Sunday is now family swimming day, as for some reason Rowan is freaking out about his swimming lessons that he has been having. But when he goes with us he is fine, so we went for a lovely swim in the morning.
Then we were back to Monday, our theme for this week was Autumn, we read some appley stories and did a big apple print banner...
We had a few deliveries this week so the boxes have provided the boys with a lot of their enterainment, ending up as Robot pants!
However this weeks rhythm didn't flow as well as I'd wished, Rowan seemed a bit unsettled. He had not really returned to his usual self after his illness a couple of weeks before. On Tuesdays he usually goes to his preschool, which he loves but he really didn't want to go this week, or to his swimming lessons on Wednesday. Then on Thursday he woke up with really fast breathing again, not wanting to drink or eat or even talk. He sat on the sofa and watched DVDs all day. I would occasionally come in and he would be curled up in a ball on the floor saying his insides hurt! I thought he just had a tuumy ache but by late afternoon I thought something was really wrong, well I thought it was his asthma again, so we went to the docs.
This time instead of saying he is having an asthma attack, to which they usually just stick him straight on the nebuliser, I said I didn't know (something was telling me that he needed to be seen by a doc this time). The doctor we saw was great, she took a good amount of time listening to his lungs and asking questions, to which she then diagnosed pnuemonia! Well my heart nearly dropped out of my bottom! I glady accepted the prescription for antibiotics (Rowan has only had them once before)and took my poorly boy home trying to not let him see my real feelings of 's**t this is really serious!' I slept with him that night to keep an eye on his breathing.
The next morning he woke up a bit better, but didn't have the energy to get out bed, so Reuben came into his bedroom and did a little comedy act for him to try and make him laugh, it was so sweet!
Over the day he improved and also had a visit from his homeopath who seems to have nailed the remedy on the head as over the last day he has become so chirpy and full of life (he still has a horrible cough and fast breathing).
So now we are waiting for a visit to the doctor on Monday to reasses him, and to talk asthma (does he have it or not?) I know the doctor will be reluctant to go against what previous gp's have said but I could see no difference between this breathing and the previous 'attacks'. The thing with Rowan is he hardly gets ill, but when he does he really gets ill. Lots of questions going on at the mo, just need to think them through properly before we go to the gp's on Monday otherwise I will get tangled up in my thoughts and not get the answers I am looking for.
Anyway, other photos from the week, before the poorly days,
Fun in the garden, Reuben has a new shopping basket (or washing basket as he likes to call it!)
