Probably strep again

[pegkerr]

Delia's sick with a fever of 104. Rob's taking her in to get her tested for strep.

Edited to add: And just to complete my joy: I stopped by the school to get her math homework and talked to the school nurse, who told me, "Better check her for lice. We've seen some among the 7th graders."

I hope she feels better soon. That's scary!

Ah crap :( I hope she feels better soon!

Poor kid. She - and you all - just can't catch a break. Hope she feels better soon and doesn't transmit it to anyone else. (One tiny bright spot: no blackbelt testing this time!)

I just added to my post: I stopped by the school to pick up her homework and spoke to the school nurse, who told me we had better check her for lice, too, because they're seeing some among other 7th graders.

Oh ... yay.

Gah, that sucks! I managed to catch lice during my 5-week stay at the hospital - it never rains but it pours.

I recently heard of a new trick to get rid of lice though - apparently hair dye works just as well, if not better, as the chemical shampoo - it should take care of both the lice and the nits. I've never tried it, but it sounds a lot easier and a lot more fun than the usual treatments.

Reminds me of that old Elton John song:

"Hold me closer, Tony Danza;
"Count the head lice on the highway."

Ohmigosh, it's so scary when they get a fever that runs that high--no matter what age. I hope she's feeling better soon.

Sounds like she's a strep carrier. I get it a lot myself. With antibiotics hopefully she'll be feeling back to her old self soon!

oh man. When I was that age it seemed like I got strep once a year. It was nightmarish. Poor lamb.

Oh, man. I remember your long lice seige a few years back. I hope there are none!

(And I mean. 104 degrees. That's no good. Get better, Delia!)
