuse to eat ice cream all day after they are out!
Btw, I hope A's baby doesn't come this week since our doctor is on vacation! What a pain to see the same doctor for an entire pregnancy just to have someone else deliver the baby.
Yeah, that's what happened to me with the boy. I saw the same Dr. for all 3 pregnancies, she delivered the first 2 and then I ended up being delivered by a different Dr. for #3 because Dr. F wasn't scheduled to come on hospital duty for another hour and a half! (Well, that was one long run-on sentence!)
But, since I worked for the practice, I kinda already knew him, so it wasn't too bad.
Go Oct. 23rd babies!
