Big surprise!

No, I'm not pregnant...
So, last Thursday, I got a call from day care saying that I needed to pick Kayleigh up because she had a fever. Luckily, they called after school, and Erik had Friday off, so he was able to stay home with her the next day. On Sunday night, I noticed a rash that had started on her tummy and back. I called the doctor's office Monday morning, but wasn't able to get an appointment until Tuesday. We went to the doctor's office on Tuesday, and the doctor said that the rash was probably an after effect of the fever that she had. Here's the big surprise: when he was checking her ears, he decided that she had an ear infection! How many times is this poor child going to get sick??? At least she's still able to go to school with an ear infection. She just wouldn't be allowed to go if she had a fever.
On the plus side, she doesn't have strep throat! A rash sometimes appears with strep. But, the nurse had to do a strep test. That's right, she shoved one of those extra long q-tips down Kayleigh's throat!! At least she's too young to remember the trauma.

Aww, man! Poor baby Kayleigh. We'll be praying for her to heal quickly.

I think she needs to come live with us.
Guess who?
