Feeling better

Bug is recovering well and is starting to feel better. Last few days there's been a long of cuddling up on sofa. Lots of extra cuddles. He's not been eating much but he's drinking plenty. I'd been heating up his drinks so they weren't as harsh on his throat. I'm still checking on him loads. Still feel shaken up when I think about how unwell he was in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Very scary. I'm so glad he's getting better quite quickly.

I phoned up on Wednesday morning to cancel his flu vaccine appointment. I didn't even really want the appointment in the first place. The nurse caught me off guard when she called and when I tried to explain my concerns, instead of reassuring me, she just said I could cancel if I wanted to. After having a read online I'm leaning towards not having the vaccine. I've only ever had the flu once myself and that was when I was pregnant - a time when I was immunocompromised. At that time I didn't feel the risks were worth the benefits. Even though I had the flu, I didn't regret my decision. I do have all the scheduled vaccinations for my son. I just don't feel this is necessary. 

I have more I want to write. Something is that I'm currently having a look into a Gaelic medium education. There's a lot of resources for parents online. It really deserves it's own entry but I think I'm going to make an apppointment to see the head teacher of the school to discuss it more. I've not decided yet. I'm really not sure but I do feel I'd like to explore the option more so I have all the information before I do make a decision.
