update

Wyatt has surgery tomorrow, and we have an uninvited guest in our home. Yes, illness has struck. Savannah came home on Monday complaining that she hadn't felt well all day. She has not run a fever and has no other symptoms than a hoarse voice and a scratchy throat. However, she has been freezing off and on - still with no fever.
We went to Target last night so that Wyatt could pick out some Bakugan balls to play with after surgery. Julia fell asleep in the van on the way home. When she didn't awake for a few hours, I suspected that we might be in trouble. When she did finally awake, she was burning up with a fever which we have controlled all day with medication. She has complained that her tongue hurts. I suspect she may have strep, but our pediatrician will not see suspected strep cases until 24 hours after the symptoms start. Therefore, we may have surgery and a trip to the pediatrician ahead tomorrow.
Savannah's class is having a cookie cake treat that she got for them tomorrow, so she is bummed about the possibility of missing school.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law should be here any minute. She wanted to come and help out with Wyatt's surgery, and we did not want to make her the bad guy (the one who has to keep his hands off his face on the way home). Therefore, Andy and I both went ahead and scheduled to be off work. Now, we will need her here to watch Julia, and possibly Savannah. What a day we may have tomorrow!!
