Sick?

So I got to school today and was feeling fine. By 7:50, I was beginning to wonder if I needed to drink more water or something. I was really light headed and hot (which, if you know me at all, is not like me) and I decided to lie down in the Social Skills room, the bonus classroom next to ours that my mental health staff use for their therapy, office, etc. It is conveniently equipped with a couch. After 20 minutes or so, I was feeling better, so I headed back to class. By the time I sat down in my room, I was hot and dizzy again. On the way back to the couch, I called Mommy, who wisely insisted that we go to the doctor. Because I was feeling so lightheaded and nauseous, she came to pick me up. My fabulous staff called a sub and ran the class all day without me. They are the best.

Mommy and I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was fine, my temperature was fine, and my sweet baby's heartbeat was normal. Their best guess was that I have a stomach bug, and suggested I sleep and try to drink a lot of fluids. Mommy was wonderful and took the day off to take me home and take care of me. It's been years since she picked me up at school to take me to the doctor. :-) Lots of ginger ale and a nap later, and I feel mostly better, just totally exhausted. I never did actually throw up, so it doesn't seem like a stomach bug after all. Who knows?

Happy to be mostly healthy again, and sooooo thankful that the baby doesn't seem to be affected at all. He kept nudging and flipping through the whole thing. Little trooper. :-D
