They just make you worse

A night of medicines to try to keep down his temperature with the aid of a fan and Vicks on the soles of his feet last night. A long night but at least he's not been sick. So today there was no school, no deliberations over why he should go to swimming rather than to the school disco. Instead it was DVDs, taking it easy and sleeping. By this evening he was asking for pancakes so I'm hoping his tough little body has kicked the germs ass and he's going to be back to his crazy self in the morning. We shall see. Personally I am going to try to get some sleep in my own bed. I find a lot less kicks and nudges there than sharing his bottom bunk.
