Yesterday, Lexi woke up with a scratchy voice. I thought it would be nice for the teacher to spend one day with a quiet Lexi, so I sent her to school. Believe me, the girl can TALK! We've had several notices about it. Plus, Texas only allows 8 missed school days in the whole year. She came home still feeling bad and later that evening started running a fever and even puked up her dinner.
This morning, I called my mom to ask her if she thinks I should take her to the doctor. It had been such a long time since either of my kids were sick that I had to think about needs to be done about it. My mom usually chooses seeing the doctor, especially for sore throats. I called her pediatrician and got in right away. The initial strep test was negative, but they wanted to send another one out just in case. They gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and said if she seems to be getting worse over the weekend I could pick it up on Sunday.
She got to spend the afternoon watching movies and coloring with Jordan. He was happy to have his buddy home for the day.
