Cady's turn...

Seems like we can't go more than a week without someone being sick or something weird happening.

On Friday night, Cadence told us she didn't feel well. Her throat hurt, she didn't want to eat and was very lethargic. By bed time she had a 103.4 fever and was pretty miserable. We give her some tylenol and sent her to bed hoping it would be better in the morning.

Saturday morning she had a 101 fever and was feeling more like her old self. By mid morning she was acting like herself again. So we thought crisis over.

Sunday morning, I woke up and got ready for church. The girls came in about 7:30am and Cadence said that she was itching really bad. So I had her take off her PJs and found she was covered head to toe in spots. A low grade fever was back and she said that her throat hurt again. So we called the TriCare Emergency PCM number and explained her symptoms (the clinic is closed on Sundays). The nurses we talked to were concerned that it could be strep (possibly trying to turn into scarlet fever) based on symptoms. So they okayed us a trip to the quick care option here in our area.

The Dr took cultures and they ruled out a couple of things and said that he really thought it was strep. The lab on the strep wouldn't be back until Monday or Tuesday, but he prescribed us some meds anyway since he wanted her on the mend as soon as possible (you know, since Thanksgiving is like four days from now).

So we started the meds and we are hoping that she will be feeling better soon since she is pretty miserable right now. Here are some pictures of her spots. She has them ALL over. Including the bottoms of her feet, her palms, and inside her ears. So far none on her tongue or in her mouth. It was funny cause the Dr told us to keep the girls apart. Hey, I'll try, but really it's next to impossible.

And here is crazy little Rory. She has been doing pretty good since we started her on the extra fiber. Her stools have firmed up a bit and sometimes they have been completely NORMAL! Woot! lol. We haven't had normal from her in a very long time so this is great. Now if we can just get her gaining weight...

I really hope that everyone is having a great November and that you are looking forward to an awesome Thanksgiving!
