Is it Urgent?

Last night developed into a bedtime reading session on ' Planet Earth.' This ranged from talking about  Mount Everest and why is it a range of mountains as apposed to a single mountain? We than moved onto poisonous frogs and their extinction rates. I don't know about you but this type of lesson late at night is way over my head, sleep however is high on my list of priorities ( but sadly not Boy Wonder's!)

This morning brought a high and stressy boy. We got ready for school and deciding that they both wanted to take their Jiu Jitsu certificates to show in assembly, we concentrated on get them ready.
The assembly was somewhat amusing. Cat Girl was asked what she had to do to achieve the certificate and she said 'I had to work very hard!' Boy Wonder when asked where they did Jiu Jitsu proceeded to give the entire school a history lesson on the building and its location. That will teach then to narrow down their requests for information!

Boy Wonder was being observed today in class by the Educatioal Psychologist for his statutory assessment. Although the report suggested that Boy Wonder appeared aware that he was being assessed, when asked later Boy Wonder said that he was in to see the whole class as that is what his teacher said! I think sometimes professionals get a little preoccupied with their own presence and don't just observe what they see as what it is.

I spoke with the Consultant today who felt like we did that the medication wasn't likely to be causing side effects like the headaches and tummy aches. She asked that I take him to the G.P and get him checked over and query IBS. Unfortunately getting the appointment wasn't so easy as the request needed to fit into immediate/ urgent or routine which was for a week's time. Although it wasn't urgent  the surgery suggested that he was seen today so I took him after school. The G.P was very good and also agreed that this was unlikely to be medication side effects and more likely to be anxiety. He suggested that we discussed the headaches with Boy Wonder's Neurologist as they may require more specialist advice although he didn't seem to think they were sinister or relating to his Chiari Malformation. He requested a blood test to look for inflammation of the bowel which we have the pleasure of next week!

This evening Boy Wonder played on Sky Landers and later on watched back to back Wolf  Blood on the Iplayer. Maybe not the best programme to watch before going to sleep but it kept him quiet and relatively chilled!
