Oh yes, it is the last week of May. Schools are winding down for summer vacation and it is celebrated by FINALS WEEK. What stress, what pressure, what a relief when it is over. How much worse could the last week of May Be? Try getting food poisoning the day before finals.
My poor kid, he has thrown up maybe 3 times in his whole life, ok not counting the first few months he was on the planet. He is a picky eater to say the least and he finally broadens his culinary palette and gets FOOD POISONING! After much research, I discover that one does not call this the stomach flu, no no. That implies it would be caused by the influenza virus..no this is a viral infection that lies in wait in the lower intestine...gross. Highly contagious ( yes wash EVERTHING ) and deadly nasty. So the attack waits until Monday to hit and finals begin on Tuesday morning. The kid has carried a 3.8 GPA all year and the only borderline grades he has going into this are 2 high B's that could change to A's resulting in the much desired and sought after 4.0 GPA. No pressure here.
He can't lift his head off the pillow Tuesday morning , he tried..nope not gonna happen. His fever finally broke Tuesday night around 11:00 and Wednesday morning ( after missing 2 Finals ) does not look much better. This poor kid, he was fortunate ( if one can call it that) enough to be able to schedule 3 for tomorrow and 1 for Friday morning. Dear gracious............this has made me sick!
