Sickie Update

My night consisted of listening to Claire cough and me and Coach trying everything to get her to stop coughing. No vaporizer, Vicks or cough remedy was working. We pulled out the whole bag of tricks...nothing. You name it, we probably tried it. Finally around 5:30 a.m. she stopped coughing. A small but wonderful miracle!

Needless to say we were at the doctor's office this morning. The prognosis: Scarlet Fever! Su-per. She had this last year as well. I had my suspicions when she started developing a rash late yesterday. I was right. Scarlet fever is basically strep with a rash. I'm sure there is more to it but I'm not the doctor-y type. I hate hospitals, needles, gowns, and the sterile smell of offices. So I'm not exactly up on all the lingo. So, Sweet Bean and I will be sharing the house at least until Friday. We don't want to share all the nasty germies with the class. We could...but I'm not one of those moms. 

So, there won't be any super engaging blogs for the next couple of days, unless something mega exciting happens on Noggin. That's what we'll probably be watching.

I was supposed to go to coffee this morning with Mrs. Coach S. That would've been yummy. 

But nursing a sick Sweet Bean, also okay.  Get better soon baby girl, get better soon.

I hope she gets better...my son was sick last week too. But I did get a lot of cleaning done and went thru all our closets :)
