Scarlett has Strep Throat

How's this for a sad picture?

Our sweet girl has strep throat for the first time.    It all started four nights ago, when she felt really warm at her middle of the night waking.  The next day, she fell asleep on the floor in the late morning - and that never happens.

Then she'd get really hot and lethargic and just lay on the couch.  Then I'd giver her Tylenol and sometimes it worked better than others.  Sometimes she was back to her usual energetic self for a few hours.

But after four days of a very persistent fever with no other symptoms, it was time to get her to the doctor.   He doubted she had strep, but ran the test anyway ... and it came back positive.

Our poor girl misses her Papa, who is traveling for work, and asks for him regularly.  But he will be home shortly.

Until then, we are hoping Christian doesn't get sick ... hoping Mommy doesn't get sick.  But, I am close proximity to her all the time, and give her plenty of kisses - even when she's sick.  A Mommy's love isn't hindered by germs - even the really contagious variety. :)

If you feel so inclined, please say a lil' prayer for our family, that the rest of us would remain healthy.

Thank you! :)

Scarlett did GREAT at the doctor today!
