    Spoke to health direct and she said to take her to emergency. In the meantime of me getting my bag she woken up properly and crawling and it's up to 35.9

    Do you think it was because she was tired. Should I still go? I don't want to waste their time... Ahh wish DH was here!

    I would take her, she is little and hasn't been well and it was a low temp

    It won't be a fun wait and it probably won't be your last visit to the emergency department as a mummy but its worth it just in case there is something untoward going on. must be doubly hard without your DH

    Emergency was packed. After 3 hours a nurse saw us and did the ob's but her temp was back at 36. I took my thermometer too and it's right. When she fell asleep though it dropped back to 34.1 which the nurse said he hadn't heard of before.

    However, we weren't high on the priority list because her temp was ok now so we ended up leaving and I'll get her into my gp tomorrow.

    There were some crazy sick kids there. I hope dd is just coping with a cold.
