Laying Low

Sunday night Baileigh wasn't feeling well. She could barely swallow and had a fever. I took her to the doctor yesterday and now we're on antibiotics for strep throat...at least some virus along those lines. The doctor saw the spots and took a throat culture but said we didn't have to wait for the lab results. She sent the prescription into the pharmacy so we could get going and she said she would call me if the test came back if it showed something that she wouldn't treat with amoxicillin.

So our plans for the week have changed, at least for today. Between Baileigh's need to lay low for at least a day and the frigid weather outside we're altering our original plans of going into DC tonight to see the National Tree. Instead we're going to go to the Bull Run Festival of Lights tonight so we can stay warm in the car.

Today we decided to stay in our pj's, build a fire, listen to Christmas music and make sugar cookies for Santa. Apparently he doesn't want the other 12 variety of cookies we've already made and the girls insisted that they needed to make sugar cookies to leave out for him on Christmas eve.
