As with preschool, 2nd day wasn’t quite as good as 1st day. We got there a bit later, so all the handicapped spaces were full, so I just parked where I wasn’t supposed to (like all the other freak parents). Maria fell asleep last night at about 6pm, when I took her to bed at 7:30 or so, she was completely stuffed up–that fast! I put her to bed with the humidifier, kept checking her and she never ran a fever, slept well, seemed ok this morning, so I took her to school.
One of the special ed teachers called me from the nurse’s office at 12:30pm because Maria’s eyes were bouncing a lot (nystagmis–don’t know how to spell that, too lazy to look it up), and she’s seen that be a precursor to seizures, so she just wanted me to know. Maria slept some in the late morning, didn’t eat much. So of course, I was kinda freaked all afternoon, carrying around my phone in case they called to have me come get her.
When I went to pick her up, she looked great! Although she smelled like shit. Literally. Got her home and the poop had been there a while, it was a little dried. I mentioned it to the not-so-great aide and I mentioned it in Maria’s communication book, so I hope it won’t happen again. But anyway, the aide told me the kids in the general ed class at the end of the day noticed that Maria was awake today! (Yesterday she fell asleep for the last 20 min of school). She was bright-eyed and happy to see me, funny, and so cute!
One of the teachers told me that Maria’s feet were ice cold. Yesterday they took her shoes and socks off because they thought she was hot, so today I sent her in sandals and no socks. Of course her feet were freezing. Darn it! Poor thing with popsicle toes…
She stayed awake again until 6pm, ate well for Sue, drank, took her medicine. She was stuffed up again, but seems to be feeling ok. Now what will tomorrow bring? I can tell you, it’s a bloody mad house dropping off and picking up. Some of those parents are idiots. (probably thinking the same about me…) Oh crap, we have speech therapy at 7:30am. I really don’t think that’s going to work for us; fortunately she has some open spots in the late afternoon.
