Sleep is for wimps!

It's now 10am and I've been awake about 30 hours now! This sleep malarkey is for wimps! Or for mummy's when their children aren't ill!

About 11pm last night Charlotte had an asthma attack. Given that she has a cough and cold this isn't too unusual. What is unusual is that she had another one at 12.30am an a third at about 2am.

We rang the NHS 111 number and they advised us to go down to a+e which was full of the usual Friday night clientele and very busy! After being given a dose of calpol and steroids Charlotte brightened up and was absolutely fine.

We've been let home with a high dose of steroids as strict instructions to go back if she has another attack. I hope we don't! The steroids have got her bouncing off the walls with far too much energy for a child who's been awake all night!

I know she feels better now because she's got toys everywhere and has realised she's not able to go swimming at her cousins party today so stropped over that! Going to be a long day! Only 1.5 hours until it's my turn to have a sleep!
