Owww.... I'm not having fun today.

First I went to the doctor Friday and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Fever and coughing didn't go down, so I went back Monday for another antibiotic shot. This has triggered my asthma, so I'm using a nebulizer every 4 hours too.

I'm still coughing today and everytime I cough too hard, it triggers my vomiting. I can't keep ANY food down today, and I don't know if it is due to morning sickness (which has become morning, noon and night sickness this week) or the antibiotics I am taking. My throat and stomach muscles are so sore, and I just want to cry! Wah!

This is the only positive I can think of: http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE56U6LR20090731
This kid better be a F&%%&**& genius after the last few days, is all I have to say about it. I'm going to ask my OB if there is anything she can give me to help with this nausea though...

Fox's Parent/teacher conference is tomorrow. His teacher is recommending "interventions" and I am too tired and miserable to be a good momma lion and stand against her. I'm so exhausted.

Interventions? That sounds ominous.

Well, we had to put it off until next week since I've been sick.

I don't know details, but apparently being able to recognize all his letters and their phonetics isn't enough in kindegarten anymore. His teacher is concerned he will fall behind because he isn't able to recognize enough sight words (note that he CAN sound them out quite well, but apparently he must be able to instantly recognize them. She is upset because I would prefer he sound out the words phonetically and refuse to drill him with flash cards.)

So now she is threatening to have him pulled out of class three times a week specifically so someone else will force him to memorize sight words. My response is that learning to read phonetically will serve him better in the long term and I don't want him pulled out of class... Grrr. Wish we could afford a Montessori school and avoid all the NCLB crap!
