Family Fun Day at school

Well, unfortunately it was not so fun for Jackson this time. He already wasn't feeling well when we were outside waiting for the bus this morning, I think it was just too hot even though it was only 8:15 am. When I got to school he was looking kind of like he did not want to wake up, but also just unhappy in general. He did not feel hot to touch or look flushed though.

Then it was time to go out to the parade, which is a loop around the school. They had his chair very nicely decorated again this year.


After the parade, we had to hurry and get over to the relay race area since Jackson was scheduled to be first in the go-bot. Poor kiddo would not open his eyes though...he wasn't asleep, he just refused to open his eyes and you could tell he was not feeling good. So we let Karuna go ahead and hoped that Jackson would feel better so he could have a turn later on.

Once I got him into the shade he opened his eyes a little, but still not feeling like getting into the go-bot. Poor kiddo, he had a really good time racing last year. But he still got to race in his wheelchair, that is his OT pushing him in the picture. You can see how miserable he was.


After the race, I tried to get him to tell me what he wanted to do, but he was not talking. Finally he did somewhat smile when I asked if he wanted to go look at bubbles with Jaiden (one of his classmates) so we did bubbles for a few minutes. He also got a goldfish painted on his hand. But he was not feeling good still so I took him home.

It really must have just been the heat because after a few minutes in the van with the AC cranking he perked right up...not only opening his eyes, but also singing along with his tunes. I feel so bad for him.
