Baba in hosptital

Just got back from the hospital..my daughter has had a febrile convulsion whilst at her grandma's.
This is her first one so she is staying in hospital overnight and the wife is with her.
It's been a weird day anyway.
Started with the neighbour playing Celine Dion songs at 8:30. Then the wife decides that I should stop putting off the jobs that need doing on the bike ( that's just freaky ).
The wife goes out to town to get herself some birthday presents ( and yes it is her birthday today!! ) and forgets to tell me that her mum IS having baba, so there's the knock on the door, i get baba ready and send her packing to her grandma's.
At this time I think sod it, may as well try and put the tail-tidy on the bike ( ermax one ). After 4 hours of not knowing what i'm doing and getting myself cut and freezing hands I get the oem undertray off.
Hmm time for a brew me thinks, then the phone call, I dash round to grandma's ( slipping and sliding on the way ) to find baba curled up on the floor, butt naked, out cold and shivering like she has just been in a frozen lake.
The wife is already there on the phone speaking to a doctor. After 10 minutes the ambulance arrives and off baba and I go to the hospital with the wife following.
I need a drink!
Anyway, baba seems to be fine at the moment and the wife has been so calm, it's amazing!
I'm not freaking out at mo, just need to write things down. It might help me worry a bit less.
Off to get a drink now.
Ste.

Jez that doesnt sound to clever. Hope she recovers OK.

My daughter had a couple of these, the first of these was just as I left the doctors cos I knew something was wrong with her but he dismissed me.
He later admitted that he was worried that he'd missed pnemonia. Tosser.

Anyway she stayed in two nights at hospital, so don't worry if they keep her in an extra day, it's the best place for her to be.

She'll be fine, make the most of a quiet night to yourself!

By the way, how old is she?

She'll be 2 on the 29th.
What gets me is how quick it has happened, she was fine this morning.
No indications of any illness. Running around, being annoying as usual .

Ah, if she's nearly two then they probably would keep her in longer, as it's more unusual to have these fits as they get older, was it because of a high temperature?

Apparently so!
The thermometer reading from the medic was 39.2.

Ouch, that's high. Her Gran did the right thing with getting her clothes off for her to cool down. (Grans always know best! )

If you're wife is staying overnight in hospital she won't get much sleep, if I remember right they checked my daughter's temperate every hour.

She'll be fine, but I know how much of a worry it is. Don't have too much to drink in case you're needed!

Thanks!
Not getting drunk, just a having a couple.

Blooming heck Ste what a fright for you all. Am glad she seems to be ok and she`s in the best place for now.

Is unbelievable how kids can be fine one minute then really poorly the next! Is usually down to some sort of infection and resulting high temperature (with my son was always an ear infection). I`m sure that with some anti biotics she`ll be right as rain and home in no time
