Sickness Bug

Alan went to bed on Thursday night he was complaining of a sore tummy, so i gave him some calpol and he very quickly fell asleep.I was awoken at 11.45 with Alan shouting, i ran through and he had been sick absolutely everywhere. I got Big Alan up to was him down and i got to work in stripping his bed and cleaning up the mess.He was sooo upset. We took him in beside us and he managed to dose off, but it was not for long at all. He jumped shouting he was going to be sick, he ran to the toilet this time. That went on all night the poor wee soul.
In the morning the sickness had stopped but he still felt really sick. With him being diabetic now and us having to check his sugars when he is eating i was beginning to panic because he was not eating and his sugars were really high.I rang the ward and the nurse told me not to panic because when a diabetic is ill their sugars can still be high, so that put my mind at ease a bit.
He lay in my bed all day just taking sips of water, but by the Saturday he was beginning to feel a good bit better thank goodness.

We are having a try at growing some fruit and veg in our garden we have strawberries in and pea pods, Alan is very keen. He has his own watering can and his special pair of gloves. Its lovely to see him doing something a little different that he is so enjoying.
