Happy Anniversary!

It is LeCount & my 6 year wedding anniversary today. We celebrated by:

LeCount going to work

Me dealing with an EXTREMELY irritable 2 year old...

Oh, did I say Morgan was irritable? When LeCount got home from work, Morgan's irritability escalated (and here, I didn't think it could get any worse!!!) Something was wrong with her, it had to be. She had a runny nose, by other than that, she seemed just fine... except for the irritability. Once it escalated, I decided she would need to be checked out by a doctor. After a 2 1/2 hour wait (luckily we got to wait at home with web check-in), we were at Care Now.

The pictures above are Morgan at the clinic. She was giddy with excitement, laughing, playing, talking, smiling! Good grief! She could at LEAST put on the same show for the doctor that she had for me all day!!! Now, I had to convince him that she wasn't acting that way before.

No fever

x-ray shows clear lungs

negative for flu

oh, what's that? The doctor found something? Surprisely, it was one of the symptoms that Morgan had told me. I asked her if her throat hurt... She didn't understand the question, so I posed it a different way, "Does your neck hurt?" She said, "No, it doesn't hurt. It's itchy!" Sure enough...

She has Strep Throat! So that is what she means by an itchy neck!

That is how we spent our anniversary. I am happy that Morgan has something that will be better by tomorrow night, since she gets to start a round of amoxicillian. My poor Morgan, if it's not flu or a sinus infection, it's strep! She has been sick so much these past two months. Hopefully, this is the last of it! No Friday school for us tomorrow because she will still be contagious.
