This morning Mari Morgan woke up with a bad cough, soar throat, and fever.  Yesterday, she seemed to be fine.  The sad thing is that her 5th birthday party was supposed to be tomorrow.  She has been counting down the days!  I quickly got a shower and made an appointment for her.  She has had strep throat twice since December, and she said, "Mom, I think I have Strep Froat".   I thought that would be impossible, so I believed she had the flu.  The doctor did both a strep and flu test and she was positive for both.  I couldn't believe it!  The doctor said he had only had 1 or 2 of this case.  He referred us to an ear nose and throat specialists to check her out.  She is very sad that she will not have her party tomorrow, but we are planning to have it on Thursday.  She's getting to eat icecream and watch a lot of movies.  I had to go to Wal-Mart and get some meds so I picked her up a new book about a princess and a horse.  She loves it.  I think we're going to make it- just hope the rest of us don't get it.
