MIL might be released from the hospital today, back to the nursing home. We're worried and think it's too soon. She's better but still weak.

Ds was sent home sick today. Poor guy. Some kinda tummy bug (or bad cafeteria food?). He even got sick in my car (in a bag) going home.

Oh goodie. A blizzard warning.

MIL is doing much better! Her voice is even getting stronger. Wish they'd done this a long time ago. Hoping to have her out of there soon!

Untrustworthy

I'm upset. Ds came home all frustrated and unhappy. He said he was taken to the nurse's office this morning, and accused of lying. He said his para told him he was "untrustworthy."

What the heck?! He was all confused, and didn't understand what it was all about. I've gotten bits and pieces of the story, but I don't understand the whole thing myself. I know part of it was that he was supposed to call me from the nurse's office yesterday. Which he did. And the nurse called me too. But apparently they are saying he didn't call. (I have voicemail and missed calls on my cell to prove that he did.)

I don't know how this relates to his hurt foot? The nurse assured me it wasn't that bad. Some Tylenol, ice pack, raise it up, and time. He seemed a bit better today, but I gave him some Ibuprofin this morning. It should have lasted all day. He was walking on it better today. So what's going on with the school?

I'll tell you, it's making me see red that they called him "untrustworthy!" Huh??? The staff that lies to me and hangs up on me and threatens me and withholds information from me, accuses my son of being untrustworthy??? If I trusted every word that EVER came out of my son's mouth, I'd be far better off than if I trusted one sentence that came out of their mouths!!

Grrrrrr!

And why the hell didn't anyone call me if there was something going on, and if they had questions about whether or not he called me?

This boy is incredibly confused about what happened. He is NOT lying about this. If he was supposed to do something, and didn't, then he didn't understand. He is baffled. And so am I.

The end of the school year can't come fast enough for me.
