What a week

Rhett came home from school Monday with a little fever and very lethargic.  He just laid there and didn't move for the longest time.  Well it sure seemed long to me.  I talked with the bus driver and he said that when he got on the bus he was shivering a whole bunch so the bus driver let him have his jacket to keep him warm.  I am so glad that he has such a great bus driver!  So I need for Rhett to get healthy and stay that way until his surgery at least.  Too bad he cannot go to school since they have a policy that you cannot send sick kids to school.  I think it is a great rule and everyone should follow it, since that is normally how kids get sick, they share with other kids.
So every morning I would take his temperature to see if he can go to school and if he still had a fever by Thursday I would take him to the doctors office.  But no matter what day it was he continued to have a fever.  He was up and moving around by Wednesday but with a fever still.  I am grateful that it wasn't a high fever at least.  But he would be zapped of energy by the afternoon and that is with just doing a little homework and resting.  I have no idea how that it is possible to not do very much but still get tired.  Thursday he still had a fever so it was off to the doctors that we went.  He had no sore throat, no ear infection, nothing in his lungs, and no other problems.  So he is thinking that it might be a mild case of the flu, or a virus that we have to wait out.  I was glad that he didn't have something really serious.  But still the doctor agreed that if he still have even a slight fever to keep him home.  So instead of worrying about things we just started to work on the science fair project that he has to turn in Monday at the latest.  The teacher wanted it by Friday but are willing to take it Monday.
By Friday the fever was gone and he was so excited to be able to go to school.  They were going to be doing some very fun things at school and he could hardly wait.  So I sent him on the bus and was grateful that I could do everything that I needed to do.  I ran to one of Rhett's schools to give them the note for him being sick.  As soon as I finished that I raced to the school of Nikole and Gavin to help with a class party for one if the classes there that earned it.  I got there just in time.  As I was helping I couldn't help but wonder how Rhett was doing and all the things that I needed to do.  As soon as I was done helping I took off to go back to the school that I went to first to see if one of Rhett's teachers were available to talk to since I had questions on how to help him.  Lucky for me she was still there and I was able to talk to her and get some help figuring out what I need to do to help him do better.  We had a good talk and then I went to the other school to take the note for Rhett and as soon as I was done I called the doctors office since we have been playing phone tag for a while.  We talked about getting him the Flovent that Rhett needs and also getting another opinion.  As I am driving around thinking about everything that is on my mind and looking for a UPS store.  LOL!  Not like I know where any of them are, which I really don't know.  But I found one and dropped off a package that needed to be sent out.  After that I went running to the store to get more things that Rhett needed for his science fair project.  I was suppose to stop at the car shop again and have something on my car fixed again but I ran out of time and headed home.  I had to head home to help Rhett with his project to see if we could get it done before Monday.  After the store I headed home with Dylan in tow.  We got home and my sister came over to visit with her kids.  We got home and started painting Rhett's project and then Rhett informed me to that his fever is back and he rested all afternoon.  DANG!  I cannot believe I sent him to school and his fever came back!  I am so frustrated.
We finally finished his project now all that he has to do is watch it for 2 days and make up his project board.  Then Monday he will be able to take it to school if he is better and if he is still sick I will take it to his school for him since it is due and it is also required.  He just better be better that is all I have to say.

How is it that this last week was a calm week and I am still feeling like I need to rest and recover from all the stress?

This next week better be better than this for sure!
