Friday was a tough day.  Things began looking up in the evening when we went to Chris' lacrosse game. 

Thomas tossed the football around with Dad during breaks in the game. 
We put Stress Away in the Young Living Diffuser over night.  This morning he woke up happy as could be.  He played and laughed.  At 9:30 a.m. we were at his sister's dance recital.  He was alright, a little bored sitting there.  Afterwards, he was quiet.  We went home and had lunch.  Then he played Legos for a bit.  After Legos, we rode bikes for a little bit but his head started hurting and he got dizzy.  He played inside for awhile and then came back out with our dog.  He ran the dog around the yard.  Then he went for a golf cart ride.  After the golf cart ride, he was miserable.  Terrible headache and hurt all over.  I literally hand fed him his hamburger for dinner and then he laid on the floor for nearly two hours. 

I massaged his body with Stress Away mixed into some coconut oil.  It seemed to calm him some bu as soon as he got up he started crying that his head hurt so bad.  We ended up giving him Children's Tylenol and tucking him into bed with an icepack on his head and a hot water bottle on his belly.  I think he starts feeling better and then he starts playing and it's just too much.  Somehow we have to find a balance.....
