I never received a crucial phone call I was supposed to get from the BOE regarding the bus p/u time or the back-up plan should M refuse to go to school, so I planned my morning as best I could with little to no information. I set the alarm for 7:10 am, hoping that would give me enough time to get M up, out of bed, and ready before the bus showed up...IF he would even go.
Unfortunately, M's grandmother (my mother) had made a deal with M...a bribe if you will, that if he was "FEELING BETTER" (crucial words) and went to school today, she'd allow him to sleep over Saturday night and they'd go to Chuck E Cheese's. Without being aware of it (though I was fully aware the moment she said it), she gave M and instant out, and he knew it as he smiled and promised to go to school today, while in the back of his head he was saying, "if I'm feeling better."
Of course, low and behold, M is still feeling "sick" this morning and can not go to school. Big surprise. He's also refusing to take his meds, which is only going to make him sicker and more oppositional. So, he's laying in his bed screaming and working himself up to a rage. The only Seroquel he's had in over 36 hrs is his 100 mg dose last night.
We have a pdoc appt scheduled for 2:45 pm today. It should be fun trying to get M dressed and out the door to that after missing school, raging, and off his meds! And with our 3 yr old in tow nonetheless! Grant me the serenity...
