Alexandra's Four Year "Well" Check Up

This is the girls at the doctor this morning.  Monday after our lovely day Alexandra had a fever of 101.  She seemed ok other than that but Hannah has had some congestion so we went ahead and took precautions to head off the effects of Alexandra's condition. Of course I knew she would get sick, since she was supposed to start preschool yesterday.  So instead I had my first experience calling the school to them she was sick.  She had fever all day yesterday and was burning up last night- 103.  We are upping the fever reducers today after seeing the doctor.  She was supposed to have a well checkup but instead had a sick checkup.  She couldn't get her shots- she wasn't disappointed about that- but she will have to go back to do that and eye and hearing checks.  She was 44 lbs 4oz (90-95%) and 44 in. ( >95%).  Practically perfect in every way.  He said she was average height for a 6 year old.  She seems to always be about one pound per inch!  That is always nice to see- since it is the weight by her height that they watch.  She won't be going to school tomorrow either but hopefully next week she will be good as new.  My poor baby!  Don't worry we are keeping the ice cream coming- Daddy took her to a "big movie" to help pass the resting time and take her mind off not feeling good.
