Decisions, decisions, decisions. After a long struggle, I'm glad to say that sending Ethan back to school was the right decision. Ethan's pediatrician wanted him to stay away from school just a bit longer to help Ethan recover. Ethan’s pulmonologist advised that it was fine to send him back since we have a few days left of school and we are taking precautions. I know that I can’t shelter Ethan forever plus Ethan is so happy being in school with his teachers and his classmates. Ethan’s doctors said for us to take precautions…like keeping him away from “sick folks”, washing his hands and face, changing his clothes when we come from outside, keeping him inside when it’s harsh out, and so many other items on their list. Now, I can abide by some of the items but it’s difficult to control outside influences.
Ethan’s first day back to school ~ he was smothered by his classmates. I know that Ethan was just as happy to see them again.
Ethan's second day of school ~ field day and it was so hot. It was difficult to keep him from joining his classmates in going outside to play. We only went out to plant some flowers; however, it was way too hot to allow Ethan to stay outside much longer. Thank goodness that we had to leave early to take grandmother places...Ethan was just as happy to see his Yai. My son did not fuse during the seven hours that it took to get things done for Yai. One, Ethan was so tired that he had fallen asleep and two, he had his two beautiful cousins to keep him company.
Ethan's third day of school, TGIF. After being such a good boy yesterday while helping grandma, I needed to treat Ethan with a special trip to McDonald's. Ethan picked our table and boy, he was just as delighted to be there as I was to watch him shine. We made it through three days of school and under harsh environment too...the classroom, the heat, the smothering, the ER, and the special trip to McDonald's.
Not taking anything for granted ~ thank goodness that my son is such a fighter!
