my kid is okay...
the student I mentioned in this post a few weeks ago came back to school last week and seems fine. apparently it was meningitis, but it was an odd strain that the docs didn't recognize right away, he said the meds almost shut his kidneys down before they realized it. he seems to be in really good spirits, and his speech has improved greatly since I saw him in the hospital. it was good to see him back with his friends and being the goofy kid that I know and love.
