my mum and sister had a very scarey day yesterday.
my sister was working and mum minding her two DD's. DD2 had a temp and runny nose.
at 11am mum gave her more panadol and my sister rang to see how she was. as she was on the phone mum heard a loung thud, she went to the room and my neice was laying flat on her back, she tried to pick her up and she was limp and started convulsing. my sister ran out of the office and had a 45min drive from hell not knowing what she was going to pull up to.
mum rang the ambo's, she convulsed for more than 5mins.
she was taken to hospital and thankfully came home last night. Her temp had gotten to high (highest recorded was 39.6 and she had a febrile convulsion.
today i went out and bought a new thermometre because mine has been playing up for a long time and i have just been slack about it. my mum cannot get the glassy look out of her mind, my mum is a panicker normally but i think she did really well yesterday she was on her own with the 2 kids.
at one stage she took her out the front driveway and called out to some ppl across the rd for help, they never came over and they never helped, i am appauled. surely you could tell something wasnt right and even if not then maybe when the ambo came screaming down the street sirens blaring, but they never came over to find out nothing.

anyway she has been to the doctors today and is ok, she prob doesnt even remember the events of yesterday....
