Flu

My head was hurting when I went to bed, so Mummy took my temperature. She said it was 38.6 degrees, and gave me medicine to lower my temperature. I was still burning in the morning, so Papa booked an appointment straight away to see Dr. Max, who told me I had the flu. He said lots of people were getting flu at this time, and gave me a sick note for swimming for one week, and two days off school.

I wasn't hungry all the while I had a high temperature for two days. I was told to drink lots. I was very uncomfortable. My birthday is coming up, and I worried if I might die on my birthday. I started feeling a bit better on Wednesday, but still feeling dizzy; I told Papa my head was spinning around like an astronaut floating.
