Not.....

.... where I was expecting to be today.


Alexandra went back to the Drs. this morning.  She rang me just after 8 am, to say the Dr. had given her a letter and that she had to go to A & E.

So, we left the children with Peter, and off we went.  For once, A & E was empty, and we were taken in almost straight away.

They did all the usual tests, blood, ECG, and took a swab of her throat. 

 Eventually it was decided that she had an upper respiratory tract infection, a strep throat (although the swab results hadn't come back, by the time we left).  Her bloods were ok, but she has a heart murmur.  That could be caused by being unwell.

So, she's been put on very strong antibiotics and has to go for an echo-cardiogram.

We eventually left at 2pm.  She was tired and hungry, but thankful that she had been so well looked after by the Gold Coast hospital. 

Hopefully, she will start to feel better in the next couple of days.
