So, thankfully, Monday is nearly over....

And the gorgeous boy see above is the one who was feeling sick this morning and just about all day.

I decided to take him to the vet - oops - I mean Doctor!

He was not that keen but I explained to him that we can't keep going on the way we have been. With the headaches, tummy upsets, tears, tiredness and more.

The doctor was lovely. She asked him a lot of questions - many of which he actually answered - a feat in itself really! I said to her that I thought that he might be anxious etc. She questioned him at length about school and he told her that the only thing that worried him about school was the work. Handing it in on time as he doesn't want to get detention!

She decided to take blood just to be sure and rule out things like Coeliac Disease, Diabetes vitamin deficiencies. She is almost 100% positive all will come back ok.

When he was born, he had quite a few things not-quite-right about him. He was born with what we like to call a 'hole in his head' (technically called Aplasia Cutis Congenita) or take a look at this one , hydrocele (fluid filled knackers!!), a hernia about 3 inches above his belly button and a cafe au lait birth mark on the side of his face that covers his temple. As a baby, he was thoroughly checked out and given the all clear. After the hole in his head healed (where the aliens came and sucked out his brains!!), the only thing that had to be done was getting grommets at the age of 14months.

So blood results will be back on Wednesday and I still have to book him in for an ultrasound.

Apparently the hernia should have gone by now?

Best to get him a clean bill of health so that we can concentrate on the matters of the mind I reckon...
