Well, Emily got sick, then got better (we thought), then two days ago woke up and couldn't put any weight on her left leg. It was really strange, but she managed to hobble through the day (not feeling very well though). I called the nurse after hours and she told me that if she developed a fever at all, to take her in to the ER.
Well, sure enough, the next morning, she developed a fever. Since it's about as hard to get through the busy signals at her pediatrician's as it is traveling around the world holding onto a helium balloon, Leslie and dad took her to the urgent care over by our house.
I made the mistake of calling in the middle of it, because as I heard her crying in the background, I decided to leave school (even though there was no possible way for me to get away...) When I got there to the urgent care center, Emily was getting ready to get blood drawn. She cried through it, but was a very big girl while it happened! Then we went to get x-rays (she didn't like that too much either, especially wearing her lead apron). When we were done, the doctor explained to us that she had strep throat, with a secondary arthritis in the knee... Really weird, but we started her on antibiotics, and she is doing MUCH better today.
That's about it for our lives lately, just trying to get Emily better! In other news, I've been following this site lately, as it's the next installment after the BBS Documentary, which I loved. Here's a trailer for the new movie coming out (prepare yourself, huge nerd alert below...)
