tales from the trailer {Strep!}
We've hit a slight glitch on our road trip, Dave & I both have strep throat! Luckily, Ruby has been spared, and we're now fully into the first couple days of anti-biotics, so things are lookin' up. After spending an entire day in a Santa Barbara ER, Dave hooked up to an IV for hours on end, we opted out of the campground for a night and got a pretty Spanish-style hotel room with an ultra comfy bed. Camping and strep throat do not mix. Actually, nothing mixes with strept throat, my throat is covered in tiny white barnacle-looking things and I sound like I have a mouth full of marbles. Food? Not so much. Sleep? Most definitely not. Keeping a smiley can-do attitude? I'm really trying....but I swear it's hard.

Strep is THE WORST. That's why I had my tonsils out, 4+ times a year going on into my twenties cured me of it. One of the best decisions I ever made. So glad that you guys are on the mend, but all day in the ER on an IV? Dave must have had a particularly nasty case... Poor guy, so glad to hear that the ABX are working.
Holy Cow! How awful. I hope the meds are kicking in.
There is nothing worse than a IV. You guys are serious troopers.
