My delivery of assorted scissors arrived yesterday and amongst them there were two that I found to be excellent. I do intend to go through and explain to you what is so wonderful about them, but yesterday wasn’t the day to get it all prepared.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I had a different day than I had planned as The Gymnast woke and immediately started vomiting. She also had a cough that sounded very much like croup, though at her age, she’s actually getting a little old for croup. <\/p>\n
She quickly deteriorated and by about 9am, I was extremely concerned for her. She was probably the sickest I have ever seen her. We had a doctor’s appointment at 10am, and if I hadn’t been able to get an appointment so early in the day I would have taken her straight to the hospital. The doctor said it was a virus (never surprised to hear a doctor say this!) and that if she hadn’t passed urine by 2pm, I was to take her to the hospital as they would need to put her on a drip.<\/p>\n
As soon as we arrived home from the doctor’s, we started on the rehydration in earnest. Even before The Gymnast had started rehydration, she seemed to pick up – she was much more responsive and was keeping her eyes open. Because she was so much more engaged, she decided that every ten minutes she would have a sip of drink, and slightly increase the quantity every time. By 2pm she still hadn’t passed urine, but she was SO much better, I knew that the danger had passed.<\/p>\n
Apart from the fact that she was so terribly unwell, and that it all happened so quickly, today is the Thursday before Easter, and for us, that means Crazy Hair Day. The Stanton family is renown at our school for being highly competitive on Crazy Hair Day, and there is one teacher in particular who always comments in an assembly beforehand that great things are expected of the Stantons.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night when The Gymnast had been fine except for a sore throat, we did a test run of this year’s crazy hair. She was very happy with it, and found it extremely comfortable to wear. But yesterday, it didn’t seem very likely that we would be taking part.<\/p>\n
Last night The Gymnast kept dinner down (very bland, mostly carbohydrates, and no protein). This morning she is all bright and happy, and pushing for the idea of heading to school JUST for the crazy hair parade. I’m rather torn. I KNOW that she’s not really well enough, and she may not cope with even just being at school for an hour. I don’t believe that she’s still contagious with her virus, and if I had any inkling that she was, we definitely would not be going anywhere near the school! <\/p>\n
But on the other hand she REALLY wants to go, and I think that the teachers would be really disappointed if there was no Stanton entry this year. So I think I will leave it until about an hour before the parade to make my final decision.<\/p>\n
For those of you who have not been reading White Threads long enough to have heard about our previous crazy hair exploits and therefore do not understand why we have such a reputation, check out my previous posts on crazy hair day: So today I still probably won’t get the chance to write an informative post about scissors for you, but hopefully soon. For those who celebrate Easter, I hope that this Easter is a wonderful time of reflection and celebration of a God who loves us beyond measure, and his plan to save us. For those who are unfamiliar with the Easter story, you can read about it in Mark 14-16<\/a> of the Bible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My delivery of assorted scissors arrived yesterday and amongst them there were two that I found to be excellent.
