Dd is 2.5 and woke up just before midnight crying and clutching the back of her head. It seems to cause her pain every time she moves her head, she keeps repeating ow ow Sad

We phoned the out of our GP and a nurse there told us to take her to A&E straight away. We can't both go because we have other children so dh has taken her.

I'm really worried. Im use to the normal snuffles and temperatures but haven't seen this anything like this before. So scared that something is wrong with my baby. Sad

Fingers crossed that the wait is a good sign.
Hopefully by now, she's been seen and on her way back home.

Thanks for being here and for the sneaky hugs :)

Dh just phoned. She is fine :) I can breath again now.

The Dr thinks its some kind of virus that is causing her muscular pain. Dh said he mentioned meningitis but the Dr thankfully ruled it out. Just have to keep an eye on her and keep giving her neurofen.

I am going to give dd the biggest, longest hug ever.

That's wonderful, hope she feels better soon :)

Great !

Maybe she just woke up with a bad headache ? I guess that's pretty Ow-ey when you're 2.5 ?

Hope you have a nice, restful day after a night like that x

Dh just got home, the hospital is only up the road. Dd is flat out asleep. He's put her in our bed and I think I'll go and join her.
