Wuuuuhhhh….ehhhhhh
Jack has it bad 
He’s been miserable all day, and most of last night. And every time he coughs or stirs, he has to whine loudly, and wake up everyone in the vicinity.
I feel sorry for him, but my sympathy reserves got a bit stretched after about 14 continuous hours of this 
I don’t think he’s ever been this sick before really. He hasn’t eaten anything all day, and wouldn’t even have a drink. He wouldn’t even have ice-cream, which I offered on the basis that once he’d something in his stomach, I could start dosing him with vitamin c. He’s just sat and felt sorry for himself (loudly) all day. He’s quite wheezy too, and I’m sure his chest must hurt, but I can’t really get a straight answer about it from him, because no matter what I ask, the answer is negative. “Are you sick?” “Yes.” “Does your chest hurt?” “Yes.” “Are you going to throw up?” “Yes.” “Will you drink some water?” “No.” “Are your ears turning orange?” “Yes.” And so on.
Toby is a little sniffly, and not quite himself - I really hope that breastmilk heads this one off - it’s bad enough for Jack, for a baby it would be horrible.
Scratchy has taken Freddy and George to ju-jitsu; Barney is at home, because it appears that in his current mood he can’t be trusted not to throw his weight about with his younger brothers
The older three did some work this morning - Latin was on Freddy’s agenda, much to his delight. After lunch I took Toby and Jack to bed for a while, and once it seemed Jack had slept as much as he was going to, I put a DVD on for them all. After that, Barney went and picked up his maths book again and the others tidied up. I offered Toby a bit of potato at dinner, but he wasn’t impressed. Bananas are definitely a big hit though - as soon as he sees someone with one now, he lunges. All that from one or two tiny tastes…
Send get-better-soon vibes for Jack please, but just in case they don’t work, can you please also send vibes for getting me through another day of wuuuuhhhh…wuhhhhhhh….ehhhhhh…ehhhhhhh…? Thank you.

Sympathy. Everyone is snotty here, though the sick has thankfully eased off.
Loads of sympathy, K was doing that whiny thing the whole day Sunday after being sick. It was driving me bonkers. I hope hes feeling better soon, offering medicine always works on snotty boys here (apart from T) because they hate it so stop moaning to get out of having it!
Healthy stardust wishes coming your way Deb! Hang on there!
