Today when I woke up I had a migraine. Alea came into my room when it was time for her to get up and asked me to take her temperature. She will sometimes complain that she doesn't want to go to school but she doesn't usually ask me to take her temperature. I knew that meant she really wasn't feeling well. I took her temp but she didn't have one. I decided that between the two of us we could equal enough sick to stay home together.
I ended up having to go to the doctor because it had been a year since they had last seen me for my migraine medicine so I had to have a chat with them before they would refill my prescription. The nurse practitioner we saw was nice enough to look at Alea's throat since she was starting to complain that it was hurting. She did a strep test on Alea and it came out fine. That is good news.
I think if Alea had gone to school today they probably wouldn't have sent her home because she might not have complained to the teacher or because her temp was never above 99 degrees but by 4:00 today she was definitely running a temp and feeling/acting sick.
We are waiting to see how she feels in the morning but I'm predicting another at home day. Davin has his big weekly meeting on Thursday so he can't stay home with her. He said he could stay home with her on Friday if needed. I hope she feels better soon. I think she just has a bad cold.
