Just looking for a bit of hand holding really as I'm by myself and away from her.

DD(3) sent to hospital by GP this afternoon with tummy cramping, raging temp, high pulse, shallow fast breathing. They think some kind of infection. She also has a weird rash on her leg Hmm

I've been with her since then - she's had a cannula put in for anti-bs tho not had them yet as well as some medicine in her bottom Confused bc she spat out the oral ibuprofen...

Now I've come home to feed the baby (7mth) so DH stayed but hope to go back later. Am on autopilot, bathing dd2 & now feeding. Don't know what I'll do w myself when she goes to bed. Ha! This'll be the one night without bedtime dramas to keep me occupied won't it?

Hope she feels better soon. Your DH won't. I'm only 5'4" and I'm to tall for those fold away beds. I suspect your DH won't have got much sleep.

How is dd today? Hope she's feeling better Smile.

Allowed to come home but not discharged yet. Back tomorrow for more IVs then blood results Monday. Hopefully will just say a viral infection, nothing nastier, then officially discharge.

Phew. Relieved.

Thanks again for all your kind words & thoughts, was a great support. Smile
