Test results are positive

Positive for Strep throat. Mary-Gail has Strep throat.

Mary-Gail's fever spiked to 102.3 Sunday night. I'd been dosing her with Tylenol and alternating with Motrin to try to break the fever, but I couldn't get it lower than 99.9. I took her & Rebecca to the Pediatrician Monday to have Mary-Gail checked out - I thought she had another ear infection (#6). 2 hours later we were seen. SueAnn checked Mary-Gail's ears, they were OK, and then she checked her throat - red, raw, and swollen was how SueAnn described it. SueAnn swabbed Mary-Gail's throat, which induced severe dry heaving, and tested the swabs for Strep Throat. The rapid test came back positive. Positive for Strep Throat. We're on an antibiotic twice a day for 10 days.

Rebecca was so protective of Mary-Gail during our office visit with SueAnn. Rebecca was screaming in protest, so much so that the little veins in her neck almost popped! SueAnn was amazed to see Rebecca's reaction; Mary-Gail is the little sister after all.
