| Open House |
*Here is an article detailing the complications of graduation - a bomb scare that delayed the ceremony for 1.5 hours (ended up that the mysterious package they found was a student's "carefully wrapped" ceramic art project!). This delay was accompanied by rain, which resulted in the ceremony being moved indoors to the gym. It was very cramped and the pictures of the processional, etc., are just not good enough to even post, since you can't even make out Daniel to our being so far away!
*The above factors resulted in the open house party we had scheduled becoming a bit delayed and longer lasting - we had to dash home and get all the food together, etc., in time for the guests to arrive. Fortunately, almost all of Atlanta was aware of the delay in the graduation since it made the local (and even national, I think) news that morning, so most guests came toward the middle/later part of the party!
*That night, we were going to go to the Braves game but instead we got there and (1) realized the ticket people had given us the wrong tickets in advance; our tickets were for 5/23 instead of 5/16!!; and (2) Number 1 ended up being quite fortuitous, as shortly after arriving to the ballpark, Daniel's ankle injury from his bike accident last week swelled up horribly and got all blue. The doctor had (wrongly) told him if it does that, he should get the ER immediately. This put him into a frenzy, and we ended up calling 911 and having the paramedics come to get him. They took him to Piedmont Hospital, where they spent until nearly 12:30 or 1 a.m. waiting to see the doctor and learn that his pediatrician had told him wrong, and that this blueness/swelling was just part of the healing process (albeit very painful and scary looking). So, all's well that ends well, but I dare say, Daniel will NEVER forget the day he graduated from high school!! And, sadly, he'll spend his first week or so as a high school graduate hobbling around on crutches until his ankle heals.
*Meanwhile, we enjoyed the rest of our time with my family, but due to the "excitement" and staying up so late Sat. night, we ended up both forsaking our plane tickets and just riding back in the new car to Williamsburg. (Will post pics of the car later.) We got back last night fairly late, and today I woke up with a bad fever. By noon it had spiked to nearly 103 degrees F! Yikes. We went to the doctor, and I apparently have some bad infection, probably a type of strep. I am on antibiotics and a steroid shot, and I am slowly starting to feel a tad better. (If you recall, we got sick last time we went to Atlanta, so everyone is now forbidding us to ever go back to Atlanta again!! However, I think it was probably coincidence, and since we lived in Atlanta before, I find it hard to believe that I am truly allergic to Atlanta, although one never knows...)
