More School Nurse Tirades

My week in review:

Monday... Alex goes into school.. gets on the bus at 8:05, School starts at 8:30 - by 9AM I have a phone call to go pick him up. He has thrown up. I have to wake up the baby, put her in clothes. Bundle her up. Go to the school and get him.

He does throw up later in the day but seems to be fine.

Tuesday - I keep him home all day, we go to the doctor for a well visit & physical. He has no symptoms of being sick.

Wednesday - Alex goes to school.... I drive to the post office with my daughter. On the way home from the post office she throws up all over my van. I clean it up and clean her up, give her a bath, and put her in Pajamas (Jay-Jays as she calls them). She goes down for a nap. No sooner is she sleeping, the phone rings and its the nurse.... He has thrown up and I need to go pick him up. I bring the baby IN PAJAMAS but she ends up waking anyways.

Wednesday Night - Kid is sick again in the evening :(

Thursday - We stay home. No sickies all day!

Friday - He goes to school. I go to the post office with my daughter. I get out of my car and I hear a noise. OMG - it is air coming out of my tire! I get back into the car and quickly drive home. My car tire goes flat in my driveway! I call my husband to tell him. He is over an hour away at a client site. I pray that Alex is fine at school. At 1:50 (School gets out of 2pm) the nurse calls. HE THREW UP. They can't send him on the bus. I can't get him because I'm stuck in my driveway. Too far to walk. Kurt is over an hour away. Relatives are all at least 25 miles away. One of my friends was able to pick him up and bring him to me. In a stupid ice and snow storm, mind you.

Friday night - he was sick again :(

Saturday - all day healthy!

Sunday - hopefully things are looking up. He's still sleeping right now since its 9:30am.
