I stayed home with Michaela today. She woke up with a fever and a sore throat. Since those were my symptoms when I had the respiratory infection, I called the doctor as soon as they opened. Luckily, there is no sign of infection. They did a throat culture even to make sure she didn't have strep. Her fever has been gone pretty much since I gave her the first dose of cough medicine with tylenol in it. She's been pretty quiet today, though.

She had to miss girl scouts tonight and was not real happy about that. It's the first meeting she's missed all year, though so I'm sure it's not going to hurt much that she missed this one. We have to go get her cookies from her leader at the end of the week.

I went to Ash Wednesday service at my church tonight. It felt really good to be there for that. It's been a very long time since I've participated in Ash Wednesday. I am hoping to get to church every Wednesday night during Lent.
