So on Saturday afternoon at about quarter to four, J gave Little S her afternoon heart meds, Captopril, and went to have a nap.
About half an hour later I thought to myself that it was time for Little S to have her afternoon meds and promptly did the same. :(
It was another half hour later, when J woke up again, before I twigged that I should have probably checked with J first, and we found out what we'd done - oops.
We checked with GOSH and they told us to take Little S to Barnet Hospital to make sure that her blood pressure hadn't dropped too much - Little S wasn't exhibiting any worrying symptoms but we were getting pretty anxious.
I drove Little S to the hospital - she thought it was a great adventure - it's so dark outside!
We got fast tracked to see the pediatric A&E nurse - and we had Peppa Pig videos to keep us company - Little S seemed to be fine - sats were good and, if anything, her blood pressure was a little high rather than low.
The doctor checked her over and said he thought Little S was doing great - he let us know that a double dose of any of her medicines still leaves her below any toxic levels so we shouldn't feel too guilty or get too worried.
Little S came home, happy with her night out.
