Oh what a night? Brace yourselves for a long one girls...
I rang the surgery at 6 to get the out of hours number, someone picked up (not the receptionist) said she was there till 6.30, I asked if she could give me the out of hours number, she said whats the problem, so I had to go through it all again, she said she would get the doctor out to us, she said she would go and ring him and ring us back to tell us what was happening, she rang back 2 minutes later saying the docs mob was switched off which meant he was with a patient and she would keep trying him till 6.30 so if we hadn't heard anything by then then we were to ring the out of hours, she didn't ring back so I rang the out of hours, they said they would get a nurse to ring back, he rang about 8.30, so I had to go through it all over again, he said his son has these Febrile Convulsions as well, so he knew where I was coming from, I explained that I wasn't as worried about him having another fit because we are keeping on top of his temp now but I was worried that he has had a temp for the best part of a week (the first sign of a temp was last Saturday) he basically said not to worry, they can't do anything for him, and the same old thing to keep him cool, give him max dose calpol and ring if anything else happens. so I came into the living room to tell DH, DS1 was still up because we were expecting to have to shoot out to the out of hours surgery, I picked George up and he was hot again with cold hands and cheeks, exactly the same as Tuesday, I told DH and the phone rang, it was mum, I was talking to her in the kitchen DH came in asking where the calpol was Georges temp was up again, I just burst into tears down the phone to Mum, then DH called through G had been sick again, so I put the phone down, cleared George up and took his clothes off again, put him in front of the fan and my sister rang so I cried down the phone to her, then I had to ring mum back again and cried again, it took a good 20 minutes for G's temp to come back down but it thankfully has, so now we are just about to have dinner and go to bed. Our surgery is open tomorrow morning so we are going to take him down and demand they do something - anything - I cannot believe we are going to have an argument on our hands to get them to find out what is causing a 3 month old baby to have a high temp for nearly a week... it is utter madness.
Sorry that is so long and probably confusing, I am so tired I can hardly see straight, I am going to go and eat my dinner and get into bed, will let you all know how it goes tomorrow at the docs.
Have a good weekend everyone xxx
