Last week Toby was one miserable little boy having to deal with his illness together with a tummy bug and a very nasty croupy cough. He was so lifeless and because of his cough had lost his voice, so his weak, squeaky cry was heartbreaking to listen to.
Over the weekend Toby has started to come right and there have been lots more smiles and laughs. He is still pretty lifeless and not his usual full-on, cheeky self, but this is all to be expected and if it were me I’d be curled up in bed with my head under a pillow!!
He is very weary of anyone who comes near him as he thinks that everyone is about to stick needles or medicine in him!!
While he was taking the steroids, he gained 2kg but most of that has been lost since he got the tummy bug. He is still a bit round in the face though and his eyes are dark and sunken. His hair is hanging in there but over the last couple of weeks it has been falling out slowly - it looks like the cat has been sleeping on the back of his t-shirt at times!! We are debating whether to shave it off or not because he (and us) keep getting bits of it stuck in our mouths, but I’m very reluctant to do it until absolutely necessary.
