medicine

Rebecca loves taking medicine.  This is a complete turnaround from what I'm used to with Rachel, who is terrible about taking medicine.

So it's a good thing that it's Rebecca who's been diagnosed with strep throat, not Rachel!

The last few days she's had a pretty high fever, and I figured it was just a virus, and wasn't planning on taking her to the doctor, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought now would probably be a better time to take her, rather than waiting until later in the week, closer to the holiday, when there would probably be fewer doctors in the office and harder to get an appointment.

I'm SO GLAD I did!  I never expected strep throat.  Neither of them has ever had it.  She wasn't complaining of her throat hurting, and was still eating okay.  Just the fever, really. 

So now she's on the pink stuff, except it's not pink!  It smells like it, is the same consistency, but it's white, not pink!  She likes it.  Oh, it makes it so much easier that way.  Bless you, Rebeeca!!!

Now I am really, really hoping that Rachel doesn't catch it. 

Gotta go wake up my sick girl to go to the bus stop.  In a few minutes it will be Christmas vacation!  Rachel's done with school for a couple of weeks.  YAY!
