The girls have each been running on-and-off fevers since the end of last week. Lexi's has been more serious and she has been complaining of a sore throat to boot. Abby, on the other hand, is probably just teething or a experiencing a growth spurt. We took them both to the doctor today and, as luck would have it, they miraculously seemed to be better while we were there. Neither one was running a fever, Abby was awake (she slept most of the day away yesterday), and overall their spirits were as high as their normal.
The doctor must've thought we were crazy. He did, however, say that Lexi's throat was a bit red and he ordered a strep culture which came back negative. So, we left after emptying our wallets for two copays, with no prescriptions, no answers...just friggin lollipops and stickers!
"Come back if there is a change by the end of the week," the doctor said.
He really thinks we're nuts!
Anyway, we came home to pick up Lexi's school bag and drop her off at school. As I was ushering her into the building, I opened the door and put my hand on her back. Her back was burning up! Maybe it's just the heat from the sun, I tried to convince myself. I closed the door and felt her forehead. HOT!!!! We returned to the car and told Stefan. We decided she would stay home the rest of the day on regular doses of Motrin. So much for the child that presented to the doctor to be sufficiently healthy, now she's home sick!
