Last week Tuesday Lorelei came down with a fever. Of course. This was Tuesday night so there was no hope of getting her into the doctor until Thursday because the office isn't open on Wednesday. {I've always thought this was weird, but I suppose it's because they are open on Saturday.} They didn't have any appointments open by the time I managed to call on Thursday so we had to settle for Friday morning.
Her tonsils were {and still are} quite large, but we didn't bother with a strep culture because the doctor didn't think it was strep. With her tonsils being a +4 in size for the 2nd time this year {and her 4th documented throat infection} we just decided to go right to the antibiotic and deal with whatever infection was brewing.
This morning I took her in for her sports physical so that she can participate in cheerleading this season. {She's going to be a member of a competitive squad because there are no other options at this age.} The physical went well. Her tonsils are still about a +3, but she was deemed otherwise healthy and able to participate in cheer.
For height Lorelei came in at 44 inches and 41.5 pounds. This puts her between the 25th and 50th percentiles for height and weight. That's pretty much the growth pattern she's been on since birth.
