Unfortunately, after her great Halloween, Jessica woke up Saturday morning complaining of a headache. As soon as I felt her I could tell she was running a fever. Her temp was 101.6 so we got some Tylonal in her. A few hours later we went to the walk in clinic to have her checked for strep throat. Last year she had these same symptoms several times and ended up having strep. The doctor we saw was very nice, she said her throat was red and inflamed and her lymph nodes were enlarged. She did a quick strep test on her which came back negative (same thing that happened last year). She was nice enough to write us a prescription so we didn't have to go back to anyone else later on if she wasn't getting better. By 5:30 she was getting worse and feeling pretty miserable so I went and got her antibiotic filled. She has pretty much just been laying around the house all weekend reading stories and watching cartoons or movies. She's tired of toast and applesauce but still complaining of stomach ache and still telling me occasionally that she feels like she's going to throw up, thankfully she hasn't yet though! She slept through the night except when I had to wake her up to give her more Tylonal.
