Very stressed small person

Well, yesterday's good start didn't last for long, as Catherine woke up again extremely nervous about going to school. She began feeling nauseous again, and kept telling us she was nervous. She went to school and had a nap for most of the morning. Her teacher phoned me to ask whether this was usual for Catherine, so I told her that it was unusual and explained how nervous she had been that morning. When I picked her up, she was looking quite worried and told me she felt sick and had wanted to come home, but as soon as we left the school building she perked up and told me she felt fine. It was almost an instant state change, so I think it is all nerves related. She hasn't yet plucked up the courage to speak to any of the other children, so I am concerned for her. Everything is so different for her - house, hospital, school and people - plus all the treatment she has had in the last year has been hard and scary. I'm just a bit concerned that emotionally, for the time being at least, she has had enough.

Please pray that she feels calmer about school and that she finds it in herself to deal with her nervousness. She has dealt with so much concerning her hospital treatment, such scary things, but I just think the whole newness of school - without her mum and dad being there as her security - is very difficult for her to deal with.
