This morning Madison woke up not feeling well. She told me that her throat hurt when she swallowed. Uncle Zach has been horribly sick this last week and she was around him a bit so I decided to keep her home and make a doctor's appointment. Her appointment wasn't until 1:45 and by that time, she was up playing , eating and had me wondering if she just didn't want to go to school today!
Thankfully I did take her to the doctor, she does have Tonsillitis...the good news is, we caught it before it had a chance to get bad and before it just knocked her out! I did learn something today while talking with the doctor. All along I have been told if Madison (who has had strep throat 3 or 4 times already) keeps getting this bacteria, she will have to have her tonsils removed. Dr. Freitas told me today that children who get strep throat constantly will NOT have to have their tonsils removed because the bacteria will eventually eliminate the tonsils all together...so there would be nothing to remove!
The human body is amazing!
Madison isn't running a fever, is enjoying her day off, taking her medicine like a trooper and will return to school tomorrow with a story to tel!! :)
