Strep Throat

Saturday night Alison was feeling under the weather. Then all day Sunday she was running a fever. She stayed home from school again on Tuesday with a 102 fever and when Kris got home she took Alison to the doctor. He did a rapid test for strep throat and you guessed it, it came back positive. She got a prescription for some antibiotic (I forget which one at the moment, but I think it is amoxicillin) but on top of that he thought she had a virus on top of it. Her head is very congested so I don't doubt it. I know she was bummed out with missing school and was even more worried going back that she might get someone else sick. The good thing is that at least it didn't escalate into pneumonia this time.
