Ok quick update on last nights drama then i will catch up ......
DD had been quite ill over the weekend with a chesty cough, she woke up at about 11 last night, gave her some calpol then dh popped in to see her and put a bit of vicks on her chest and back as she was still coughing up a storm. DH left her room to come to bed next thing you know all hell has broken loose dd screaming blue murder (she was itchy so rubbed her hands on her chest and got the vicks all over her hand and rubbed her eyes), me and dh raced to the bathroom, rinsing her eyes getting the worst away while being fought off by dd, showered her off so no vicks remaining. her eye was still very bloodshot and swollen, rinsed some more, phoned out of hours doc who seemed to take forever phoning back then drove to a&e.
Waited 2 hours to see the triage nurse, who put litmus paper in her eye, cue more screaming, then another 3 to see the doctor just to be told that the ph was fine and that we had managed to act quick enough and rinse thoroughly enough to avoid any damage to her cornea (thank god!!!!)
dd is skipping round the house today!!! so definate improvement and her eye seems fine Hooray.
Me on the other hand ...... lol amazing how the pain is unnoticeable when your kids are in pain and you need to fix them all supermum last night dashing!!!! around, driving!! to a&e and back. this afternoon i cannot move a thing (well apart from the involuntary shaking) DH has had to lift me from my bed and put me on the sofa and is carrying me to and from the bathroom bless his heart. Tis a morphine day for me today! poor dh is dead on his feet too. dd is very happy as she has had a load of chocolate and treats for being so brave.
