day in the life of a sicko

Last Thursday our five year old was really hot... 40 degrees!

 He spent most of the day in bed, with Scorch his dragon, some Rainbow Magic books and a few other entertainment devices.  I have a Gameboy Micro which the kids get to use when they're sick.  The rest of the time it lives in my drawer and gathers dust.

Lovely big brother made him breakfast in bed.  His appetite wasn't great (that's when you know he's really sick) so half of his weetbix and banana made it into his berry smoothie later in the day.

Despite not finishing his breakfast, it wasn't too long before a whiteboard message appeared from the sick room...

I sent him a message back...

Alright then.

  Banana bran muffin and golden kiwifruit coming right up.

After lunch and a nap he finished Flora the Fancy Dress Fairy and wrote me this message...

So I let him play with fairies for a while.

Saturday the fever had gone but he was still pretty tired.  That night though we hardly got any sleep as he had bad pain in his ear and was crying most of the night.  It was horrible.  Doctor has checked it out and says it's healed up now and hopefully won't need antibiotics.  He gave me a script anyway in case it gets worse again.
