Poor baby not only was he running a temperature so bad you could fry an egg on those cheeks but then his tooth decides to FINALLY come out so we have to contend with blood everywhere (why is that??? I hate head wounds and when the kids bite inside their cheeks or their tongue...ewwww!!!). Tyler was so ill and had to have a cloth to spit into coz of course, he hated the taste of the blood in his mouth.
He had woken on Saturday morning and bounced out of bed ready for his soccer match, then the went to Hungry Jacks for a team celebration but Daddy said he slowly faded and became cuddly boy (when that happens - you know it's time to come home & you're in for a rough time!!)... So back in the car & home by 11.30... I wasn't feeling the best - hot & cold and horrrrrenddddous headache so we made a fine pair... By the time Max, Neesh & Meleiha left 10mins later to go to Nanna & Grandad's for lunch, Tyler was fast asleep in my bed, didn't even watch the movie I put on for him. I laid down next to him and had a snooze too but had to get up just before 2pm to get Josh from work. Poor kid could barely move but I had to take him as Max wasn't back yet. Home again and straight back to bed. Kept him drinking water & tried to get him to eat but he picked and not interested and back alseep again just after 6pm. Had nightmares or was delirious - not sure which but was screaming for Meleiha and so distressed.... it is heartbreaking to see them in pain like that. I ended up laying with him for a while but it was so cold in their room & he was so hot!! Couldn't get Max in with him as he had to work Sunday so needed his rest (or he becomes the grumpy truck driving monster from hell - we hate it when dad has a crap week at work with nix sleep & comes home tired!!)
Sunday he was still a bit down but he did have an up moment or two even went for a motorbike ride but only lasted about 10minutes as he got tired again.
Went to school Monday but was very tired and grizzly when he got off the bus & still saying not hungry so just nibbling on food - crashed like a tonne of bricks early again.
Got up this morning late and not really with it... Neither of them wanted to go to school so gave them their note to say ring me if they get worse!! Nothing so far (2pm) so all good I hope.
Thank goodness the school holidays start this weekend. Rest, sleep-ins, relaxation and preparation for their birthday party are the main things on the agenda (oh and the usual termly vacation fling out of clothes & crap from the house)
I am over these bugs going around - even the doctor said they are longest "holding on" factor ones they have seen in years. Makes one want to buy a tropical island in the middle of the ocean and go back to basics!! With my internet still for shopping & communication tho or i'd go crazy!!!
