I'm a horrible mom!

First of all, while James and I were gone to Atlanta we got a call from my mom to say that Lucas came home sick. Well, as a mom you know when your kids are sick and your not home with them you feel like dirt. I wanted to run home and hug him and tell him it'll be okay, mommy's here. My mom said he was laying his head down on the desk at school so the teacher knew there was something wrong. There goes the knife in the heart! I will say that I'm so blessed that my mom was with him because I wouldn't want to have anyone else with my kids when they're sick. It helps that she's a nurse too! After we got back, he was running a fever and had a cough. With Lucas in the past he usually runs a fever for a couple of days and then he's fine. Not this time of course, he went five days with a fever! I know what you are saying, TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR! Well I did finally today and we found out that he has strep throat. Needless to say, I felt horrible. But, his throat was never sore so I never even thought about it. To all the parents out there, a sore throat isn't always a symptom of strep throat. Please learn from my mistake! Lucas is feeling better today, so this story has a happy ending. Thank you God!
