So we ended up going into the children's hospital today as we noticed that Katriona's eyes were 'sunsetting'. I called the Health Direct people again and they advised heading straight in and making sure all was OK.

After waiting for what seemed to be an eternity - even after jumping the entire triage queue - we were seen by Dr Jo. As it turns out, because the sunsetting eyes was not accompanied by any other symptoms, such as uneven bilateral responses or lethargy, that it was not 'that' concerning after all. They did want us to stay for a few hours to do neurological observations, but Kiffin and Keira were really losing the plot because they were tired and I am informed enough to do the obs myself at home so we convinced them that we should go home.

So we got home at 4.30pm where I promptly did as much cooking as I could. We are now the proud owners of Capsicum soup, meatballs, Salmon and Spinach Quiche and Roast Pumpkin, Fetta and Caramelised Onion Quiche - YUM! We have so many meatballs that I don't think I really need to cook the lasagne and chicken tomorrow - but I've defrosted it now so I have to!

I have told Katriona that it is OK for her to fix her head herself to save herself the trouble of having surgery. I am not sure she knows how though.
