Are you kidding me??

So, Miss Libby was sick with strep throat a few weeks ago. She was on antibiotics for 10 days and finished that up last Thursday. She has been perfectly fine lately...that is until this morning when she woke up with a scratchy throat. It didn't seem too bad and so we went to school. I was only scheduled to volunteer until 10:30 because I had a doctor's appointment today at 11:00. I left school and got a phone call that my doctor was having to cancel my appointment. Great. So, I went home. I was home all of five minutes when I got a call from the school nurse that Libby was in the clinic with a very sore thorat. She was crying because it hurt so bad and she wasn't able to eat any of her lunch. I left to go pick her up and called her doctor's office to see if she could be seen today. Normally if she had to come home with a sore throat I would just bring her home and have her rest but considering that she just had strep and had another sore throat I wasn't going to waste any time. They made her an appointment for 15 minutes later so I picked her up from school and we dr0ve to her doctor's office. They looked at her throat and did a rapid strep test. Yep, strep throat A.G.A.I.N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We left from there and went to get her the new medication that would hopefully fully knock out her strep and it dang sure better work...that medication was $143.98. That wasn't a typo...her freaking medication actually cost that much. Ouch. All I can say is that this better work!!!!
