As well as a brother experiencing some health challenges my 6ft2inch baby boy has been a bit under the weather recently. Nothing too specific, enlarged neck glands, tired, off-colour, and after several Dr visits yesterday a fresh GP diagnosed glandular fever. This is a bit disappointing as the boy is supposed to be going skiing with his school next week, and also helping with his brother's 18th tomorrow. He is currently laying on the sofa. My brother staying safe out of the way until a blood test next week for conclusive diagnosis of 'kissing disease'. Interestingly GP advice is to allow sickly boy to go about his normal business, as he feels able to do, mix freely at school and socially, and go skiing if he feels up to it. This seems a tad on the selfish side to me, but GP asserts we are almost all immune and perfectly safe...I now think that my big boy (who is about to celebrate his 18th) may have also had the same virus and just made a recovery, but with much milder symptoms, as he has also had inflamed glands and a sore throat. Will be very interested to see the results of the blood test anyway.
We have had some snow, its disappeared, and now just wet and muddy. No change there then.
