Birdie Medical Bulletin

Birdie Brigade, our standard bearer, our mascot, Our Birdie, is under the weather.  Julie and Ted were both up in the night multiple times unbeknownst to the other until the morning, tending to a bellowing Birdie.  She said her tummy hurt.  A trip to the pediatrician this morning revealed that while her tummy may have been hurting, so too was her throat because that is what strep throat does, don't you know.  She looked rather forlorn this morning.  She would say, "Pick me up," which comes out sounding like--and may in fact be--"Pick-y up."  When she wasn't being held, she was sitting in the chair in the living room looking at books and staring off into space.  Poor Birdie.  She's on the mend now though, one dose of antibiotics in, with a nap chaser.
