I really did try to get my kids to go to school this morning. Really! Chris insisted that his throat hurt and that he was really nauseous all night. Zach had been sneezing and coughing a lot yesterday. The main reason they stayed home, though, was because I couldn't figure out how to get them up. I even washed Chris' face and it didn't help.
I called the doctor and had the nurse call me back. I described they symptoms both of the boys had been having all week last week.
She told me that they probably did have swine flu....that it's really spreading fast. She told me that about ninety percent of the kids that have been in the office lately have had swine flu and that it isn't really that big of a deal. She said that if they didn't have a fever for 24 hours that they would be fine to go back to school.
So, tomorrow, they're going to school.
I called my dentist, too. My tooth has really been bugging me. I think it's effecting how I think and everything. They had me scheduled to come in after ten.
I decided to go jog my mile before I went to the dentist, so I went to the Y, then came back home to check on the boys. I called them in sick, then went to my dentist appointment.
The dentist took some x-rays and said it didn't look like I had an abscess and he said I already had a root canal on that tooth.
They had to take more pictures, but finally they saw something, I think, because they put me on antibiotics and codeine. He told me to come back in a week so he can see how I'm doing. I'm glad I might not have to get a cap, but I had it all figured out how I was going to pay that dentist bill.
I canceled Chris' appointment for a med eval. He hasn't had any more anxiety attacks, anyway, so maybe he doesn't need meds. Besides, I couldn't wake him up.
Then, Z came over. It had been a couple of months since we took care of him. He's still a good boy.
I spent a couple of hours while he was here, trying to get Chris to do his homework. Wow, that's hard. Not the homework. That's fairly easy. What's hard is getting him to do it. I had to handfeed him his algebra questions while he was trying to watch a movie.
Then, one of his assignments was too write twenty facts about a famous Hispanic person. I looked up notable Hispanic/Americans and saw that Jaci Valesquez was one of them, so I clicked on her name.
I love her singing. I have a couple of her CDs. It was fun finding out that she's made so many and won so many awards. I hope Chris gets that assignment done tonight.
