Mumps Not the Word

I called the clinic today to find out if they had heard anything back on Kaitlyn's lab results. I told them I wanted to know for sure if she had the mumps or not for her medical records. They called me back and left a message that said she tested positive for immunity to mumps (so her immunizations as a baby definitely worked) and she does not currently have mumps. So, I don't know what she had. The swelling went down in her neck almost immediately the next day. Kaitlyn did say she had this weird salty taste in her mouth on the side that the swelling was on and that the 2nd night, her ear felt like it did something weird like pop and she thought some drainage came out. I asked the nurse about that and she said that it could have been her ear finally releasing the pressure it had been under from the swelling. Anyway, the z-pack and the steroids have been working and she seems to be much better (and she hasn't threatened to kick my *** yet from the steroids). Although she did mention that the other day at school, people seemed to be running into her in the halls alot and she wanted to punch someone......

I'm glad Kaitlyn does not have the mumps. Kimberly gets the urge to kick slow people walking down the hallway and she is not even on steriods. :-)
