Iris poorly still...

Poor old Iris, after her temperature kept shooting up past 39c, we phoned NHS direct, who 'surprise surprise' advised us to take her somewhere to be checked out. They then booked an appointment for us up at the walk in doc clinic up at homerton hospital.
Don't get me wrong, I think the NHS direct is a really good service, but, sometimes it seems like you might as well just go straight to A&E or a walk in doctors service if it's out of hours.
I tend to think of NHS direct as someone to call to give you a reason to take your child to A&E.

Anyway though the doctor examined her and said she has a very sore throat and a nasty virus, so she has to be given paracetomol and ibuprofen at regular intervals until her temperature stays down.

She woke up this morning with one of her eyes stuck together.

Poor little Iris.
