Sick girl

Yep, it happened again. Hailey has been sick. It seems like she was just sick not long ago. When she got up on Friday morning she told me she had a headache. I meant to give her some Tylenol before school, but I forgot. Then after school she came home and rested some. Then she came out and just wanted to lay on the couch. After a few minutes, I went and sat beside her and brushed her hair away from her face. She was a fireball! I took her temp and it was 102. I looked at her throat and it had a couple of red specks, but nothing bad. I was worried though, we had a note come home from school the week before about strep throat going around. The next morning she still had a slight fever and her throat looked terrible! Lots of red spots! I took her to the weekend clinic and sure enough she had strep! I made her stay in her room all day away from Harris and Daddy. I stayed in there with her most to the time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get it! I get it soooo easy! After the 24 hours and 3 rounds of antibiotic I finally let Hailey come out. We took Daddy to the airport and came home. Harris was so glad to get his big sister back that he just laid on her for a long time. I hope she really was past the contagious part! I hope he doesn't get it! I feel like every few hours I'm checking someones throat now! And thankfully school is out on Monday so Hailey has till Wednesday to get all well!

Hailey upset to have to stay in her room a little longer...
But Mommy can still make her laugh!

Getting ready to take Daddy to the airport...
