Poorly Boy

King Tom

So Tom enjoyed his last day at school as a Fairytale King, by all accounts, they didn't do any work, just lots of activities and a Grand Ball in the afternoon.  We asked who he danced with, to which the answer was "Lucas OF COURSE".  Silly us for asking the question!

He was pretty happy, but we figured he was tired so asked him what he wanted to do for tea - answer was Fish and Chips - so we headed off to get some.  He ate a monster portion of them.  He may be pale and tired, but his appetite was fine.

Saturday morning we asked if he wanted to play football - he did, so we took him along.  He then had a football party directly afterwards, which once again he was insistent he wanted to do.  When he came home he had a shower and then went for a lie down in bed until Karen, Adam, Leia and Rosa arrived around 2.30 - they were visiting for the night.  He was in good spirits and played happily with them.

They went to bed around 9pm, but at 2am he was up with a hurting ear, then again at 4 and again at 6.  In the morning he was inconsolable, crying and crying.  Why do these things always happen at the weekend?!  We discovered that there was an out of hours surgery at Kendal Hospital, so the Komorowskis' visit came to an abrupt end and we took him to the hospital.  We were lucky, there was no-one in the waiting room, so we got seen straight ahead.  The doctor said he had a very ANGRY ear, so gave us some penicillin.  We then went for lunch at the Motor Museum (as requested by Tom) and headed back home.

Not a great start to the half term, but I'm not surprised, he was 'on the edge' all last week!
