Update on Caroline

[puppetmaker]

She has her first case of strep throat and a nasty cold on top of the strep. We have antibiotics for her and after two doses the fever is much reduced this morning. The cold is just going to have to work itself out of her system. The sad thing is that because of the post nasal drip she is coughing which is irritating her already sore throat.

We are very lucky that our pediatrician has Sunday hours so she could see Caroline rather than having another day of scary fever before seeing the Doctor.

The Super Bowl was a solid game and it could have gone either way. That the Cardinals fought back as hard as they did and take the lead was nothing short of amazing. Favorite commercial was the Alec Baldwin Hulu.com commerical. Caroline loved the 3-D Monsters vs. Aliens preview.

I am so grateful that Caroline is better.

Never had strep throat, but I know enough of what Caroline's feeling. Poor kid. She'll climb out of that illness, though. (Indeed, thanks for Sunday pediatrician hours.) I hope she's better quickly!

Even people who don't like football were saying how well that game turned out (http://apocalypsos.livejournal.com/1903474.html). (Though there are choice, funny words against the Cardinals defense in that thread.)
