Alexis Update 2
Wow! It's been a long, tiring day! Alexis is currently laying down next to me on my bed watching the new episode of Blue's Room where Blue gets a baby brother while I type this and she is rapidly falling asleep or appears to be!
Late this afternoon Alexis started complaining of a sore throat. Then about 30 minutes ago we ventured out to pick some cucumbers and she grabbed one of her precious peppers, bit into it and immediately started crying because she couldn't swallow it without it hurting her. So I pulled out the handy dandy flashlight and her throat is not pretty! Jamison called the place we went last night and surprisingly they were less then useful and instead directed him to the Nurse line. The nurse asked a few questions, had us have Alexis to try a few things to make sure it wasn't anything too serious, and advised that we'd be better off taking her to her regular doctor in the morning because she most likely has strep and a few hours here or there won't make that big of a difference and she'd be better off with her primary doctor. I have to say I agree with that assessment!
So I'll call first thing in the morning and get her an appointment, hopefully with Dr. West if she's in. I'm hoping she'll fall asleep here in my room and sleep with me tonight because it will make it easier to keep an eye and ear on her. We'll see how it goes.
Update: 7:29 PM: Not so much asleep! She is bouncing to keep herself awake while she watches Blue. I have a feeling she's going to have to sleep in her room.
