Ds4 has CP atm and is extremely ill.

we've had barely any sleep for 3 (or is it 4) nights and he is literally covered in them.

I had to take him to hospital this morning because he's so ill. I rang the emergency doc and explained how ill he is and she told me to take him straight up there....Its really bad!

Doctor saw us almost straight away, and luckily for us DS4 wasn't admitted because the docter said as he was reasonably happy and alert he could come home(he'd had the maximum calpol dose before we left, but still had a raging temp) and I should continue doing what I've been doing. He sadi he won't admit him because he's obviously contagious so would infect all the otehr children but also that because his immune system is so down he'd prob end up even more ill.
He siad that although his CP was very bad case its not the worst he's seen. The worst was ittle girl who was in ITU with kidney failure and needed skin grafts because the CP were so bad.

So please please please don't encourage teh CP virus onto your children, I really can't explain enough just how ill he is....
