Runny noses, coughs, matted eyes and saliva filled fingers, oh the "joys" of day-care.
When I picked Madison up from "school" on Monday, her teacher handed me a book Madison made. It was her first Halloween book that she had painted (spiders, ghosts and witches hats) using her hands and feet. We are so proud. What a great keepsakes, I should say the many keepsakes.
We got home from school and I noticed that Madison felt hot and was sweating a little bit. So, we took her temperature a plethora of times. Each time the reading was around 100 degrees. Of course it was after doctors normal hours so we had to page the on-call doctor. Fortunately, the on-call doctor was Madison's regular doctor. We were providing and giving her all the remedies we could, but decided to see the doctor the next morning.
Of course, her appointment included blood work. Not sure where she gets the strength of being poked and prodded. After all of the tests were administered, we found out she had a bacterial infection. As such, the doctor prescribed amoxicillin for the next 10 days. Oh...amoxicillin, "pink bubble gum" as we called it growing up. It brings back so many fond memories. Okay, yes I was tempted to smell the medication. I have a feeling that Madison will need to get use to taking the "pink bubble gum," hopefully not too often.
I am happy to report smiles and a hearty appetite are back. She still likes Cindy Lauper music, mom's singing of Cindy Lauper songs, dads tractor noises, kicking and playing on her ocean mat.
