Sunblock, Miguel's Birthday and sickness

Michael has started to get a bit sunburnt on his cheeks so we bought sun block for him I think it is factor 5000.



We went to our friend Miguel's birthday party. Here he is with his Mum and Dad



We had a good time there with talking, laughter and big pieces of cake but I'm sorry to say the most memorable part for me was Michael's projectile vomiting. He has only rarely been sick in his life but he really seems to have got the hang of it. It really came out like a fountain, all over my jumper. The poor thing looked a bit surprised and we went home early. Mike is quite ill and he was sick three more times in the evening and three more times in the morning (I'm running out of clean clothes) before we took him to the doctor's. No messing about this time. We have learnt from our previous experiences when Mike was ill and we went straight to the private doctor and spent 30 Soles or about 7 pounds on a consultation. The good doctor gave us a prescription for about 4 different medicines, three of which we still had (in date) from last time and now Mike is back on a medicine routine, morning noon and night.Here he is taking his rehydration medicine, which he loves



He is not nearly as ill as he was last time and seems to be getting slowly better. No more sickness and he continues to feed well and drink a lot. He is a bit weak and sleepy but wakes up and plays when he can.
