Catching the Bug

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I’d like to discuss something that rules your life when you’re part of a large family like mine: SICKNESS.
You know when your sister gets sick at school, and then you start feeling sick, and then maybe your brother gets sick next? Well picture that in a family of nine. When one person gets sick, you can bet that every single other person is going to get sick as well. This time, it was Strep Throat. One of my four-year-old sisters said her mouth (she meant throat, of course) was hurting her. My mom took all three of my little sisters to the doctor and had them all tested. Well the four-year-old who had complained, and the two-year-old, both tested positive for Strep. Surprisingly enough, the other four-year-old tested negative. This was on Monday.

By Wednesday, the doctor had called my mom to say that the test for my sister that had originally come back negative had now turned out to be positive. So now all three of my little sisters are on medication and I really admire my mom for the way she can keep track of who gets which medication in addition to daily medicines that half of us are on for one thing or another. I can barely remember to take my Asthma medication everyday!

My throat was starting to get sore last night, but luckily, it has come to a stop on its own. I can’t afford to get sick right now… there’s too much going on at school for me to take time off (although, I would definitely love a day to just sleep and not worry about anything!!).

The family that gets sick together stays together. How often do germs get passed around your whole family?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
