Hospital again

This morning Annie noticed Raphael was dopey and had a high fever and so she took him to our local GP. She immediately told Annie to take Raphael to the emergency department in hospital and so Annie rushed in.

Raphael was admitted to hospital and a doctor drained him of blood (well took eight vials anyway) and shoved a catheter up his penis (ouch!) to extract some urine. Annie said that she did an excellent job. I left work in the afternoon and arrived at the emergency department but Raphael had just left and was travelling to the paediatrics ward by the time I caught up with them. The antibiotics that they had giving him intravenously had already done a marvellous job by then and had perked back up to his usual jovial self.

After a bit of car and baby sitter juggling we eventually left Raphael sleeping in hospital for the night at about 8pm and went home to have a good night's sleep.
