Midnight dash

I took my youngest son, Kieran, to the out of hours doctors surgery last night.
He and Siobhan, my daughter, had started a cough on the last day of our holiday and Kieran had developed a very high temprature last night. He was vomitting and very lathargic. Siobhan still has a cough but seems to be han dling it better.
I was worried about Kieran and took him to the surgery which was in our local hospital were he was seen quite quickly.
He was given some Calpol, every parents favourite, as we had returned to late to get to a chemist. He had quite a good night and had a day of lazing on the sofa with his duvet and his new blanket he bought from Lapland, it has a large husky dog on it.
He seems a lot better today, he hasn’t eaten anything but he has been drinking which is the most important. I am going to give him some flat cola as well as I had a GP who swore by it and it does seem to work in replacing fluids and sugars.
