You never stop worrying..........

First about your children, then about your grandchildren - now I am very worried about my little great-grand-daughter who is nearly three. She has just come out of hospital after three days being re-hydrated and monitored for HSP after an acute stomach bug. Her hands and feet had black bruises and of course my poor grand-daughter-in-law thought of meningitis. She has to be seen by her own doctor once a week to check her kidneys. I googled HSP and it usually clears up after a time.
Her parents spent a lot of time at the hospital, but fortunately another grand-daughter came down to Kent from Hull, where she is at university, and looked after her five-year old niece. Big families can be very useful in time of crisis.
My daughter, her grand-mother, is in close touch by phone and Facebook from New Zealand.
