STREP Again

Monday started out with good 'ol hamburgers on the grill. Compliments of Stroker. That was a great treat after my visit to the dentist for my cleaning. Grilled burgers, tiki torches and a patio...Aaaaahhhhh backyard paradise.

Tuesday was "Parent/Teacher conferences at CHS, only this year, we called it Parent/Teacher/Student conferences. Devin was not too pleased to join us, but he didn't really have a choice. The outcome was pretty good, so we let Devin choose the dinner location for the night.  He chose Olive Garden. Brooke was complaining a little bit with a headache and sore throat, but she was not about to pass up a trip to the Olive Garden.

Wednesday morning Brooke got up with a headache, sore throat and upset tummy so I figured sinus drainage was the best diagnosis...especially since she didn't have a fever. I told her that if she got to feeling too bad at school, she could call me. After lunch rolled around and I had not heard from her,  she must have been feeling better.

At 2 pm the phone rang. It was Brooke's school. She had a temperature of 101.6   To the doctor she went. STREP!

Brooke has spent Thursday and Friday at home recuperating. We missed the Tech football game Thursday night, but Devin and some of his friends went in our place. They had a good time till the heavy rain set in. By the time I returned to pick him up, they were soaked. Brooke was feeling so bad Thursday that we didn't get to attend the CHS Homecoming parade either. She did attend her Constitution Program this morning because she had an important part to recite. She did an awesome job!

Afterwords, she came back home to rest and get better.
