What's Up With Wednesday?!

The news just kept getting weirder and weirder by Wednesday. On Tuesday, I got the call from Taryn that she was really ill. She is now feeling much better now after taking the meds her health center gave her, and drinking the electrolyte fluids they provided. The pain in her lower abdomen went away so she is off the watch list - whew! Dodged a bullet there.

But on Wednesday, I got another similar call from Indy! She was in terrible condition and very distressed. I told her to call her student health center and ask them what they could do for her so she wouldn't waste a trip down there if they were just going to send her away. An hour later they hadn't called her back. Her student health center is pretty bad. Taryn's seems to be pretty good - so there you go.

Indy ended up calling around to find someone who didn't have classes that day and they drove around looking for a walk in clinic. They finally found one and Indy staggered in and said she needed to see a dr badly. She ended up being hooked up to an IV, given antibiotics and stuff to stop the nausea and other medications. Poor Indy!

Somewhere in the middle of searching for the clinic, Indy's health center called back. They were closing for lunch and then the dr was only going to be there for another hour, so she was pretty much out of luck so it was a good decision she made to bail the campus and seek emergency medical care elsewhere. Too bad she didn't think to refer to the handy blue notebook I provided that told her where to go in the event she needed a clinic, complete with mapquest directions.

Taryn only has a couple choices and none are on our insurance plan so it doesn't really matter where she ends up going. What a week - My poor babies!! I sure hope Taryn does well on her make up test today, and that Indy's professors will all excuse her absence today as she sleeps and recovers from her illness. They both need to be in good health for final exams next week!!!

My wacky Wednesday yesterday was subbing in the 4 yr old preschool class. Nothing exciting happened. We worked on the parent gift for Christmas. I turned it into a 3 stage snowflake project. First we glitter painted the wooden snowflake. After Chapel we put decorations on it. After recess, I called the kids over one at a time during their "nap" and we put glue and sprinkled tons of glitter all over it. They got to choose what color glitter. I let a couple artistic kids go wild and put all 4 colors on theirs. Their teacher will wonder what happened to her glitter because I do not recycle the leftovers back into containers. Who has time for that?! Plus it got mixed up on the table!! I am just not that careful when I create. Today they will put their photos in the middle and their cute little answers to the questions what is special about themselves, their mom and their dad. I loved the ones that said stuff like Mom makes macaroni & cheese, and dad gives me raspberries; and I like jumping on my bed with my sister. Too precious!!! I do love my job.

After preschool I tried to get out of CWC but they really needed those calls completed so I went in early and knocked it out of the park with the other gal. We had those phones going like crazy and got it done in under 2 hrs. Then they let me go home. Nice! I was tired. I picked the kids up from church and we watched Survivor! What a great evening after a very long day!

I touched base with both my sicklies and they were doing ok, so I was able to rest well. And now I wonder... what will Thursday bring?! Dare I even ask....
