Ross 0 - Floor 1

Well, I haven't posted in a while because I have been up to my armpits in sick children.

Owen was sick Labor Day weekend, which didn't matter anyway since Hurricane Gus made it a soggy mess. He ran a 2 1/2 day fever.

Then after one day back at school, Ross woke up at 3 am Thursday morning with a fever too. He was home Thursday and Friday. By Sunday he was better and ready to play. So, on Monday I sent him to school. About 9:30 that morning I got the call from Nurse Cathy. Ross had fainted in the bathroom after P.E.

Ross spent all of P.E. running the track to get marks. (If you get a certain number of marks, you get a little foot to wear on your shoe. The more laps you run, the more marks, the more diffrent color little feet. Ross wants to beat his lap total from last year.) After P.E. Ross' class went to the bathroom. Ross says that he was really hot and felt dizzy. The next thing he knew, he was on the floor and Andrew Chandler was looking at him funny.

I picked Ross up and we went straight to Dr. Huetteman. She thinks the combination of Ross running and being hot and slightly dehydrated from his virus all made him light-headed. He must have hit his head because he had a bruise on his forehead. Luckily, he is very hard-headed. LOL

Anyway, so after another day of rest and fluids and a note to sit out P.E. on Tuesday, Ross is back to school and I hope back to normal. P.E. has been over for 30 minutes and no phone calls, so ...
