Fortunately, this was after trick or treating. Well... it perhaps wasn't fortunate for all the people she came into contact with. I feel so bad for her, she is really in a bad state. Her head hurts, her tummy hurts, her throat hurts, she can't get comfortable. Poor Supergirl! There must have been some Kryptonite in the candy!

The next day...
Marley's fever continued to rise last night and it was clear she was in a very sorry state. Because we knew there had recently been a couple of cases of strep throat in her class, we took her in to the doctor first thing this morning. With a temp of 103 (45 minutes after acetaminophen), a red, swollen, pus-y throat, swollen glands, and a headache, the doctor felt comfortable diagnosing strep throat without doing a throat culture. He's been Marley's doctor since the day she was born and has been through her febrile seizures and the resulting antagonism she has felt for anyone in a white lab coat since then. She handles things much better now, but the doctor told me that in addition to her having every clinical sign of strep, it was also Marley--which I took as meaning that he knew she would not easily allow her throat to be swabbed.
So, after 48 hours on antibiotics or 24 hours without fever, she'll be cleared to go back to school.
Yeah Cefzil!

poor babe. At least she had her fun, and it wasn't a stomach thing...
Hope she chases the bug away, and NOT to you.
(Even sick, she's beautiful.)
Oh poor girlie!
I hope she's better soon.
At least she got to go out, and wear her super costume. :)

Oh, but she IS so cute!! Poor thing.
Poor little thing....
What a sweetie. I looked a bit like her on Wednesday night - no strep throat, just a bad high heel cowboy boot experience.
Hope she is on the mend.
Poor Super Girl!!! I hope she is feeling better now! And I'm so glad you are not harmed by the fires. I heard the news on who started them...AWFUL!
Ohhhhhhh...poor kiddo.

Sucks when the kryptonite sneaks up on ya......
Poor thing. At least she has all that candy to look forward to once she's better.
Poor Marley. My youngest just got over a bad case of strep, too.
Oh no...poor Super Girl.
I hope the abx are doing their magic and she'll be up and flying soon.
Oh, I'm hoping she's 100% back to normal very, very soon.
