What's Up Doc....

Tuesday night, Presley was complaining of her cheek hurting.  We've had lots of practice with these wonderful childhood illnesses....so process of elimination I diagnosed her with an ear infection and maybe some allergy issues.   After giving her some children's pain medicine, her cheek quit hurting and that allowed her to really feel that ear ache.  But with no fever or any other symptoms to keep her home, I sent her to school until it was time to go to her doctors appointment.  I was up their volunteering, so it was no big deal if she wasn't feeling good....I could just leave and take her home.

So she was fine through out the school day.  Not a complaint from her at all.  She even said she feels well enough not to go to the doctors office. 

At 3, we arrive for Presley's doctor appointment.   They get immediately give her a strep test since her lymph node was huge.  The nurse leaves, the doc comes in.  With the news the strep test was POSITIVE!  I usually know when she has strep!  She had no symptoms this time around.  No headache, no sore throat, no belly ache!  Just an ear ache.  

So I am glad I took her.  She did have a double ear infection...at least I was correct in that diagnosis.  So now she is on ANOTHER antibiotic and will be good to go to school on Friday!

As we were leaving, I told the doc, "So, see you tomorrow for Piper's 4 year check up."  She stopped me and decided to save me a trip and see Piper right then.  That was awesome and unexpected.  Piper thought it was cool too....she didn't realize that she was about to get 5 shots!  Ouch!  Piper always seems to know how to make people smile.  She pulled down her pants and pulled up her shirt and showed the good doctor that she had her Yo Gabba Gabba underwear on.  She giggled....made everyone else giggle.  That laugh is so infectious!
