Green Face Sickness

Boy Wonder was pacing late into the night saying that he felt unwell. He couldn't elaborate on that verbally so I asked him to draw a picture or write down how he felt. He went to his room and came back shortly after with a picture that he had drawn  on himself with a green face and a circle in his tummy that was red with a blue outer circle.  Boy Wonder explained that the green face meant that he is ill and the red bit in the tummy meant pain. He eventually settled down after quite a lot of reassurance that he would be okay after a good sleep. ( and he would wake up in the morning !)

This morning Boy Wonder and Cat Girl went the Grandparents laden with tablets and a laptop. What happened to toys?! They said that Boy Wonder had been very quiet and disengaged throughout the morning.

I spoke with Boy Wonder's Psychologist about his eating and weight. He was concerned as much as we were and after sorting out a weight/ height appointment for later in the day, we discussed possible distraction techniques whilst eating. He also suggested getting some literature for Boy Wonder on healthy eating and help him to make a healthy eating plan. Although we agreed that this had potential for becoming obsessive, we agreed that as he is no where near a suitable daily intake, it was probably a safe tactic.

I picked the children up mid afternoon and took Boy Wonder to his clinic. He remained very quiet and said that he felt sick. At the clinic we were pleased to find that he hadn't lost weight but had stayed more or less the same. Good old Complan!! At least we can now concentrate on a developing a healthy menu plan rather than worrying too much about his weight. Although this remains our worry and wasn't shared with Boy Wonder who accepted that the clinic appointment was just routine.
On the way home, Boy Wonder threw up all over the back seats of the car!

We arrived home and after cleaning Boy Wonder and the car, Biker Gramps and Super Gran came over as its was Biker Gramps birthday. Afterwards Boy Wonder played on Minecraft . He announced that he is planning his next biggest  challenge , building  the Barcelona fC stadium  on Minecraft. He made a start this evening.

As we settled down he watched a programme on dolphins which he said he preferred to watch whilst upside down. Consequently he spent the the next half hour jumping around and throwing his legs in the air. I sat, fingers crossed hoping that he wasn't going to be sick again. Luckily this seems to have passed. He later lay on my lap and tried to getting sleep but was very, very fidgety!
