ok this was the most dreadful week of my life.
dd got really sick on monday, nhs direct told me to just keep giving her drinks..
by tuesday she was really weak, she stopped drinking.
I got her a docs appt for the pm, but she went downhill so I took her to casualty
in the meantime dh was also shockingly ill, but with diaorrhea, was loathe to leave him with ds but had no choice
at casualty they decided to give her a cannula for a drip to hydrate her. we were admitted to childrens ward and had to stay the night (the horrors)
dh wasnt allowed to come and help as he had the bug so had to deal on my own. struggled. took no food in with me so nearly starved til a play support worker gave me a mars bar and offered to watch dd for 5 mins so I could go to parents room for a cup of tea. ate dd s leftovers the rest of the time. got home 9pm last night
she has anti biotics but they dont know for sure what was wrong, they thought a water infection. waiting on a culture result on saturday, if its sinister have to take her back in for poss iv antibiotics and scan.
meanwhile ds being a nightmare for dh as he misses me and his sister am so
glad to be home but dd really not well. have wrapped her up tight and shoved in garden for fresh air for 5 mins while Im here. ds having nap. my mums coming in a minute.
dh ok enough to go to work today but ive phoned in sick for tonight. feel completely knackered and on the edge.
some kids in there were so ill its really frightened me. am scared of food poisoning/germs. why cant my kids be normally ill? noone elses kids need to go to hosp for being sick.
