Heard ds aged 2 talking to himself bout an hour ago went up and he was sat in the dark talking to the wall pointing at things and talking about things that arent there, this is not normal for him think hallucinating. took temp was 40.2. gave calpol checked him over rang nhs and now also spoken to dr who says check on him every now and then keep giving calpol and neurofen etc. Went to check his temp had gone down and its only down to 39.7/ 39.5 in left ear tried in right ear (dont ask me why!) and its normal 38.1/37.9. why is this?? Which one is right? He still feels very hot but my hands are very cold! Still talking to himself pointing to an (imagined) apple on his pillow but also talking to me and aware, doesnt seem distressed at all, quite happy really. Has been more sleepy than normal today but happy enough.
Scared the life out of me at first with talking to wall this is definately not normal for him and im normally quite a calm person when they're ill and things. Just off to check on him again, back soon. Hopefully
