oldest child coughing all night. temperature in the morning and not cured by nurofen for kids immediately....so call school bus, no school today. yesterday i had to leave work to pick him up at lunchtime as he had fallen asleep at school and was quite flushed..... but had hoped it would be a 24 hour one.
is a pain as today he had dentist* at school and a social worker visit. make calls all round including to work; put I plus girls in car, drop girls at school, return home, put tv cbeebies on and computer. check work emails.
is working parent nightmare, with holiday leave days running out before year end and no day time carer to call on (I know one who is definitely busy today...). Not to mention the lack of sleep issue which makes going to work harder anyway.
oh well. hopefully he will be back to school tomorrow. and virus won't go round, cross fingers.
*I attends a wonderful specialist autism school, which besides everything else has a visiting dentist (special needs paeadiatric dentist) and dentist room with dentist chair etc.
the dentist works with the children and their one to one workers to develop the skills needed for a dental inspection - sitting on the chair, tolerating the lights, tolerating mouth inspection and - this one is hard for I - actually opening mouth wide for inspection. Each small step can be hard for a child with autism and extreme sensory issues.
a vital life skill.
