He's taking a sick day today.
As I posted last night, Mark has a head cold, well, it was just a head cold.
Shortly after I posted last night, Mark sort of stumbled out to me, leaned over, said feel my head, and then said I have to go to bed mom.
His head was warm, his eyes were all glassy, his skin was pale, and off he went to bed after I gave him two more cold tablets and some more water so we could try to keep him from being dehydrated.
I went in to check on him a little while ago, woke him up to make him take some more water and ask how he was feeling, and his head was still warm, his eyes still glassy, and he just said "feel bad mom" as this sad little frown curled up his lips.
So he won't be going to school today, when Mark gets sick, he really gets sick.
And he rarely gets sick so I know that this is a serious, non-faked illness.
Mark only gets sick about once per year, but when it happens, it knocks him on down, and he's just useless.
Because all of his classes are modules, meaning he controls his own pace, and as long as the required amount of modules get completed every single quarter, he can take a sick day.
I know that when he's well enough to go back, he will do twice as many modules to bring himself back up to the pace that he set for himself this year.
Sebastian however, will be going.
He's done getting dressed and he'll be leaving for school shortly.
Mark can just stay sleeping until I'm ready to leave for my lab work, I'll check on him before I go, and then when I get back I'll check on him again, make him drink more water, maybe some juice if his throat is up to the acidity, and then I'll just let him get as much rest as needs to so he can get back to normal.
