When I woke up at 3:30a to go potty, Mimz could tell just by touching me that I had a fever.  It was 101.6.  She went to get some medicine, but I had already gotten in my bed and was sound asleep when she returned.  She checked a few more times during the night and my temperature was not going up.

I crawled into Mimz' bed at 6:30a.  My temperature was down to 101.  I told Mimz last night that my throat hurt a little but this morning it did not hurt.

Mimz called to get a doctor's appointment.  I was seen by Dr. Watson.  My throat was red but not extreme.  Dr. Watson could here the cough and nasal congestion.  He said there was something going around that was a lot like the flu.  They did some testing and the results came back:  I have strep throat so I am contagious and I was not feeling good.  Dr. Watson said I should be better in two or three days and if I didn't have a fever, I could maybe go to school on Thursday.  We shall have to wait and see about that.  Mimz was willing to keep me so I wouldn't give my sickness to Anna Kate or my great grandparents.  I think I have hear that the very young and the very old are more susceptible to catching bugs.   

By noon, we were back home and I had had the first dose of Amoxicillin which I will take twice a day for ten days.  I didn't feel good and was pretty quiet, but I didn't want to lay down.  I had those droopy eyes.  The doctor said you can have strep without a sore throat.  maybe that is what my dad had this weekend.  Fatigue is a big symptom.

All I could think about was my new bike over at Barbara's.  Several times today I looked at the picture Barbara had texted to Mimz.  It rained hard, making it a dreary day.

I always enjoy playing and pretending with toys in the bathtub.


Daddy got to Mimz home around 4pm, so Mimz went to lay down and Daddy fixed us dinner.  He grilled hamburgers for dinner tonight and pork chops for tomorrow.  Mimz and I love Daddy's cooking.  Daddy took me home and again I was asleep by 7:30p.  We don't know if it my illness or the Daylight Savings Time change that is making be go to sleep so early.
