Down and out

Remember yesterday i said how Marleys behaviour has been a bit wild. It all came to a head today.

He coughed all night and woke early crying his throat hurt. As awful as it sounds i hoped for tonsillitis. I think the amount of sore throats he's had he just needs his tonsils removed now.

A lot of people i've talked to either  have themselves or know someone who would get regular recurring sore throats and as soon as the tonsils were gone they were so much better.

I took him to the doctor who said tonsils are big and inflamed but not infected, they strep tested him and it was negative. They said he looked tired and rundown. it could still turn to tonsillitis but otherwise could be viral , Just a wait and see sort of thing.

Hes been miserable today and as i was serving dinner he started to cry his throat hurt and he wanted to go to bed. He took himself off to bed put his pjs on, climbed in and fell asleep all by 6pm.

I think its a combination of things -tiredness and sickness. Feel sorry for the poor wee guy.

So he was off school today and will be tomorrow too.

Harper fell asleep early tonight too by 630 he was in bed. Tired little guys.

So i was talking with my amazing friend today more about a weighted blanket for Kanye to help him sleep. Towards Kanyes bed time she messaged me saying she'd pop round that she had finished it!! I was really surprised she had just whizzed through ad made it completely for me.

Its so awesome, its how i pictured it would be. Kanye loved it. I put him to bed and put the blanket over top of his and he hugged it and fell asleep. No sitting waiting for him to drop off, no waking again. We tried to take it from him when we went to bed as your not mean to leave them on all night just because of the weight but he wouldn't let it go.

Its 10% of his total body weight so i think it will still be good as he grows.So grateful she put in her own time and materials to make it for Kanye, i cant believe how much of a difference it made to him straight away. The way she made it also means when he rolls onto his side it goes with him so its like hes getting a hug while sleeping.

Poured with rain today, great for my garden but not much use to my pets and my washing pile!
