Lucy is sick

Lucy had strep throat over the weekend. We spent most of Friday night calming her and she went to the doctor on Saturday for a diagnosis. (Strep is the name Americans give to a form of tonsillitis) On Friday night her throat was so sore that she was refusing to even swallow her own saliva! She is doing well now and has enjoyed eating her pedialyte popsicles to combat dehydration. However she is on antibiotics (again!) as this is a serious condition that can lead to bronchitis and pneumonia.
