Emmett’s not been having a good week in regards to school. He’s been in a fever flare for going on a week now and that’s likely contributing to his struggles.

As crazy as it sounds, I hadn’t put two and two together until this morning. He’s been doing well since returning to his old school.

This morning he woke up not feeling well and I tried to help him work through it but he’s miserable, so I let him go back to sleep. The antivirals haven’t really helped reduce this particular flare yet and he’s still in a lot of pain. At least he can find some relief if he sleeps.

I called the school and Emmett will do on today’s work when he wakes up.

There’s a lesson learned on my part. He cannot come off the antivirals yet. Maybe as he gets older we can try it again but clearly now isn’t the right time.
