Hospital drama , and what do you mean the ambulance has broken down!!

The calm after the storm today !

Monday nite, Darcy's temperature rose to 39.7 oC ! after Calpol, and a luke warm bath we got it back to 37oC, but it rose to 40oC by 9pm, we got onto NHS Direct and they sent for a Paramedic, and Ambulance, which because of Darcy's age, wanted to send Darcy to hospital for a check up, well the ambulance went to pull off, and it broke down !! apparantly it was midnite when it was collected by a pick up !!

It took about an hour to get a second ambulance, and get to the hospital , where darcy was refered to the childrens ward , and finally given a room , the last one else she would have been on a ward of 4 !! i managed to stay over as well, thankfully !

After 5 blood tests had come back mostly clear, finally after a chest x-ray they discovered darcy had a chest infection, and was given anti-biotics ! Jayne and I now have colds though !!

we finally got home around 7pm on tuesday, what a day !!

The main thing was though that the hospital staff were brilliant, and darcy is on the mend !!

No more scares though please, Darcy !!
