Sorry. Posting for traffic and company

I'm speculating here...what kind of person are you? My 3 year old was blue lighted to hospital with his dad at 4pm - they sent a first responder and an ambulance. Both of which arrived in exactly two minutes. I've just found out he's being admitted.

I've put my two year old to bed. Tidied the kitchen, put the dishwasher on and put the washing machine on... please tell me I'm not the only crazy person who feels the need to empty the washing basket and hoover the stairs in times of crisis?

Baking eases my anxiety. When lockdown was first announced here I baked all weekend.

Sorry didn't read TFT, just saying make her bedroom as cosy as possible, make a bed for you on the floor and if you don't think she's ready to be discharged then tell them! We are a family full of nurses and we'd rather you said Flowers

I’m glad you’re getting him home. I hope you eventually get some sleep and that all is well in the morning Flowers

We are home and in bed. I'm sleeping with the boys tonight - both of who are currently awake. I'm going to leave husband in bed until about midday and then grab myself a nap. He's downstairs having dinner.

Ds1 currently looking quite perky as we've not long given calpol

Having a child who is repeately admitted in often said husband. She is just as close and he is calmer and a better advocate for hwr. oistay home and man the fort. X

@MamaLKB

Ok, well I'm sorry I've offended so many. I didn't mean to. I just thought it was strange, I would want to be with my baby and previously all 4 of us went.

Sorry if I offended anyone. Hope you're baby is ok OP x

Are you hard of thinking? There is a global pandemic, only 1 parent is allowed to go to the hospital. Would you say the same if it was the DH who had stayed home?
Elsewyre · 10/09/2020 06:16

Nope, you're an animal under it all. You've received news that triggers a physical response to take action. There's nothing relevant you can do so an unrelated action is a brilliant thing to do.

Like you said it's worked you're calmer the adrenaline is wearing off.

What was the other option sit fidgeting and worrying on the sofa? Cling to the little two year old while pacing anxiously or drag her out in. The car/taxi in the middle of the night to sit in a harsh hospital waiting room?

DameFanny · 10/09/2020 08:36

Oh good news OP - hope you catch up on some sleep soon!

MulticolourMophead · 10/09/2020 09:34

Good news that your little one is home. And having only just read this through, I see that you have good neighbours, texting if you need any help. Hope you get a decent nap.

Ds1 is still grumpy but perky. School are now anxiously awaiting our covid results. Highly unlikely to be covid, in my opinion, but a nervous wait nonetheless
