Do your kids do this if you seek medical attention for them???

My kids have a long-standing habit of if you go to the doctors they magically are fine. I’ll been to A&E with a child who after days of crippling stomach pain magically was suddenly fine, after I had to carry them in.

Light hearted, obviously I’m glad this happens, but dd no. 5 (age 2) really has pulled an amazing one. Had to share my disbelief. At 11am she was shaking with rigours quite violently, semi-responsive with her eyes half closed, temp 39.8. Feet cold, hands cold. Rash on thighs, vomiting meds. I was starting to really worry! Looked scary ill. Rang GP, considered A&E.

4 hours later? She’s eating a yogurt, having a dance with her sister and bouncy happy.

The sister had to say “I’ve seen some children who are seriously ill and they just play

this was dd2
13 procedures under general anasthetic in 8 months .
Each time, we would arrive at the day surgery ward, she would be the life and soul of the party in the play room until she went down to theatre. Then the minute she woke up form anaesthetic she was back in the playroom charging around. She was about 18 month swhen it started.

Nurses used to treat her like their mascot as she was in there so often and so full of life and energy.

She was actually quite ill!

Joked with the GP the other day, when I came in with a perfectly well baby, who had had a very high temp, been really subdued, swollen fontenalle etc, only an hour before, that the best cure for children was booking to see the Dr. She said it happens a lot, but they're glad it does.
