Long Day

Today was a tiring day. We changed almost 20 diapers in the morning, and then we cleaned up the play structure. While we were cleaning the play structure Kyeremateng, a 16 year old disabled boy, started having a grand mal seizure. It was really frightening, because no one was around watching him besides Dani, my mom and I. My mom ran to him when he fell face down in the dirt and supported his head. The seizure lasted about 60 seconds, and he was unconscious afterwards. I ran to get an administrator from the office. She was very nonchalant about it all, she casually walked over to him and said "oh, he is already taking drugs for this. He just needs to rest." They pulled him onto his feet and led him to bed. I was very upset at the reaction of the administrator. This boy should not have been unsupervised in the first place, especially if he is known to have such intense seizures. I offered to take him to the hospital and pay for the fees, but they insisted he was okay. I don't understand how someone can be so carless about the care of a kid.
