For the first time in his six months of life Ben has been sick! And it's been a crash course in nursing for his over anxious, first time parents... How high is to high? when it comes to Ben's temperature. I took him to hospital on Thursday morning after a night of trying everything to keep him cool. The nurses and doctor at the emergency ward were lovely, but we got the bland cover all diagnosis when they can't find anything wrong - viral infection. Coupled with this "diagnosis", we got the vague "all children are
different", "could last 3 days could last 10"... Unfortunately, Ben is still not the Mae West and we have to feed him Calpol and Neurofen every couple of hours... He's figured out that there is no spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down and has gotten quite adept at waving his hands frantically in front of his mouth every time I try and give him something - this has also extended to food - so now meal times are quite messy...
Because he's moving around so much we've got him a play mat, but all it seems good for is eating :)...
