MD update

The news is no news. Abby doesn't have strep, mono or the flu. This is the same rx's as on Sat. She did get some steroids for the swollen throat. Dr. M said if it had been menegitis, she wouldn't have been able to move her head at all and would have been so sick, that I wouldn't have hesitated to take her to Children's Mercy. Her fever is better today, she is off the couch for now and there has been lots of giggling and arguing up in Polly Pocket world.

Mark says he is better and doesn't need a chest xray. Hope that he is accurately RXing himself.

There's the medical news from here.

Well, I guess some improvement is still improvement nonetheless. Tammy said that she had a couple kids in her class last week with 104 degree temps for several days (they weren't in her class with the fever, but this is what their parents reported after they came back from being gone all that time). It just turned out to be a virus since none of the antibiotics were touching it. It's tough to wait all that out, though. Hang in there.

Lili is just getting over the high fever, tiny bit of clear drainage and LOTS of ridiculous coughing...total virus. I took her in on Sunday afternoon and they checked every crevice in her head...everything was fine--even did an RSV test which was also neg. We just got some heavy-duty cough med./decong./antihis. and finally last night she slept...for the first time since Thursday!

I know Abby will be fine--I can only imagine how anxious you feel though! Let us know if you find anything out!

Love ya!
