School Nurse

The other night as I sat down to do homework with Samuel we had the following conversation:

Samuel:  I .went to the nurse today
Me:  Why?
Samuel:  My knee hurt.
Me:  I'm sorry you hurt your knee
Samuel:  I didn't hurt my knee.  My knee hurt.
Me:  Oh, well, what did the nurse do
Samuel, somewhat annoyed:  Nothing!  She doesn't have an x-ray machine!

One of the biproducts of having a child with medical needs, he is use to being around doctors, nurses, and the medical equipment.  Silly boy assumed that if she was a nurse then certainly she would be able to give me an xray to find out what is wrong with his knee.  I would have loved to be in the nurses office when Samuel walked in and asked for an xray!

Two days later Samuel was back in the nurses office getting a bandaid for his mosquito bite.

I am happy that Samuel feels comfortable at his school and that he knows there are people there that will care for him, but I do hope he doesn't make going to the nurses office a regular habit!
