It was officially the hottest day recorded since 1911 today with temperatures reaching 38 degrees – a furnace. Will and I went into town early to try to escape the heat, but even at 10.30am it was sweltering. Fortunately we were saved by Lowly and Sarah who we met for lunch and a swim, just what the doctor ordered. Will is loving the water and we even had a splash later on at home in the gargantuan paddling pool (I bought it last year for Dave actually, so he could enjoy the sunshine but stay cool and it disappeared in the chaos as we did the house up until I found it by accident yesterday morning).
Will’s doing much better in the heat these days, maybe he’s getting used to it, or maybe it’s because his ezcema’s improving. We’re able to put him to bed in just a vest now without him scratching insanely. He’s fast asleep now thank heavens and it’s gradually cooling down. He’s discovered he can lie on his side now, and sleeps on the right. I’ll be interested to see if it has any effect on the shape of his head because for the past 6 months he’s only ever slept on his back lying on the left side of his head (the flat side!).
Off to the osteopath tomorrow and am going to ask her what sort of changes she thinks will happen to Will’s head if he carries on with the cranial and also starts becoming more upright.
