Wed 17 July 2013
So I was in Luton airport preparing to board a plane to
Edinburgh for an overnight business trip.
J calls to say that Little S was looking rough and lethargic
and droopy and not waking up properly – what should we do?
We gave it ten minutes to see if Little S looked any better,
by which time I was at the flight gate!
With no change in Little S's condition, I turned around and J took Little S to
Barnet Hospital (via the kids’ schools) – she sounded pretty similar to how she
was just before December’s nightmare of two weeks in GOSH and the terrible news
that went with it.
Figuring out how to get back through security was fun but I
managed (along with about 15 people who had actually missed their flights!) and
made it back home, whilst J was waiting to be seen in Barnet.
And it turned out that Little S had given us a bit of a
scare but that she was actually fine – probably just a bit exhausted from the
heat (isn’t it really hot?!). Must admit that we were pretty worried that evening as
we thought it might happen again, and possibly worse this time, but we gave Little S a
more powerful fan and she slept in just a nappy – that seemed to do the trick
and she was in good form the next day!
Bizarrely, the same thing then happened to our car –
suffering big time in the heat, took it to the garage, they checked it over and
said it was fine and it’s been OK since!
Take care of your little ones in the heat – the moral of my
story today!
