On Tuesday (since Monday was MLK and a holiday) Trio went back to school and stayed all day. He was fever free on Thursday of last week so I sent him on Friday *but* they sent him home because he wasn't acting like himself and he had a wet cough. At the time I was pretty upset because I had just fallen asleep and I didn't want to end up in court for truancy. Ultimately I mean I understand why they did it but I was pretty steamed since I was all "It's seriously only been 15 minutes that he has been at school!" When I picked him up though I did see what they meant. He wasn't himself.
But now he seems to be adjusting again which is great. I mean I am over the moon that my soon is better and no longer has a fever because it was scary. This is the longest since year one that he has been sick and also pretty much the first time and I was like Okay what do we do? It gets stuck in this cycle of:
he has a fever--give him medicine--but now he's not fever free without medicine so he can't go to school tomorrow--feeling better in the middle of the day looking good--fever again at night that requires medicine--CRAP!!
So when he was fine with no fever but a wet cough on Friday I just gave him Wal-green's grand Mucinex (because I honestly see no difference between Wal-Green's brand and the high price stuff aside from one is not going to hurt me in the pocket book as much) and he has been right as rain since. Which makes me very happy. ^_^ Especially since his birthday is around the corner and who wants to be sick on their birthday? NO ONE!!
And on that note I will certainly post again about that because it is an imporant one...he's turning 5!!! o.0
