Rachel's still home

We kept Rachel home again today. It seems that we were into the doctor just before other symptoms started showing themselves. She spent a lot of time yesterday sleeping. She did a little reading but everytime she started reading she would end up just falling to sleep. She complained about a headache and backache too. She didn't want anything to eat which didn't bother me as long as she was drinking. Her temp never got above 99.8. She is eating some today but mainly just crackers and dry cereal. This afternoon she is a bit more active and moving around a bit. But then when I suggested a nap she laid down and actually slept. Hopefully, the antibiotics are starting to kick in and help fight this infection. Also, this morning I just barely touched her lower back (near her left kidney) and she jumped. I haven't heard any more from the doctor but will keep you informed.
