Knocked Out 2 Birds With 1 Stone

This morning when Addy woke up she had a fever & said that her throat hurt.  Hmmm, I didn't even know she knew what a 'throat' was!  I shouldn't be surprised that she's under the weather since MDO just started 2 weeks ago!  I gave her some medicine & decided to wait a little while before calling the pedi.  Before her nap the evil fever was back, so I made an appointment for this afternoon.  Alyssa was scheduled for her 2 month well-visit this Wednesday & the thought of going to the dr office twice in one week wasn't very appealing to me!

When we got to the office & I was signing her in I VERY nicely asked the nurse if there was any possible way Alyssa could be seen today too.  WOOOHOOO - she said 'yes'!  Alyssa's well-visit will be posted separately.  While we were waiting to see the pedi, Addy sneezed & it was disgusting!  Neon Green Snot!  Gross!  I'll take a clear runny nose any day over this nasty mess!.  I've never seen anything like that come out of her nose!  EWWWW.  The dr came in & checked her out & ordered a strep test.  Addison has her first case of strep throat.  Poor baby!  I still have painful flashbacks of when I had strep last year.  It hurt so bad!  Needless to say, Addy will be getting more popsicles & ice cream than usual.  Oh, and lots of hugs BUT no kisses!

Yes, Addison's mouth is a nice shade of blue from the sucker that 

was used to bribe her for the strep swab!

(At this point we were waiting for the strep test results.  

Alyssa had already gotten her shots.)

She got a popsicle along with the positive strep test results!

She's contagious for 24 hours after her fever breaks & she starts antibiotics.  So, she won't be going back to MDO until Friday.  Antibiotics, ibuprofen, Dimetapp (sp?), popsicles & ice cream = my week!
