Happy New Year!!


New Years Eve brought the final touches to the decorating of Boy Wonder's bedroom. I did the easy bit and ordered the curtains, wall stickers and bed set which should be here in a few days.

Superman reported that Boy Wonder had been very quiet all day, hardly eating anything despite regular encouragement,  and saying very little.

On my return from work we prepared to go out for the evening. First to my sister's to see them and Grandad London, then to a friend's and finally on to Superman's Brother's. It was going to be a busy night and although Boy Wonder had been well prepared, we were pretty apprehensive about the whole thing.

Boy Wonder remained quiet for much of the evening unless there was a specific activity happening and then he engaged. He ate very little and became preoccupied by minute details such as specific times for events, meanings of words such as  'pumps' and ' bed spreads.' We played bingo at the last party which Boy Wonder enjoyed after taking a while to get into the rules. He also danced a bit to 1D and playing Fifa 14 on the computer. Cat Girl played in the conservatory and even danced a bit too!

We saw in the New Year and then made our way home. Boy Wonder was very lively at this point and jumped around his room for some time.

This morning we met friends at the local pub for breakfast. Boy Wonder looked tired and remained very quiet throughout. He ate half a slice of toast and stood and hugged Superman for some time. .

Later on Sister, Grandad London and families came over for dinner and stayed for the evening. Boy Wonder spent a lot of time in his room with his cousin playing Minecraft, He came down for dinner, hardly saying a word. Superman had a chat with him and he stated that he was worried about eating .
 He takes Concerta for his ADHD which suppresses his appetite a bit so we have to ensure that he eats well. However over the past couple of weeks he appears to be becoming food phobic. He explained that he can feel food inside him, going into his stomach and giving him pain. He also says that potato clogs up his throat making it difficult for him to breathe. We are getting to a point where he is eating very little and is now starting to refuse the supplement drink that we give him also. Boy Wonder ate a small amount of chicken but nothing else. He later had a bit of chocolate and ice cream.

Boy Wonder taught the guests how to play Top Trumps and consequently beat them until they started getting good! Uncle set up the Raspberry Pi and gave Superman a crash course in it.

Boy Wonder settled down late  although he is looking very tired.

Happy New Year!!
