Sick Mama Growing Girl

I spent today visiting 3 different doctors. I started the day at the family doctor for me. I have been sick for close to 2 weeks, but I kept feeling better. Last night when I got home from Amy's I was feeling terrible. I have a temp of over 102 (Amy and Holly I hope you don't get sick!). So, I was at the Urgent Care when they opened this morning. And, I have strep throat. I really don't feel as bad as I should, but I now have and antibiotic. Hopefully, it will also take care of all my congestion too.

The next visit was with my mom to Dr. Harbens. He is a rehab doctor. This appointment lasted 2 hours. Basically he was testing her cognitave ability and really working on her left arm. He will continue to work with her to hopefully get that arm working. We all really liked him.

The final visit was for Macie's 15 month check up. With as cranky as she has been I really thought she would have an ear infection or something else. But, she was perfectly healthy. She was delightful with the nurses and even opened her mouth and said Ahh when the doctor asked her too. She has basically stayed on the same curve since she was a little squirt. Here are her stats.

Height 30 3/4 inches 50-75 percentile
Weight 20#12 ounces 10-25 percentile
Head 46 1/4 cm 50 percentile

She had her MMR shot today. I thought about not letting her have it, but since it was the only one I went ahead with it. She has actually been in the best mood I have seen her in weeks. I don't know if it is because she took 2 almost 2 hour naps this morning or the tylonol we were giving her because of her shot. I am just hoping she gets to stay at school tomorrow so I can get a couple things done (If I am feeling up for it)

Oh, I'm sorry you're sick! I don't feel sick yet, and I have never had strep before (that I know of). I just finished my ZPAK yesterday so maybe I killed it off before it got started if I did get it.

I hope you feel better soon with your antibiotic.

We just decided that we are meeting my parents in Chattanooga Saturday - at Coolidge Park. So we will again be at the same place as you.
