Strep Throat Dragon

When Vivien woke this morning she was just as happy and giggly as she normally is. With hair that wakes itself up in the morning *full bodied hair on a child her size should be a crime* Her half-gum half-teeth grin and giggles in the early a.m. can turn anyone into a morning person. She woke with a very dry diaper (after a full night of continuous pump feeds, one would think her diaper would be soaked, another quirk to her medical issues) and no fever at all. However, her eyes told a different story. Underneath those big brown eyes of hers and eyelashes that are as thick as wool, were puffy sickly rings that danced from one corner of her eyelid to the other. After her breakfast and my coffee we headed off to the doctor, smiles, dark rings and all.

                                                         We ALWAYS bring our own toys

The parrot flashlight that sings "LA-LA-LA-LA   LA-LA" & whistles is her favorite:) *It is secretly mine too, it gets the best reactions when in the grocery store or Target...people turn to look and see who is whistling "at them"...

                                                       

She LOVES the cubby at the doctors office. It is the perfect size for her to scoot her small bottom up to and park her car. Blowing bubbles is also a fun pass-time as we wait to see the doctor

And so it rings true...the Strep Throat Dragon won this battle again. It takes 6 minutes for the test to process. It took Vivien's all of 2 minutes. I am still so amazed at how she gets the Strep Dragon so often. We stay at home 95% of the time, she is never exposed to the sick, and no one else in the house gets sick  from her. Just par for the course I guess. We have fun and Slay Dragons big or small wherever we go :) With a little antibiotic & LOTS of TLC, she will be back to her old, new, normal, Vivien-self.
