On Tuesday morning, Chase said his cough and sore throat were worse so he texted Mama to see if he could stay home from school. Mama said yes and that she would call the school and the doctor's office. She called Nanaw and said she made an appointment with the nurse practitioner for 9:30. The nurse practitioner (NP) was named Carissa (Nanaw thought that was a pretty name) was a young woman, very pretty and very nice. Chase grinned the whole time he was there so Nanaw decided he had noticed how pretty and young and nice she was. Good for Chase! They did some throat swabs and discovered Chase had strep throat, something he's never had. The other throat swab showed that he didn't have Covid, flu or RSV. Carissa prescribed amoxicillin and gave Chase a note for school and said he could go back to school tomorrow. Nanaw fixed chicken rice soup for Chase's lunch, then went to pick up his prescription. Chase worked on his English review study guide about verbs and prepositions and lots of other parts of speech, with a concentration on verbs for the verb test on Friday. Chase will be in Cincinnati on Friday for a hockey tournament so he'll take the test on Monday. Hr finished his vocabulary packet and will turn it in Wednesday. He has a Lord of the Flies test on Thursday, and Nanaw gave him things to study tonight in addition to the study guide but she doesn't think he'll do it. So after school tomorrow, they'll go through the study guide and maybe the worksheets if there's time.
