A Visit to the Doctor

I was on the line with the doctor's office at 8:30 am in order to get Finley in as soon as possible since she is still running a fever.  The doctor said her illness is standard with kids who have never been to school before and it was going around: high fever, lasts for days and chest congestion.  Great.  And it is a virus, so there is no easy antibiotic fix for it.  She did draw some blood to check on her white blood cell count since her fever had been so high, but it all checked out and we were sent home with orders to keep on with the Tylenol/Motrin dosing.  We had to skip both gymnastics and swim lessons today, which has made Finley stir crazy.  The doctor's office for two hours just isn't the same as her usual fun activities.
