Placing a hand on my boy’s forehead, I felt for a temperature. It was a little clammy and Toby, five, had a runny nose and a cough, too.
He’d had Covid at the end of December 2021, but didn’t seem to have got over it yet.
By January 2022, I was expecting Toby to be back to his normal boisterous self – a bull in a China shop would have been the best way to describe him.
‘Are you feeling, OK?’ I asked him.
‘I’m really tired,’ Toby replied
And this was completely unlike Toby – he was always charging around with his sister Sophie, 10.
Between playing and fighting with each other, the kids were always rushing around.
Thinking about it, I realised Toby hadn’t been himself for a while.
He was sleeping all the time, even falling asleep in weird places.
Drifting off on the back of the sofa, standing up – he even fell asleep in the garden at pre-school.
Given how cold it was in winter it
