good news

well, sorta good. after sitting in the pediatrician's waiting room for almost 2 hours we found out that A) Felix totally healthy except for a little seasonal allergy that's causing his runny nose (rose fever?) and B) strep throat almost never cultures in the throats of children younger than 4. So, the one time I could have WebMD'd...scratch that, WebMD says nothing about toddlers and strep throat (other than that strep can be a cause of vomitting, yay). Anyway, so he's healthy, for once, and Andrea and I have started antibiotics, which apparently (according to WebMD) is something you do mostly to stop being contagious. Yes, thats what it says. You get better in about a week no matter what, but if you take antibiotics you stop being contagious in 24-48 hrs. No antibiotics means you can continue infecting people with strep for about 3 weeks, even after you are "all better". Isn't that wonderful?
