DS on the gravel

[Goodawn]

Collected DS (nearly 15) from school at 8.30pm. He had Saturday lessons from 8am and games this afternoon - a 4 hour crixket match an hour away.

He was horribly grumpy in the car on the way back, cross with me about the radio etc. He wanted to get out and walk and I nearly let him but said come on let's just get home.

Got home and I opened the boot and went inside, heard a huge thud and I presumed it was his cricket bag being lumped out of the boot. I did a few things in kitchen and about 2 mins later looked out of window- ds was lying by the boot on the gravel.

I don't think the boot hit him. I ran out and sort of woke him up. he was disoriented and said he felt dizzy.

I walked him in and gave him fruit and water, then some supper. It seems like he has barely eaten since 7.30am from what I can gather.

On Saturdays they have a 'packed lunch' if they are on a sports team, but I think he only ate the chocolate bar. And missed the match tea at the other school as he was playing and it was all gone.

Sorry this is long, I'm just scared. Of course I don't think a&e.... he doesn't report any head injury. I want to ask mum but she has passed away last year .

I'm just so glad I didn't let him walk when he asked to - imagine he fainted on the street, I feel an awful mum that I almost let him.

He'll be fine tho, right?

I get low blood sugar sometimes. I really feel sick and comatosed like you can’t move. Cold, shivery, pale and just horrendous. Like near death.

As in I know I need toast, but I do feel like I would die on the way to making it. That sounds like a dramatic over statement and an understatement simultaneously. It’s super hard to describe.

So I would be surprised about wanting to get out and walk but maybe he reacted differently. Particularly if he didn’t know what it was.

I get it too, it's horrible and suddenly I'm incapable of anything. I've felt dizzy and seen all white before, bit never actually passed out from it
