School

Alex woke up from his impromptu nap, and was ready for school. I spent the first 30 minutes of class cleaning the toys in the classroom with the help of a good friend. The reason? One of the kids in another class got the flu mist, which spreads live vaccine everywhere the child goes. Normal healthy individuals can fight off the weakened virus, but in immuno-compromised children, the virus can take hold, and could ultimately take a life.

Since Alex cannot get the flu shot for another 2 1/2 weeks, he is especially vulnerable.

But I digress....

Alex did great for about half the class - then, his tummy started hurting, and the tears started flowing. The rest of the class time was spent with Alex on my lap, holding my hand, or clinging to my leg.

The wave of nausea has subsided for now, and Alex actually ate some dinner (along with another dose of Zofran). He is outside with Eric and Tessa-Lynn working on a giant string spider web around our oak tree...
