Tuesday morning when Kelly took Kali to school she told him she had thrown up that morning and her stomach wasn't feelin to well. He told her to tough it out cause we have had episodes where she says that and then we go and pick her up from school and within an hour of being home she is good to go. So she went to school and sure enough started throwing up again at school so Kelly went and picked her up. She came home and was running a fever so she put her jammies back on, climbed into bed and we gave her some meds and she went back to sleep.
She couldn't keep anything down all day and her fever was staying the same. Wednesday she still wasn't feeling well so she stayed home from school and by the afternoon her fever had spiked up to 103. So I called her doctor and got her an appointment. Her doctor tested her for strep (negative) and then tested her for the flu (POSITIVE!) That's right she was positive for Type A Flu..wonderful huh. The poor kid looked like she was on her death bed and just had no energy in her. Her doctor started her on some meds and by Friday she was good to go.
Since she wasn't feeling well I wasn't even going to bother her with picture taking so I just decided to take a pic of her pharmacy she had going here at the house for herself...we had Gatorade, Tylenol, Tameflu, Anti-Nausea meds and some cool down strips for her fever. I was so glad that she started feeling better Friday because Sara was coming Saturday and we were going to Fort Smith for Spring Break the following week and I didn't want her to be sick for that. I pretty much kept her quarantined in her room the whole time she was sick because I didn't want Presley or myself to get it because I knew if one of us got it, we would be out of commission for a while and I couldn't afford that. But Kali did good about staying in bed and luckily no one else in the house got sick.
