Strep throat and a wart

Tuesday was the first day of school for our kids.  They are always THRILLED to go back to school.  That morning, Aubrey complained that her throat was a little bit dry, but she was too excited to start school to say much about it.  I assumed it was no big deal because she she acted pretty normal and had no other symptoms. 

Wednesday morning, her throat HURT....badly.  She was having trouble swallowing and she no longer wanted to go to school (a sure sign that this child is sick...sorry to all the kids we accidentally exposed to germs that first day).  We took her in to our amazing doctor and found that she has strep throat...and a wart (I don't think the wart has anything to do with her sore throat though).

 So, Dr. VanDenBerghe gave us a fancy RX paper to trade for anti-biotics for the strep and then he plunged a needle into Aubrey's hand to inject the meds to kill the wart.  Aubs was pretty embarrassed to have a wart (which is funny because it is a tiny little thing that no one would really see anyway...except our doctor, it was the first thing he noticed when he came in the room...man that guy is good!).  I told her having a wart means she is either a toad or a witch.  She assures me she is neither.  I'm not convinced, but time will tell. 

After all, she thinks I'm a witch on a pretty regular basis, and I imagine that is probably genetic.  Guess we'll see if she inherited the gene.

Thankfully, she is on the mend and will be back to school in a day or two, no longer contagious and very happy to be back.

Aubrey did give me permission to show this, I wouldn't want to
tease her without her consent.
