what a night! I had just started to do some quilting, keira was happily playing with her new junior scrabble, retro daddy was doing the groceries when things with finn turned bad! I’m trying to forget it all but we called the ambulance and were raced off and spent a few hours at the hospital with him.
Poor finnie, he just hadn’t been himself all week, getting over a tummy bug and must have come down with something else and the fever just took over him! I’d been giving him panadol during the day but by night time he wasn’t responding to me, was totally lifeless, eyes half open and making funny noises till we got to hospital. Thankfully he is almost back to his normal old self this morning! He just wants to be picked up and cuddled all day and calls out mama whenever I’m out of sight, dear little thing.
We got home at midnight and are totally zonked! I need some serious quilting and calming craft tonight just to forget about it all…..so the binding wasn’t done last night but yesterday afternoon I did quilt this lovely japanese fabric from a few years back. It’s waiting for some bright red and white binding and is the perfect playmat size. Retro daddy, bless him, asked me did I piece all the little squares together…..um no but it’s such a pretty fabric!
Oh my gosh – poor Finn! I am glad he is feeling better but that must have been very scary for you all. Poor little man xxx
Oh Corrie, I can not imagine how you are feeling today after such a distressing night.
I am glad to hear Finn is on the mend – hopefully by the end of an uneventful day his Mum will be too.
Eek – hope today is very calm and boring for you all!
Poor Finn! And you must have had such a fright. I’m glad everything is okay now – do they know what caused it?
Ohhh, poor little guy! I just hate it when they get sick and you feel so helpless. Give him lots of hugs and kisses today, he deserves it!
Poor little Finn
Glad he is one the mend now, that must of been really scary!
The play quilt loos great, fantastic idea for a fairly easy project.
Oh my goodness Corrie, how scary for you both. Finn must have caught something along with the tummy bug and it just took over his immune system. Things like that can happen at anytime when we have kids and it is very scary isnt it. I hope it doesnt happen again to him. He must feel exhausted along with you too. It seems a cup of tea and some quilting time is required for you to relax! Lots of hugs xxx Sue
Goodness how awful! It’s amazing how sick they can suddenly get and how quick they can recover. Not nice but glad to hear you are cheering yourself up with some quilting. I thought you’d pieced it all too! It’s so real patchwork looking. Have a lovely quiet night tonight!
OH no! Poor guy. I’m so glad that he’s doing better.
Poor Finn and you all its so scary how quickly kids can get sick. I hope he’s better soon. I must say he is such a handsome little man.
Very scary, poor little guy. So glad he is ok and getting better.
Love that fabric it’s so cute even if you didn’t sew all the squares together 😛
Yes – it is so scary. One of our twins had a febrile seizure – went to bed fine and in the space of three hours her temp had shot up over 40 degreees. Thank goodness for understanding ambos and great hospitals !!
Oh, how frightening! I hope you’re having a ‘Spoil Mummy’ day too after all that.
Oh, poor little Finn! I am so glad he feels better! He needs a lots of cuddles from his mummy! Hope this night will be better for all of you! X
Oh, poor little fella (and poor mum and dad!). Glad he’s doing ok now.
I am glad he is on the mend now. It is so horrible when they are sick like that.
Glad he’s ok, that sounds a bit scary! Your quilt looks magnificent.
Poor wee man. I spent a night in hospital with destructoBoy when he was about Finn’s age. Nothing worse than seeing your baby in that situation.
Glad Finn’s better, he’s so spunky! And what a compliment from Retro Daddy, thinking your so amazing to join all those tiny sqaures! Such a sweet comment heehee
The poor little Dude! So good to hear that he is on the mend. What a fright, that would have been so scary for you.
Am so relieved to hear Finn is back home and on the mend.
What a traumatic experience for you all. Kids bounce back so quick though so fingers crossed all is now well at your place xxx
Poor Finn! Big hugs and kisses from over here. To you too- any hospital trip can be very very stressful! xo m.
Oh no you poor things! Gee that must have been scary Corrie. I’m so glad to hear that little Finn is on the mend now. I hope you get your sewing in tonight.:)
Ohmygosh! How very scary!!! I’m so glad Finn is on the mend. And you spoiled the surprise — I thought you’d pieced all those little squares together too — it’s sure a cute quilt!
So happy Finn is feeling better, what a scare:(
That quilt is so pretty and sewing the binding on will be a nice relaxing evening.
I am so glad to hear that Finn is okay. What a scare!!
Oh no! Poor Finn and poor you – it is so scary when they’re sick. I hope he’s on the mend and you manage to get some sleep over the weekend.
xx
glad to hear that Finn is feeling better now!!
Poor little guy, that must have been a scare! I am glad to hear he is better now, hope he recovers completely soon. The quilt is gorgeous. Love the colors and can see the kids playing on it!
Oh poor fin, that must have been awful for all of you. It’s amazing how quickly they go downhill and how quickly they bounce back.
Glad to hear Finn is on the mend… sounds like febrile seizure… I know the terror of them, my two oldest have had them… we’re keeping our fingers crossed that our youngest will be safe from them…. as scary as they are, know that they are a defense against the fever and that children outgrow them when their bodies are mature enough to respond better to fever. It’s more strain on mom’s and dad’s than for the little one’s who suffer them… chin up, know that he is safe and well, and try not to dwell on it too much… quilting is definitely in order… take care Corrie 😉
Oh my goodness, I hope he is fully recovered. That’s frightening. x
