Adventures of Macie

Macie has had an eventful medical week. On Monday, she hit her head on the hardwood floor. She was complaining that her head hurt, and then she threw up a few hours later. After chatting with the nurse, Jeff took her to the ER to get checked out. They decided they should do a CAT scan to be safe. She checked out just fine and other than loosing a bunch of sleep she seemed fine on Tuesday.

But, Wednesday, she threw up again a few minutes after she woke up. She had not eaten, so I kind of thought it was just drainage. While we were at the beach, she had a runny nose and had complained about her head hurting even before she hit it. As the day went on she was lethargic and did not want to do much. She took a nap on the couch and was still puny when she woke up. I decide to take her to the doctor to make sure all was well. It turns out she has strep throat. I had thought she might, but I looked in her throat. Her tonsils were big and red, but they did not have any white spots. This is the third time in about 6 months she has had strep. I have a feeling we will be getting her tonsils out before she goes to Kindergarten. (It is very hard to tell she is sick because she really does not act like she is very sick.)

She had to stay home from school today. For most of day, she has been incredible. She has played nicely by herself and been very sweet. It makes me wonder how long she has been sick. Here is another picture of her at the beach.
