Well, I just returned from taking Brandon to school and it was his worst morning yet, kind of traumatic. I had to get him out from the back of the van and use all my strength to get him into his car seat and buckled. He doesn't want to go to school. I had to pry him out of his car seat once we got to the school and take him in. I got him back to his classroom and he started crying really loud and he went and found a corner by a bookcase to hide and cry. I gave him one more hug and kiss and he didn't want to let go of me.
The first 3 days of school went great, but on the fourth day he started having some difficulty. Monday night a week ago he had a little accident that landed him in the E.R. I didn't know it, but he was jumping on the couch and he fell on his neck on the edge of an end table. I was in the kitchen and I came around the corner and found Brandon with both hands clutching his neck and a delayed scream. He had a red line the whole way accross his neck and was crying and he said it hurt really bad. Thankfully Patrick was just walking in the door, so I took Brandon to the hospital with Cara sitting right beside him to make sure he was breathing okay. They took him in pretty quick and put in and IV so that they could inject him with iodine for a CT Scan and thankfully it came back normal. Anyway, I kept him home from school that Tuesday and then Wednesday he said his tummy hurt so he didn't make it to school that day. So, he went in on Thursday and every day since then he has not been happy to go to school. He spent about an hour under the table and one of the guidance counselors came and talked him out. Once he gets over the initial separation in the morning then he is fine the rest of the day. I saw him at lunch several days, either I was helping out or I went in just to have lunch with him, and he was fine and had no problem saying goodbye to me after lunch. So, please pray that it gets easier for him (and mom). He told me that he wants to stay home with me and it breaks my heart to see him so upset.
