Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Nick insisted on getting to school on time. He could barely walk to the van so I told him I would carry him into school so he didnt have to walk. But once we got to the school and Nick saw all the kids getting off the buses, he refused to let me carry him. We went to the nurses office and talked it over with her and she told Nick to come down to her for his hot water bottle as often as he needed to. He was such a trooper, he had to make quite a few trips to her office to lay down with his bottle, but he stuck it out and lasted all day. I did call and check on him and the nurse said his ankles were pretty sore but he was handling it well. He's having a quiet night watching TV, its MTX night and i have upped his relafen so i hope those both help. I have to share with you something said as we were driving to school. He looked so sad, and worn out. We talked about how unfair it was having arthritis and how he hoped it would go away. Nick then said that he knew that there would be a cure this year, " i just know it, mom " he said. I did'nt have the heart to squish his hope. Once I was alone in the van I had a good cry and felt better. Somedays, it just drains all the drive and fight you have in you.... hugs Helen and (9,systemic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
