"It’s also so hard to know the right thing to do .. so last night we called 111 for advice as brodys temp was higher than it had been .. thankfully they said he was ok, & said he was ok at home ..
"Calpol is our best friend right now (as you can see from his vest) so lots of rest & cuddles today!!"
