oh yes vinnie - i had to pay for car parking and petrol last night for him. So, the story is.....
Mini was upstairs playing on the wii with junior. SHe decided to come downstairs while sitting on her push and ride car. Obviously thats not such a good idea, she falls straight off it and tumbles down the top half of the stairs - 7 steps.
I run up to her, and she is screaming, laying down and wouldnt get up. While i am trying to coax her into sitting up, she goes quiet. At this point, her left arm is sticking straight out behind her, and i am panicking that she has broke it or something. I realise that she is staying too quiet, so manage to lift her head enough to see that she is uncouncious - eyes closed, head all floppy and a mouth full of sick. I then start to really panic, lift her onto her side into recovery position, while still mindful of her arm. After about a minute (which felt like a lifetime), she came round again and started whimpering. She was so pale it was scary. I brought her down onto the couch on juniors knee, and rang for an ambulance, as she still wasnt responsive.
Paramadics and fast repsonse unit came, sped her straight off on the 20 min ride to hospital. I rang ex to say could he meet us at the hospital, for some moral support (i knew i should have known better, but i was panicking).
We get to hospital, peads a and e where she i seen and assessed. By now she seemed to be picking up again, and was playing quite happily with the toys. So ex was thinking, all is well - he can drive us home and all sorted. (this is after i agreed to give him petrol money for coming down). But, just while we were waiting for the second doc, she was sick again, so nurse RAN to get doc, who then said she had to be kept in. Ex kicked off at this point, as he realised i would have to stay in with her, which meant he would have to have junior and therefore miss his pub night. He would also have to take junior back to our house to pick up breathing machine and spare clothes. I had to pay extra petrol for this, leaving me with about £6 - and no money in bank till saturday.
{god this is long, sorry]
He goes off in a right strop, while mini is took round to ward. She has perked up again, but is still dipping quite badly and quickly at times, so they want to keep an eye on her. She was sick for the last time at 2.30 am, and from about 3 a m she perked right up, and seems right as rain now - other than really tired, which is probably as the result of a late night.
I then ring ex to say we are coming home, he says he has already dropped junior off at home an hour ago (on her own) and is now at work
So, sister rings to see how mini is, and to inform me she has put money in my account as she know the stunts ex would be pulling.
So, we are back home, knackered but otherwise ok - apart from glue ear which doc diagnosed while doing full check up. Guess that means grommets - but only in one ear.
I really mean it, thanks so much for keeping me busy with texts last night - it really stopped me from going into full panic mode, and meant i could actually listen to what the docs were saying
Am now going to play on ipod to try and get some sleep, so will see you all latet
