Well, That’s a First

Bjarki’s health continues to not be excellent.  He woke up pretty lethargic, coughing, and with a leaky nose.  Once we’d seen Anna off, I took his temperature which was normal though.  After reading him a book in my bed I shut my eyes for a bit, and he just lay there, not reading or anything, for probably half an hour.  Huh.  Weird that.

Somewhere past nine I figured it was time to start the day, and headed for the shower.  Bjarki ambled into his own room, turned off the light, and lay down in his bed.  I followed him there, turned the light on (playtime!) but he just asked for his comforter.  And for the light to be turned off when I exited the room.  Lo and behold, once I’d showered, he appeared to be sleeping!

At that point I called daycare and told them he’d be spending the day at home, as he didn’t seem to have the energy needed to face a classroom of kids for a whole day.  Shortly afterwards he was up again, but not exactly his usual energetic self.  So it’ll just be the two of us today, lounging, until his energy levels pick up again.  YouTube is again our best friend.

Update @12:30 pm:  I’m pretty sure Bjarki has a temperature now, and he’s begun complaining about an ear-ache.  Called the health clinic and we have an appointment in an hour or so.  He’s still Mr. Lethargic, and didn’t eat a whole lot for lunch either. 🙁

Update @2 pm: Nothing to report really.  Right ear shows signs of beginning inflammation, lungs sound ok.  Doctor prescribed lots of fluids, pain-killers, and lets-wait-and-see.  Chickling still doing pretty poorly.
