Back in Raigmore

Friday 26th March

I had been up with Marc feeling sick and a sore throat his temperature was high so we went down stairs put him on the sofa and gave him calpol we never got back to sleep.

Once Courtney was off to school i thought right do a few wee bits of house work then grab a coffee as Marc was dosing on the sofa.

Yeah right i made the coffee never got it !!! I was coming into the living room with my coffee and thought oh shit put the coffee down right where i was Marc was having a big fit on the sofa... I spoke to him he didn't have a clue i was there so i thought give it a few mins ad see if he comes out on his own.

But after five mins i thought nope we need help on this one so i called an ambulance he was just coming out of it when they turned up and was really sleepy and felt really sick and he was still giving the odd jerk every so often so of to Raigmore we went.

On the way there i thought shite Courtney's class room looks on to our street i hope she didn't see it as she would panic so i quickly called the school so they could tell her he was ok but needed to go to hospital the usual stuff but she still worries about him.

For some reason we were taken to A&E but were soon on the kids ward Marc was so confused in A&E he got a bit scared as he is use to going straight to kids ward. On the kids the doctor didn't know he was now and very nice asked Val who was on about him and she said he is ill as if he was better he would be following us around wanting to help or telling kids who were crying to be brave !!! He is well loved on that ward.....

Well the doctor or Doctor David as Marc now calls him said it was a viral infection that caused the big fit and we might have to stop over night just to make sure he is ok and his temp didn't go up and cause another fit.

But by 7pm he was sitting up playing a ps2 still not eating but was drinking ... So i said to them look i really want to take him home what they nurses are doing here i can do at home i do it anyway please can we go ..

So Doctor David spoke to his boss and YESSSSSSSSSSSS we were allowed she said yeah i know them he will be safe they on open access any ways !!!! Cant mind her name but she is a brill down to earth consultant.

We were told any more fits or temp gets really high just come back. So my sister Karen picked us up and off home we went. Yeah it was a great feeling walking out those doors again !!!!!

Lets hope we don't see the place for a long time...They are going to see if we can get emergency treatment to try at home first so we don't have to go to hospital.

So how long will we not see the place for ???
