Presley has missed her 1st day of school. I am sure she'll be out for the rest of the week too.
Tuesday night, Presley started running a temperature close to 102 degrees and she complained of a bad sore throat, her nodes were so swollen, had a headache, belley hurting, and her allergies were bothering her. It's almost noon and I can't get her fever to break. We'll be making a trip to the doctors office in the morning if it doesn't go away!
She was pretty bummed when I told her she couldn't go to school. Maybe this will teach her to quit putting her fingers in her mouth!
Oh and yep, that's the Wii remote attached to her wrist. Sponge Bob has been keeping her company all morning long.
9/16/10 Update: I ended up taking her to the doctor because she looked so miserable and was shivering all day yesterday. So the doc says clinically every symptom of hers points to strep and of course her allergies have been acting up lately. BUT the quick strep test came back negative. So we took a 2nd swab and it's been sent to lab to double check. The doc said I may have just brought her in too early for it to show up. So we went to Target and got her meds. They have worked so well! Her fever broke this morning and she is so ready to go back to school tomorrow. I'll find out if she actually had strep or not tomorrow or Saturday though. Either way, she's good to go and will be noncontagious by tonight.
9/20/10 Update: the culture results finally came back. It wasn't strep after all!
