As well as our bereavement this christmas, Kev has been totally floored by this winter vomitting flu.  It started on Christmas Eve and hes still floored with it, and has been down the docs and also has a chest and lung infection.

Both Kev and Lewis have been sick and both had fevers, however, Lewis hasnt had it that bad and if it does get worse i will seek medical advice.

Hi Mate,

I took Max to the doctors on Christmas eve, but wasn't really given much in the way of help.  The locum basically told me that unless he'd had a temperature, was vomiting or coughing up blood there was nothing he could do and that I was to carry on giving him cough syrup and to monitor his temperature.

I was bed bound myself for 2 days so couldn't do much for my child, again the locum was rubbish and I had to rely on Kev and mum to sort the boys out while I coughed and spluttered as nature intended.

I felt like I had wasted the locum's time.

I hope Kev and Lewis get well soon. xxxx
