For the last two weeks, I've been hearing about all the sickness going through the kindergarten classes. First, a fever virus, now strep. And just yesterday, I was thinking how lucky we've been to stay well. Well, I "thought" too soon.
The girls started sharing a room Monday night and for two nights, they went to bed without too many problems and both slept until a reasonable time in the morning. Claire had been consistently coming into our bedroom in the middle of the night because she was scared of ghosts/monsters, so we thought sleeping with Grace might help, and fortunately it has. Well, this morning, both girls were up too early, at 6am. Grace seemed more lethargic than normal, but she's been fighting a cold and did not complain about anything, so off to the bus stop we went. Within 45 minutes of being at school, I got the call that Grace was in the clinic with a temperature of 101. So after picking up Grace from school, taking Claire to preschool, and stopping by Mike's office for him to check Grace's throat, we headed home and Grace slept over 3 hours. She actually probably would have slept longer if we did not have to go to the pediatrician. But the doctor's visit confirmed what we thought. . . Grace has her first (and hopefully last) case of strep throat. She was a real trooper at the doctor and did not complain about getting the penicillin shot, so she should be able to return to school on Friday, the last day before fall break next week! And hopefully no one else in this house will get sick!
