Pink Eye, Strep Throat, When Will it End?

[sandilynn1975]

All of my kids have had the pink eye now. My 7 year old, then onto my 8 year old and now my 11 year old. I have to say the baby has not yet gotten it and I do hope she doesn't. I haven't gotten it. My whole family has had strep throat and now my 11 year old and myself have terrible sore throats! This time of year is so bad for these viruses. Anyone else going through it now? Uuuugh!

We are not going through it, but I'll never forget the time my sister (with five boys) had them each break out ONE at a time with the chicken pox.  She ended up quitting her job because she was out twelve weeks until they were all done with the ordeal!

That actually DID happen to me and my sisters when I was kindergarten. I have a younger sis so she wasn't in school yet. My older sister was a couple of grades ahead of me and we all got it one at a time...but pretty much in order so that we were all at the same time eventually. We got better in order too. I remember how awful it was and still have a few chicken pox scars to remember it all by.

With a family of six a small cold and wipe us out for a month or more!  LOL.  Craziness.  In fact, we are just getting over being now after what seemed like an eternity.  With the season change, and my family's sinus issues, we will be on and off all fall and winter.  UGH.

We're all too! It just keeps getting passed around and around and comes back stronger!

My 7 yr old has had three strep throat 3 TIMES in the last 3 months.  It is really hard to not just scream!
