Strep and Stuff

One afternoon Katlyn was running a fever of 103.1 and scared us pretty bad! We gave her some Tylenol to get it to come down and then took her to the doctor. First she checked her ears and said they looked good and then checked her throat and as soon as I saw the light shine in the back of her throat......I knew! It was horrible, but she really hadn't acted like she felt bad or that it hurt her. The doctor did a strep test and sure enough, it was STREP! Uggghh!! So, they gave her a shot of Penicillin and we were on our way home. She did great the first two days, but then broke out with hives on her thighs...then all over! We headed back to the doctor and they gave her prednisone and said, "No More Penicillin for Katlyn!". During all that we did have some fun, though. Aunt Seester came down and she, Lu-Lu and I enjoyed our annual trip to the Cotton Pickin' fair. Hopefully, next year Katlyn will get to enjoy the fair with us, because we really missed having her there!

Does she look like she has strep to you???

 

Enjoying a swinging sleepy time with Daddy!

 

Story time with Aunt Seester!
