Isabel showing me her "sore froat".This weekend poor Milo had his first case of strep throat. Unfortunately, since his last procedure in October, he's taken the 5th ammendment whenever I ask him if he's feeling okay or if anything hurts. The only reason that I knew something was amiss (apart from the horrendous and much-dreaded "sore throat breath") was that he woke up from a nap with what can only be described as a "side-goiter". The lymph node on the right side of his neck was ENORMOUS. We are talking HUGE folks. It was highly disturbing but, thankfully, made a quick retreat once we started antibiotics. Milo is feeling much much better too (he actually 'fessed up to feeling better). If you're interested, you can read about the side-goiter--called cervical adenitis--by clicking here.
Feeling a little left out, Isabel was whining to me about her "sore froat". When I asked her to point to where it hurt (I was already a little suspicious), she pointed to her upper lip. See the picture above. Funny girl. :)

Well get that girl some sore froat medicine! I'm pretty sure that lip gloss would do the trick.
Darn...and I really wanted to see a picture of the side goiter...
Wow, here's another quirky behavior that must be genetic. Spencer would NEVER admit to being ill. He would have to either pass out or bleed out his eyes before he would say he didn't feel well.
And he was remarkably healthy as a kid, without the terrible experiences behind him like Milo has had. Oh, I love those kids.
