This is going to be a Long Weekend

Well, let me start with this - I have seen Isaac when he has the flu. I have seen him when he has colds. I was even there when he had pnoemonia. But yesterday when I picked him up from school he told me he had a real bad headache. I brought him home - not really thinking anything abou it gave him an Excedrin and after a while he felt better. Then this morning - I take him to school. At 12 the nurse calls me and tells me he has a fever of over 102. I almost choked. I can not stand the thought of him being sick or in pain. I told her I would be there immediately. By the time I got there - his fever was over 103. Now I was really freaking out. I called my Meemaw (she has been there for sick kids-this is my first rodeo). She told me what to do and what medicine to give him and when. Even told me to write it all down in case we need to go to the hospital. While I was listening to her tell me what to do for my son - the whole time I was thinking what would I do without her. I don't have family of my own. I have had foster parents (several) but none truly perminant family. I knew a long time ago I loved her like a mother. But when she talks me off the cliff when it comes to things that are way over my head -it is just verified even more. She has 2 sons - I think I am her long lost daughter. LOL. I am now happy to report after her coaching and calling to remind me to give medicine or more juices - Isaac now has a fever of 99 and we could not be happier. For this and every time she helps me out or teaches me another new thing about Isaac or about life itself - I love her even more.
