My mom's arm

Please pray for my mom right now.

So my mom's first grade class went on a field trip today to the high school, and she has a new student (who barely understands/speaks English) and he wanted to touch everything, so my mom held his hand through most of the hallways and stuff, but he was pulling away from my mom a lot (she was holding his hand with her right hand...the REALLY bad arm...) and there was a couple of times when he yanked her arm and so she would have to physically restrain him while he's kicking and dropping his dead weight on her, all while her arm is going through extreme pain.

When they got back to the school, she went to the nurse, gets Tylenol and an ice pack, and then goes to the teacher room for something. Well the teachers see, start asking questions, she explains, word gets to the principal (who knows about mom's condition with her arm, it was bad last year) and the principal SUSPENDS THE FIRST GRADER and sends my mom home. Like gives her no option, she HAD to go home. And she is in SO much pain...like if she sits and doesn't move her ENTIRE ARM she's ok, if she moves her shoulder just a bit, or like slouches or ANYTHING she almost starts crying. It is SO bad...

Pray for the kid's parents too...they also know very little English, and they have trouble controlling him but they feel bad and are just apologizing so much...I feel so bad for them...

Just pray for the whole situation. We're hoping that he gets moved out of the school to a "behavioral classroom" or something like that...we think something's wrong developmentally or something like that.
