Is That A Happy Face?

Brandi was not at all happy that she had to wear a mask at the hospital. I wish we were able to go to our regular doctor instead of spending 4 HOURS in the ER, but the kids insurance is still messed up, so we didn't have a choice.

When we were in triage, the nurse said her symptoms...tummy ache, sore throat, fever, cough...sounded like the flu, so she was given a mask to wear. She hated it. There were so many people there wearing them, though, so it's not like she stood out.

When we finally saw the doctor, he said she has an upper respiratory infection, but it's viral, so no antibiotics. He said to get a DM cough syrup, and keep her out of school until Thursday, because apparently she is extremely contagious. That's not good news for the rest of us.

Her fever finally broke, and has stayed down for a few hours now. I had to beg for tylenol while we were waiting in the ER...her fever was up and she was on fire.

She is still up right no, watching Hannah Montana. I am going to call the school in the morning to get her work so she isn't too far behind when she goes back on Thursday. We are also working on her animal project. She got to choose any animal that does not live in SC to do a report on, and she chose, what else, but an elephant.

Gotta love this kid.
