Sick Again

Charlie had to go to Office Depot last night. I wanted to go with him so I could look at color printers. Our current printer is printing crud on the side of the page so we stopped using it. I called the Office Depot Service Plan people and they are going to send us a UPS label to send them the printer back. Once they receive the printer, they will send us a gift card for the amount we spent on the printer so we can go buy a new one. Sounds pretty good to me! Anyway, Tabitha was at work and Michael didn't want to go, so Charlie and I went. Well, apparently, Michael freaked out because it got dark so quickly, so he called and wanted to know when we would be home... this was about 20 minutes after we left. I told him we would be looking around for about 15 to 20 more minutes and then we would be headed home. Michael called about 10 minutes later...
"Is Tabitha home?".
"No, she's at work."
"Isn't it against the law to leave me home alone when its dark outside?"
You gotta love that one.
"It is after 7:00pm."
It was 6:00pm.
By the time we checked out... stopped by the post office to pick up our mail, and got home, Michael was a wreck. He was stressed out about his homework... he had a lot of it and he needed help. We were gone too long... (about 15 minutes more than we had originally stated)... and now he had a migraine.
Jeez.
We pushed through the science homework. The math, spelling, and Helen Keller report didn't happen. Michael took an acetaminophen and Zantac and went to sleep.

I started trying to wake him up at 6:00am this morning. He wasn't having it. I reminded him he had to get his homework done. He wasn't having it. He finally got up a little after 7:00am. He got his math and spelling done, but not the Helen Keller report. I wrote the teacher a note about his migraine and could he have more time to complete the paper. I thought that would be good enough for Michael, but no... he didn't want to go to school. He had a feeling something bad was going to happen. So, I made my son walk to school crying to me on the walkie-talkie the whole way... his head hurt, his stomach hurt, he felt hot, etc, etc, etc. I stood firm. He went to school.

I arrived at Therapy Solutions at 10:30am as Emily had requested. She doesn't like to get to work too early. At 11:45 Larson called and said her son Austin was in the nurse's office. His head and stomach hurt. I asked if Michael was in the nurse's office too and was told no. So, Emily went to pick up Austin and take him home. I worked on her QuickBooks while she was gone. Emily came back and we went to lunch a little after 1:00pm. Larson called me on the way back from lunch. Michael was in the nurse's office. His head and stomach hurt. I dropped Emily off and went to pick up Michael. I got him home, made him eat a piece of bread and gave him an Imitrex for the migraine. He slept until a little after 5:00pm and was ready to tackle his homework! Yay!!!

He's still going back and forth with the stomach and head ache, but he's not having any problem with light and sound anymore. Maybe we will have a normal morning... maybe?
