STREP THROAT????

Allie woke up this morning with a temp of almost 102 and complained of a sore throat. I normally would have given her something to take the temp down and had her rest all day. However, I got a call last night from my friend telling me that his daughter Mallorie went to the doc yesterday & has strep throat. Allie & Mallorie were together ALL day on Sunday during both a birthday party & the Super Bowl. SO, I took Allie to the doc this morning & the initial strep test came back negative, but we are waiting to hear about the results of her throat culture too see if it is in fact strep throat. Allie pretty much laid around all day long & watched TV. I served her lunch in her bed and she thought that was really cool. She'll stay home from swimming tonight and school tomorrow since her fever is still hanging around. We'll see what the doc says tomorrow when her lab tests come back.

Don't be surprised if the culture comes back negative. Katie had the same exact thing and both tests came back negative. It's a real ugly virus going around and her throat hurt for a few days!
Good Luck,
