Week 4 of School

[Guest guest]

I am glad that I came back and with even better news than before.

September 11 - we were not allowed to leave the house for fear that Bin Laden

would see us and get us, he freaked when I went to get the mail thinking there

was a bomb in it. I am going to strangle all those little 7th graders that put

some of this foolishness in dear sons head. Meanwhile, he is sick and really

needs to be seen by a doc, but absolutely refuses to leave house. I gave over

the counter meds until we could leave again.

September 12 - everything is save and sorta back to normal. Husband is still

away camping - have every intention of taking Dear Son to Walgreens walk-in for

strep test but husband calls and says please take to urgent care so he will see

a real doc okay - Danny agrees so after he show that he has to watch we go -

well believe it or not he does not have strep - he has ear infections in both

ears and one is really really bad - the kind that can rupture. So she gives him

the antibiotic of my choice after a lot of begging I know what works with my kid

but they don't always agree with me. So on the way to Jewel/Osco he is itching

like crazy I said do you have hives he pulls his shirt down and says no, I said

let me look at your arm - sure enough we once again have HIVES. So now it boils

down to this - he has double ear infections, 101.4 fever, hives, sore throat,

and cruddy nose.

September 13 - no school for dear son not fever free for 24 hours - in school

bylaws- think I am the only parent that sticks to it, but if I don't keep him

home he will be miserable and make the rest of the class miserable, and he

signed the bylaws so he knows he can't go to school. I might let him go to

scouts tonight if he keeps his fever down without meds - we will see he is

sleeping still. Had to change his clothes last night as they were wet from

sweat.

Have been driving this other girl to school so now I still have to do that. Oh

well she gets my jammies with a sweat shirt over them too. I don't have to go

into the school just need to call him in sick.

What a year he has been having I can't believe he is getting ear infections at

the age of 12, oh well what does a mom know - I need a nap.
