Jack's a poorly boy today.

He went to school this morning having eaten very little breakfast and with a headache. He said he was OK, but I gave him a dose of calpol anyway, safe in the knowledge that if he became more poorly at school they would phone me.

He stayed all day .  He got off the school bus tonight with his head hanging and very quiet. Once home he went to his room, changed then reappeared wanting cuddles, and saying he felt cold. He said he still had a bit of a headache but not too bad. He felt quite hot so I took his temperature - 38.8C. A good dose of calpol and nice cuddle later and he was snuggled up with NooNoo on the settee.  He did eat some plain spagetti for tea and a small fairy cake, but I had to feed it too him. He could hardly keep his head up off the table.  After a brief rest on the settee again, I got him into bed by 6 pm with a dvd to watch, but he fairly soon fell asleep.  Lets hope it is short lived and he is soon bouncing back.  It is still such a worry with him, even though it's probably just a cold/flu like illness!!!

Anyway, lets see what tomorrow brings.
