I felt so sorry for him. He’d been looking forward to the party for so long and when he came out with the headache, we gave him some Panadol, but that, I think, helped to induce the vomiting and he was just a mess after that. We held off as long as we could, but he asked if he could stay at home. When he started to feel better, I figured we could salvage the day - the trading cards he likes to collect are pretty cheap and he loves getting a few packs to open so they’re always a good option for cheering him up.
