I thought yesterday was one of the worst days in a LONG time preceded by another horrible gloomy weekend inside. Grace was giving me a hard time from the start. Screaming in the shower and while we got dressed- during breakfast. Breakfast ended with her throwing her yogurt bowl at me!!!!!!! That has never happened before!!! I had blueberry yogurt on every piece of clothing I had on!
Her councilor Rachelle pointed out to me after school that there was a huge buildup in her ears and suggested I take her to the doctor. I couldn't get her in yesterday so Chris cleaned them out as best as he could.
It turns out the doctor said her ears were good!!! But her throat was bad so he took a culture and it came back STREP!!!
Chris always refers to strep as feeling like you swallowed a spikey golf ball and I have found that to be extremely accurate.
So I imagine that if I had a spikey golf ball in my throat and I couldn't tell anyone what was wrong- I'd throw my yogurt bowl too!!!!!
I feel so bad for her sometimes. We have coached her to say my tummy hurts or head hurts but not " my throat hurts". Just imagine. Try not talking but still having to communicate your needs for just 2 hours and see how you feel. I bet you'd end up throwing your yogurt bowl too. Sometimes I have to step back and look at her behavior and think why she doing this instead of getting upset. You DO learn something new everyday.
