Fighting a Giant

I feel like we are fighting a giant right now! Max was just diagnosed with his second case of strep throat this morning! This makes TEN separate cases of strep throat in our family since October. There is much talk about getting the boys' tonsils taken out and we are wondering if maybe somehow Mattie is a strep carrier and we're getting it from her? We think we know where each separate outbreak has come from, but who knows? Our neighbor Nick Scheibley keeps getting it too... he just got diagnosed with his third case a week ago today and they are likely getting tonsillectomy done on him now. So maybe we got it from him? Of course we all shared water bottles at the zoo yesterday and Max and I made love last night, so go figure! Will it ever end? SHOULD get tonsillectomies done on each boy? ARGH.
