he insisted on having the sick bowl to hand and now he is still asleep.8.45

He is more clammy than hot this morning, but this normally is a boy who is in jumping on our bed a 7.00 by the latest.
DH is away, so when DS woke at 3.00, I put him in the bed with me. He was slept, I didn't.
All of this, I can deal with, but just before I got up to call the school he twitched several times in his sleep.
Now as I type this, I realise that the twitching was probably unrelated and I feel like a random nutter or a hysterical mother.
But I will post anyway.

sherlock can you take him to the doctor

wouldn't worry about the twitching .. but I would be concerned at the drowsiness and feeling sick and would get it checked out

you're not hysterical at all ...

He is up and appears to be fine, but I have an appointment at 4.00 to be on the safe side.

God Motherhood, makes a wreck of you doesn't it.?

Concussion.

But............the high temperature is something else, so we need to wait and see what that produces, God for a child who is rarely ill, he always does it in style when he is. Poor little lamb.

A bit of both, he had an ice lolly for lunch.

When the doctor was trying to look in his eyes, he kept blinking, so eventually I said, keep still darling I will get you something nice in Waitrose.

The Doc looked at me and laughed and said, how very Surrey.

Actually, I was thinking how very MN.
