As a teacher it is quite often more trouble to be home sick than it is to just go in to work; sick. However, when it comes to my kids, I'll deal with the trouble and the work it takes to prepare. Jak surprised us all this morning with rosy cheeks and complaining that his tummy was hurting. Come to find out, his tummy hurt because of all the coughing he had been doing. So mommy mode kicks in and I assess the situation. Hot head? Check. Hurt tummy? Check. Droopy eyes? Check. And a clingy boy who wants to lay down and hold onto his mommy. Yep, he's sick. I run up to school with sick boy in-tow to infect everyone else; I mean, prepare for the substitute that may be coming. Jak makes his rounds, and mommy gets set up.
Eventually we found out that it is STREP. Wooo Hooo! Anyone wanna place bets on how long it will take his sister to get sick? Aw c'mon...join in the fun.
I felt so sorry for him today. He just wasn't himself. You could tell he didn't feel well. He'll be better now. Thank you Dr. Baca of S & W Clinic - Killeen.
