Suspected Glandular Fever
Poor Laura, she came home from the childminder's thursday evening and she was all fluey and fell asleep at 7pm. Friday, I took her to the doctor. He thought after looking at her manky tonsils and enlarged gland and that she was so tired and achey that she probably had glandular fever. I was quite shocked by this as I associated it with teenagers. i suppose it makes sense as her throat has been so sore for a while now and she has been has been so tired and achey and how i remember feeling when I had it. Poor girl she had to have a blood test. For some reason, maybe because she seemed dehydrated, the docto had great trouble getting blood from her. Normally, he is good at taking blood and this must have taken about 5 minutes to get 2mls of blood. She was so brave but went very pale and nearly fainted afterwards. We will get the result on monday.
Of course, with SATS next week this news caused major panic at school. The deputy head had to phone the SATS board to get permission for Laura to take her exams at home with an invigilator and to do them over a longer period of time. Laura is quite devastated as I don't mind if she doesn't do them but she has been revising hard and wants to do them so doing them at home which seems the sensible solution.
I then went food shopping with my sister in laws help whilst Laura stayed at Nans but away from her baby cousin which made her very sad but she did understand why. After this I had a quick sleep before picking up the boys.
It was a bit of a rush as Woody had to pack for his scout competition and be fed and out the house by 530pm. His rucksack was loaded up on the outside with sleeping bag and roll maps. Luckily by this time, my mum had appeared so she could help by ironing his uniform and polishing his shoes. He did look smart in his uniform!!! Just hope they do well now and get through to the second round like they did last year.
Hubby had left the house at 6am to go to Stevenage for a work meeting and he didn't get home till after 6pm so was rather tired.
