Strep Throat in Brussels

Kate has been sick all week. High fever of 102.5 under her armpit. Another parent whose husband works at the US Embassy recommended a pediatrician in Woluwe-St. Pierre, Dr. Annick Grymonprez. She was terrific with Kate and said that she had strep throat. Dr. Grymonprez prescribed Amoxicilline for her strep throat and said I could use our Tylenol Cold/Flu for the fever (so glad it hadn't expired!).

Kate and I found Popsicles at the local Del Haize grocery store (although we don't have the freezer space!). We also bought lots of sorbet, 7UP and Sprite to sooth her throat. What a nice week of treats for Kate!

The pediatrician said she could go back to school tomorrow. I think she is excited to see her friends. I am glad she is well, but I will miss playing Candyland and the Dora Matching Game with Kate.
