Apologies for my disappearance....
I have just popped in to let you all know that I hope to return to cheerful blogging in the near future unfortunately Danny was horrendously sick last Saturday night and it was completely out of the blue... no feeling ill that day or anything...
The week progressed with bouts of being sick and by Wednesday I took him to the doctors with ear ache and a temperature again....
The doctor just said it was "bad luck" and that he was catching everything going and to keep an eye on him... as I left the surgery the doctor came out and as an almost after thought suggested that I get a wee sample....
So Thursday and Friday were spent trying to talk a sickly, sleepy and completely unhappy 4 year old into the benefits and merits of peeing in a small bottle.... eventually at 6pm Friday he did it and I raced through 2 villages (in my car... I don't do running!) to get to the surgery before 6:30pm.... as it turned out Danny has a urine infection and although the doctor would prefer for Danny to have more tests he gave him some antibiotics... after 2 days of "the yucky medicine" Danny's words! he has improved slightly but I am still worried and sleeping on the floor in his room... yes I know I am an over protective mummy! but I swear I do not mean to treat him as my precious little boy but he is so not right!
I think I might take him over to the doctors again tomorrow... he is still getting spells of being hot and his ears are still blocked and bothering him... he hasn't eaten since last Sunday and I want my chatty little boy back.... I never thought I would but I miss his incessant babbling... ;D
Has anyone had any experience of a little one with a urine infection?...
I had no idea that something like this would make him sooooo poorly!
hope you all had a super mothers day, the weather was glorious down here... I received a fabulous parcel from Jenn (yarn addicts anonymous) and thank you so much... as soon as I have a spare 5 mins and can track down my camera I will post some pictures of my beautiful felted slippers she made me and thank you to Joanne for the beautiful tulips... and to Nicola for the lovely card... I am so lucky to have such wonderful blogland friends...
big hugs everyone

Update 15th March 2010....
Thank you everyone..... it was strange but once I had posted and then sorted out Mr P and Jamie I carried my crochet upstairs to sit for a while on the floor making and Danny announced he was hungry and what did we have to eat! Yay..... and then he started chatting about everything and anything.... with sudden rests saying I am tired.... and then once he'd built up steam again he'd chat a bit more... I think the golden 48 hours of antibiotics has kicked in and I think he is getting there.... he even told me that he would love a sausage roll from the shop "as they taste really nice"..... just have to get him good and strong and then we might be back to normal for the rest of the year! here's hopping!
The doctor I saw on Friday said he still wants to investigate further with another wee sample 5 days after the antibiotics are finished as a urine infection in a boy of his age is rare.... fingers crossed its just a glitch and nothing to do with kidney function!
big hugs and I am all better, just worn out and tired.... but aren't we all at the moment!
loving the sunshine though.... when I manage to get away from my little man to hang the washing on the line! lol
