A and E visit

So yesterday my little girl woke up completely out of the blue with a swollen eye! With it being a Saturday, we took her to the chemist, and he wasn't too concerned, feeling it was a minor skin infection on her eyelid. We weren't either at this stage because she was well within herself and it didn't seem to bother her at all. Though he did encourage us to go to the walk-in if it got any worse. Well, it did! 😭 My poor baby woke after her nap and the swelling had got bigger above and under her eye and she could barely open it. Six traumatic hours in a and e later, and no less than five specialist visits from fantastic doctors and nurses, we were finally allowed to go home with high dose antibiotics and her eye is on the mend now thankfully with visible improvement. So very thankful for our NHS and a wonderful Children's A and E department. But what a stressful Saturday, I think the most traumatic thing aside from waiting for my girl's diagnosis was the sights and sounds of other children and babies😪 So many poorly children and frazzled, emotional parents. We're just having a chilled Sunday with lots of cuddles! Nothing worse than when your baby is not well 😔
