As the afternoon went on, Beth seemed to get worse - she couldn't keep any food down and was clingy and tired. We headed down to the doctors to have her checked out and by the time she was seen, she was resembling Molly (and not in a nice, hair tied back looking nice and neat kinda way). She was white, floppy and rather
uncommunicative. Within a few minutes, Beth and I were taking a rather fast, sirens on, lights flashing ride to the emergency room. Anyway, after numerous doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc. she's much
better and was allowed home Sunday lunchtime. We're still not entirely sure what was wrong - pneumonia/a virus/an infection/something else . . . were all suggested but no one seemed positive as to exactly what happened. I don't suppose it matters much now, she's back to her old self (just a bit more tired) and back doing her job of pushing all the limits. :) Here's a piccy to prove she's okay!I think she probably quite enjoyed the attention of it all. She actually asked to see
the doctor after leaving the hospital and got most annoyed when we said no, that she couldn't go back right now! I suspect it was the playroom that lured her in - she loved the kitchen and the craft table. Have to say that I rather liked the fact that they had two dedicated "play specialists" working during the day 
who were happy to entertain and play and even took Toby for 45 minutes to play!Oh, just a final bit, Toby was of course around for all of this - poor thing, he just get's hauled around with whatever we're doing (as you can see he looks a little on the tired side). He also has a cough and cold, needless to say we're keeping a rather close eye on him.

Thank goodness she is getting better. I think Mum and Grandma were in need of reviving brandy on Friday evening!
Oh my gosh! I am so glad everything turned out okay! That must have been very scary! Give big hugs to Beth and Toby from me. :)
Glad to see Beth is okay and Toby is none the wiser. Ah, to be a kid and have nothing to worry about but playing, eating, and sleeping.
I can't believe that. How scary! As usual, it sounds like you were very calm and collected about the whole ordeal. I, on the other hand, would be traumatized to the point where I wouldn't be able to talk about it even a year after it happened. :) I'm glad Beth is doing okay.
