<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nIt was a Grade 7 Year End Graduation Trip Thingy and she’d been looking forward to it for a long time.<\/p>\n
They went up to Camp Jubilee<\/a>. Which was kind of fun not just because it’s a great camp with a great facility but also because Jon and I did a couple of Youth Camps there 13-14 years ago. <\/p>\n Angelica actually was probably conceived at that camp…..yah, yah I gotcha with the TMI<\/em>……. and then she was there the next year as a 3-4 month old. <\/p>\n Interesting tidbits, eh? Yah, not really.<\/p>\n Anyway, she’s been looking forward to going with her class and the other Grade 7’s in her school and this past week FINALLY came along. She packed and repacked and finally Wednesday morning rolled around and Jon took her to school at 7:30am and dropped her off. We would be getting her back on the Friday after school.<\/p>\n On Friday, Jon showed up to pick her and her luggage and the other two kids up and Xandra and Jeremy were there an so was Geli’s luggage, but the bus hadn’t quite made it back it. The kids finally showed up and Jon brought a very sick little girl home with him.<\/p>\n Apparently she did fine until Friday morning when she started coughing and her throat felt a bit sore. By lunchtime, just before they left the camp, the glands on the left side of her face on her neck and under her chin had started to swell. By the time she made it home she had quite the fever and so, rather than muck around, Jon took her to a walk in clinic where she was 99.9% diagnosed with strep, but in the event that it doesn’t respond to these antibiotics, it might then be mono, so keep a watch on her and come back on Sunday if she’s not starting to feel better.<\/p>\n AWESOME!<\/p>\n Baby should be showing up anytime now and we have strep throat floating around our house.<\/p>\n She came home, took her meds and went straight to bed. She still felt pretty miserable when she woke up and we dosed her up again and sent her back to bed. She stayed in bed ALL DAY yesterday which indicates to me just how sick she is\/was because my kids…..it takes some serious illness to knock them down. She even slept in the afternoon. So weird!<\/p>\n I used my Google medical degree to determine that once on the antibiotics, she should start to feel better in about 24 hours.<\/p>\n So we’ve been watching her like a hawk and she was out of bed last night and actually wanted to eat….which I figure is a good sign.<\/p>\n This morning, she is still swollen, but she actually got up and took a shower and had breakfast.<\/p>\n Jon took the other kids to church with him and she is still up and about. I figured that I’d let her be up a bit this morning, but then I’d kick her back to bed once everyone got home.<\/p>\n I’d say that the good Dr at the medical clinic was right and that the antibiotics are doing their job. It’s not even been 48 hours, but she is definitely on the mend.<\/p>\n I haven’t asked her too much about the camp, but she did show up the pictures on her camera and she looked like she had a great time.<\/p>\n I really wanted her to get the most out of her time away, but picking up a case of Strep Throat wasn’t really what I had in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My baby, my teenager went away to camp this past week.
