Gavin collapsed at school yesterday and didn't tell us until today

Gavin collapsed at school yesterday and didn't tell us until today

So this is how my day is going so far. .....

I slept like crap and so I'm not in a really good mood. Right before Gavin leaves for school this morning, he decides that now would be a great time to let me know that he *collapsed *while at school yesterday.

Are you fucking kidding me? How does that not register as something we should have known yesterday or for that matter, the moment it happened?

All the conversation we had yesterday with Gavin about his day and he just *forgot *to tell us about this.....

I asked him what his teachers did and he explained that he *never told them.*

Basically, Gavin explained that he was walking and his legs just stopped working. He fell to the floor briefly but was able to get himself back up after a few minutes.

He simply went in with his day as though nothing had happened.

I swear to God that my mother f'in head is going to explode. I don't understand how he could simply carry on as though nothing had happened. Why doesn't it register with him that something like his legs not working is a major, major problem?

This is just one of the things that make helping him so difficult and frustrating.

I'm calling the school and telling them to keep a closer eye on him. I'm also letting them know what happened yesterday.

Breathe in and breathe out. That's all I can do at the moment.
