Tuesday 4 August 2009

On Tuesday 4 August at 6pm, I realised that Katriona's head - specifically her anterior fontanelle - was swollen and bulging. I knew that this was not normal, but just to be sure I googled and discovered I was infact quite correct. As it was already 6pm and therefore past closing time for most doctors surgeries I asked my online buddies whether I should freak out and go to the ED at the children's hospital or just see the doctor in the morning. One of them sagely suggested called the Health Direct line and asking them what I should do. So I did and they said not to freak out but to definitely have her assessed by a doctor in the next 24 hours.
