Today I am thankful for attentive teachers and kind school nurses.

Eve went on a nature hike with her class today. Her teacher told me when they returned to the classroom Eve pulled her shirt up (she’s a classy girl!) and the teacher noticed a tick on her stomach! I guess she had her jacket unzipped during the hike and at one point she tripped and fell. The teacher thinks the tick probably hopped on right then. Eek! I spoke with the nurse after pickup and she said Eve was a top notch patient. Of course! The nurse had removed the tick and kept it in a bag to show me. She asked if I wanted to keep it (ick!) and I said no thanks. I did want to take a picture, but my camera was in the car :) The nurse had removed it and cleaned the area and applied anti-bacterial stuff and a band-aid. Eve was well taken care of. I’m thankful the teacher noticed and I’m thankful the nurse took care of it. I’m sure I would have noticed in the tub tonight, but I’m happy someone more qualified (and medically trained!) than I took care of it instead.
