So the speed of recovery is the thing. Well, Bradley was shitting mid last week, threw up at skool on Thursday, coughing and moany till Monday when he projectile vomited and been up and down the temperature from 40.4° on Tueday night and 37° in skool today. He goes up every 4-6 hours or so. Hot, pissed off. We force 5 or 10 mil of Calpol and half an hour again he's either asleep or wanting to play.
