DS is 15 months, been generally a bit grumpy for a week. Last night he was especially grumpy so calpol'ed him at put him to bed, he had a slight temperature. He hasnt woken since.
Waiting for an "urgent" call from GP nurse which will be this afternoon or possibly this evening.
Nothing specific, slight temp, was occasionally pulling at ears, decreased appetite. But he's completely un rousable, changed nappy with DD1 and 2 in the room jumping about and he just slept. He obviously is responsive because I've got a few oz of water into him and nurophen in him. But I cant wake him any more than that. So he's been asleep for 17 hours looks poorly but not collapsed. Occasional small cry but by the time I've got to his door he's asleep again.
So MNers should I call the GPs again, NHS direct or am I just wittling about nothing and let him sleep it off. DD2 has complex medical needs and I'm always on the ball with her getting her seen as appropriate. But a normal "abit unwell and sleeping child" has completely thrown me.

It's so lovely to see his progress. He's a strong little boy, he must take after you. 
Hello clutching and mini clutching. I often wonder how you are and how the little one is coming on.
Whenever anyone mentions chicken pox it makes me think of you.
So just checking in to see how things are going and hoping you are all well
Hi thank you so much for thinking of us, I pop back from time to time just to remind me how far we have come.
DS is a wriggly little thing now crawling, in a fashion, noisy little grunts and squeaks and while his left side is still weak he is still able to get around and bash toys around. We have changed to a PEG tube. Which is something I have resisted but lifes so much easier now. I wish we had it straight off. I've just collected his first pair of glasses this week and he's spending alot of time trying to loose them. He's character is really shining through. He seems to have escaped most bugs going round and hasn't had any real set backs. I'm petrified about him getting sick, so he doesn't get much chance to brew anything before I'm ringing the hospital.
Holiday wise we are all booked up and excited to go. The girls seem to think October will be beach weather 
and are counting down the days. They have been fantastic this year and I just want them to enjoy it so fingers crossed the weather will improve. It will be my first holiday with them on my own so its a real adventure for us all.
DS is still needing alot of care but he's such a joy to be around now. It doesn't feel as hard as it once was.
So all in all lifes looking good for us. DS is definitely improving and while life has lead him down a different path from most, he's enjoying life and is a very happy little boy. We still have a long way to go but everything's going right for is so far.
