It's been over a week since difficult child had all the blood work done.
Called Dr. today. One test was still out, others were all normal.
The test that is out was some neurogical blood test. Don't know if
I heard him correct. Said looking for things like Lupus and the other things
he said I didn't understand. But, no headaches this week that required any medication.
School - as I posted many times School and difficult child are like water and oil. He has hated school from day one. Including pre-school. His elementary school was very large, 700+ kids. Middle school over 1000. I spent most days at school.
High School - we chose a small Technical School. 380 kids total. (now the district high school is a block away with 3000 kids) All his friends went to the large school. Today, he came home and said "I love school".
I almost fell off my chair. Never has he ever come close to even LIKING school. I know it has only been 4 days and there are many more to go, but first time ever. Still, holding my breath.
difficult child's friend (girl) was hit by a car crossing the street to the high school a block away. She was taken to Childrens Hospital in Milwaukee with serious brain injury. difficult child talked to her cousin who lives with her. She is in a coma. The driver...hit and run. Found the car with front end damage and windshield damage in the school parking lot. The 16 year old driver hit her and went and parked the car and went to class like nothing happened. he was arrested. difficult child said he is sad. Afraid she may not wake up. Then again sad if she does what may be wrong with her. This is actually on the internet. (google Kenosha Tremper Student)
Then....a friend, whom I have been close to for many, many years has a daughter the same age as difficult child. He often goes over there. The daughter goes to a very small charter school and they are very strict with her. difficult child was there and the girl opened the silverware drawer and found a bag of pot and a pipe. She told difficult child she saw her mom smoking the pipe and didn't know what it was. She asked difficult child if it was pot. They opened it and difficult child said yep. Now he knows kids that smoke, sees it at school. difficult child said girl is really mad. She isn't allowed to talk on the phone, internet or wear make-up and her mom does this. difficult child asked if I knew. I did, but I really don't want to get involved in this. Due to some unkind words directed at me I haven't spoken to them in 5 months. I was tempted to go give them a heads up on what happened. But afraid of sticking my nose where it shouldn't be. husband jumped in and redirected the conversation when difficult child asked if I knew. he never persued an answer.
so..for now, difficult child has no headaches, likes school and even stayed home on a Friday night. He IS upset about his friend though.
