Sarah's migraine

 The second week of school was a rough one.  On Sunday August 29th Jeremy stayed home from church with an upset stomach, probably from food we ate after he took the SAT the day before in Fort Dodge.  On Monday Ben felt lethargic and sick and stayed home from school.  On Tuesday Sarah came home from school with a migraine which continued on to Wednesday.  Wednesday morning we took her to see her pediatrician who suggested a few medications to make her sleep in the morning.  When her migraine was still present in the late afternoon after I got home from working at Ankeny High School, I took the doctor's advice and drove her Blank Children's Hospital so she could get an IV.  Sarah's pain was only at a 2/10 but the fact that her vision spot was still there was scary.  The IV was not a pleasant experience but Sarah made it through!  She even practiced her acting which made both of us laugh.

Unfortunately her vision spot didn't go away until Friday afternoon after Sarah had powered through the school day and done early morning marching band.  She had her first marching band football game that night.  With how busy she is, migraines are not a welcome malady.  Her hair style Friday morning was particularly beautiful.
