What a Day

Well, today started out as the first day back to a normal routine after 2 weeks of school days off due to weather and holidays. Felicia woke up with a headache, but she does tend to get headaches, so that wasn't terribly unusual. After giving her Ibuprofen, however, it still hadn't gone away. i sent her on to school because she had no other symptoms and , yes, I had to to go to work too.
I had to pick them early today because all 4 kids had a dentist appt. I picked up Felicia and Ellie first, then drove to the middle school. By the time we picked up Bethany and Sam, Felicia was laying down in the back seat. By the time we got to the dentist, she was running a fever and saying her throat hurt. The three other kids went into the dentist, I called the doctor to make an appt. Felicia then went to the restroom at the dentist office and threw up twice.She was going downhill FAST. The kids were finally done after Bethany and Sam had their wires removed to get their teeth cleaned, then had to get their wires put back in AFTER the cleaning. Luckily, the ortho and dentist are side by side. Once we were completely done at the dentist with Felicia's appt rescheduled, we headed right to the docotor's office,where we soon found out that she had strep throat, something she's only had once before in her life in first grade.
So, we still remain out of a normal routine for this week. I will be home with Felicia and hopefully she will bounce back quickly like our little Tigger always does.
As I like to say "Always expect the unexpected !"
