Tuesday 10, 2018 5:00 AM

We woke up early  to get to the airport, our flight was scheduled at 8:50 AM but it was delayed 1 hour so we could not get to Seattle until 1:00 PM.  William woke up when I tried to put on his jacket and he didn’t fall back to sleep later.  He well-behaved in the airplane: sat on his chair and watched videos and put on his seat belt before I reminded him.  It was only less than 3 hours flight so everything went good.

 

First Day Of Staying Full Day At The Daycare

Posted on by MICHELLE N
He smiled at me when he saw me.

Mon 7/9/2018 Summer school ended last Friday so this week William will start to stay at the day care full day instead of half day like when he had school in the morning.

I made some noise that woke him up; he sat up and then said “Wake up!”; what a nice way to start a new morning.  Before dropping him off I fed him some chocolate cereal and orange juice.  Ms. Jeannie was supposed to be at the day care from 9 – 12:00.

He sat in the little car but I did not see him so asked Ms. Chastity, she didn’t see him in the play ground either so we started to look around.  Finally we found him in a little red car.

 

Last Week Of Summer School 2018

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Monday morning 8:00 AM.  Dropped William off on time.  He started to scratch him eyes again, I put some Aquaphor cream on his eyes.  There was only Ms. De Leon and the teacher aid that were receiving all the classmates at the gate so they were busy holding hands of other children while waiting for other childen.  William sat on the ground with both hands touching the ground, and the teachers did not seem to notice.  Few minutes later when they started to walk, that’s when William stood up and walked with the group, I guess to the cafeteria.

11:00 AM, got a call from Mrs. Gloria from school, saying William was scratching his eyes so bad that she gave him a dose of Benadryl.  She called to let me know that.

11:52 AM, got another call from Mrs. De Leon while I was driving to school, saying his eyes didn’t get better.  I told her I was on the way.

He looked sleepy when I picked him up at his class.  When we got home, he laid on my thigh several times.  So I cancelled his Speech therapy session at 1:30 PM.

Not sure what’ s going on with his eyes but he’s been scratching his eyes for the last few weeks.  Some days it’s worse, some days it’s better.  But his left eye lid always look swollen and red.

 

William’s morning look; he’s always handsome in my eyes 🙂

 

Last day of school. I picked William’s medicine at the office and then stopped by the room on the way out. William was watching the movie with his peers.

Fever Is Gone, Thanks God!

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Sunday 6 AM. William woke up early at 6:00; I touched his forehead and his fever was gone!  I’m so relieved because I was so worried that he had to skip school.  We took a walk around the neighborhood and then went to church.  He felt asleep during the mass, I guess because of the Benadryl that I gave him before going to the church.

Played in the back yard

Later in the afternoon he wanted to go to water park but it was too late, the water park would be closed by the time we arrived so we took him to the beach instead.  He walked with us to go near the water which is a big improvement because before he’d refuse to go near the water.

Ready to take a walk around the neighborhood. He loves to take the cards with him everywhere (he put the cards in the bucket)
I turned on the light, he loved it so much that he let the tassels touched his face. Minutes later he started to scratch his cheeks so I gave him some Benadryl.

He loved it that I put sand over his feet.

Fever!

Posted on by MICHELLE N
William looked tired; poor my little baby boy!

Friday Night.

While William was  eating yogurt after dinner, he threw up!  His forehead was warm to the touch.  Soon later, his temp raised to 102.6 so I gave him 7.5 ml of the Children Tylenol Fever & Pain Reliever.  His temp decreased later to 101.2  and he felt asleep. His eyes are still swollen and I put some Aquaphor cream on it.

Saturday Morning.  William woke up around 7 AM.  His temp risen back to 102.3 so I gave him another dose of Tylenol.  He acted very normal later: play, watch ipad, run around, eat lunch.   He played with water in our garden for about 15 minutes then I took him to shower and had lunch.

Saturday 2 PM.  Another dose of Tylenol; he looked sleepy but somehow he could not sleep.  Later afternoon around 5 PM, I fed him some sweet cake,  smoothie yogurt, some french fries.  Then we played for half an hour in the garden.  He peed in his pants so I gave him another shower with warm water with hoping that could lower his temp.

8 PM, his temp rose again to 102 therefore another dose of Tylenol.  He had a bottle of milk and felt asleep around 9:30 PM.

Hopefully he’ll feel better tomorrow so that I can go to school.   In order to go to school one has to be fever free for at least 24 hours.

 

In our garden

There’s something on his right leg that is getting bigger. Not sure what that is.

Pick Up Breakfast?

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Wednesday Morning.  We were a little bit late today; Ms. DeLeon and Mrs. Birdie already went in to class so I took him in.   At the corner where we need to make a right turn to his class, he stopped and pulled my hand to go to the other way.  It’s the way to the cafeteria!  Every morning the teacher would take him and his classmates  to the cafeteria, so he knows the routine.   His teacher aid saw him and walked with us to the cafeteria to pick up breakfast.  She said “he’s one of the independent students!”.  I’m so happy that my boy adapted so well only after 3 weeks at the new school.

William and his breakfast. We’re so proud of you!
Getting his special meal. Because he is allergic to peanuts so he has special mean prepared for him.
Waiting patiently for his breakfast.

3rd Week of Summer School

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Monday morning 8:00 AM.  It’s 3rd week of Summer School already.  William seems to be fine with everything.  When we approached Mrs. Birdie, he reached out for her hands immediately and turned around and waved Bye to me.

William likes to touch the numbers and letters on the bus

It’s Saturday, Library Time

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Saturday morning, We took William to Central Library for Book Reading but they canceled because they have Book Festival so we let William use the computer instead.

He played the song One, Two, Buckle My Shoes so many times and refused to listen to other songs.

He made loud noise so I told him “Be quiet!”, he repeated after me and said “Shhhh” but yet he continued make loud noise! 🙂
