hi everyone
so so sorry i couldn't make it last night. i was absolutely gutted.
was on my way home from work at 4pm and got a call of dh saying not to panic (!) but he was in hospital with ds who had had a fit!
ds is 17 months, generally very healthy and well and i was completely in shock.
to make it worse dh and ds were in chester at toys r us so he'd been taken to countess of chester hospital and i had to get all the way over there in rush hour, in the most atrocious weather ever! awful!
turns out he had a febrile convultion (sp?) basically a fit brought on by a high temperature he had (due to a virus) and his body was unable to cope with the sudden high temp.
they kept him in overnight and have let us come home this afternoon. he's still got the high temp but we're keeping a very close eye on him now!
the whole experience was horrendous. being in that ward with some really sick children and talking to parents who spend night after night in there. makes you really think about things and think how lucky you really are.
so we're all back home now and about to have a cuddle on the couch and watch a film.
anyway, i hope you all had a really lovely night and i hope we can organise another meet up very soon so i can meet with you all.
(ledodgy thanks so much for your message - i'm so glad i gave you my number as i was so worried about letting you all down and not being able to let you know. thanks xx)
