Madeline: *holds Stella* aww honey you don't feel good *rocks Stella and kisses her*
Mrs. Gracey: hey! I wanted to come check on her
Madeline: Say I don't feel too good Mrs Gracey. I'm thinking her complaining about her neck meant that her throat hurt
Mrs. Gracey: ah that makes more sense. She didn't eat lunch. She tried to take a bite but gagged on it. Took a sip of juice and said it was yuck. She was extra sleepy today. Definitely not herself.
Madeline: aww poor baby! Okay I'm gonna bring her to urgent care. Probably just a cold but want to make sure!
Mrs. Gracey: absolutely. Bye pumpkin. Hope you feel better!
Madeline: say thank you

Doctor: Stella?
Madeline: *goes back with Stella*
Doctor: aww what's wrong sweet thing?
Madeline: her throat hurts, she's shivering and running a fever. Just want to make sure it's not the flu or strep or anything
Doctor: yeah of course. I'll test her
Doctor: so the strep test I need to swap the back of her throat
Madeline: let's see how this goes
Madeline: Stella open your mouth
Stella: *opens her mouth*
Doctor: *swabs Stella's throat*
Stella: *gags then starts crying again*
Doctor: I know sweetheart I'm sorry!
Madeline: it's okay baby!
Doctor: I'm gonna go ahead and do the other one and get it over with. This one goes in her nose
Madeline: *holds Stella's head still* you got to keep still baby
Doctor: almost done I promise
Doctor: *swabs Stella's nose*
Stella: *coughs* *crys*
Madeline: *picks Stella up and rocks her *
Stella: *lays her head down on Madeline's shoulder*
Doctor: okay good news no flu or strep so just a cold. You can give her over the counter medicine to help with fever and her throat. I would give her soup and bland food for meals and lots of water!
