Well, Natalie did make it back to school on Tuesday. Until 4 pm when we got The Call from her after-care -- a fever of 101. :-( So we got her home, gave her acetaminophen, and off to bed she went.
Wednesday she was better but she stayed home from school due to the fever on Tuesday. She said she wanted to go to school the next morning.
Thursday comes, we send her to school and -- get The Call at 10:15 am. Fever of 100. She says she has a sore throat.
So I call the pediatrician. Maybe it's strep and I don't want to mess with it, especially with the weekend coming. We get an appointment at 1:15 pm with our favorite doctor. She looks at Natalie; looks at her (red) throat. Time to do a culture. Five minutes later -- positive for strep.
So now she's on antibiotics for 10 days. Of course no school for Friday and possibly no dance class for Saturday. Definitely no swim class on Sunday.
In the meantime, Nicholas has a runny nose so we kept him home, too. Just in case. Whatever viruses and bacteria are running around seem to be taking out a whole lot of people!
