Sicknesss...Sickness...go away!

We've been home the last two days because Macy is sick.  She threw up and had a headache at school on Thursday and then after we got her home she started running a high fever.  I was up off and on all night Thursday night with her.  It was still high on Friday so I stayed home and took her to the doctor.  By the time we got to the doctor she had broken out into a rash on her neck, stomach, feet and head.  The doctor said she had scarlett fever..okay am I the only one that thought that didn't exist anymore?  Well it is caused from a strep infection and comes on quickly.  I got upset since people used to die from that but he assured me that didn't happen anymore and that I just needed to be sure I gave her the antibiotics like clock work 2 times a day and for the exact time frame given.  She ran a fever all of yesterday and even into the night but today she is finally feeling better.  She didn't eat for 2 days and hasn't eaten much today but knowing my child that will come soon. So...I am forced to stay inside and clean house!!  In between I have to play barbies, blocks and school.(i get enough of that in the real world) but she likes it.

Poor Mae! Hope she is feeling better. Last time someone got strep, everyone in the house got it so you all take care of yourselves!
