Strep Throat

Another milestone reached...first case of strep throat.  The symptoms all pointed that way, but you just never know!  Her doctor got her in quickly on Monday morning and confirmed it.  It also allowed us to start right in on antibiotics so she would get through the 24-48 hour contagious window more quickly.

On the way to the store, Kevin reported that she was already feeling a little better.  16 hours of sleep will always help.  Some of it's the angle of the photo and her fake smile, but her poor little face and throat are swollen.  And those eyes...

Kevin said she wore the hat all through the stop at Walmart to pick up "sick" supplies.

The good news was that she is doing EXCEPTIONAL with her medicine.  No fight at all.  Thankfully it is a liquid which seems to be one key in getting her to take it.  Kevin told her to think of it as a slightly melted strawberry milkshake.

She said she would think of it as strawberry cheesecake.  Whatever works!
