Update on Sarah

Sarah has been admitted to hospital. She's had a good sleep and is absolutely fine and chirpy this morning. As she has been every day after these episodes. I think we may have made enugh fuss that she will get some experienced attention and the tests she needs today.

To clarify my points yesterday:

All the various support staff were excellent throughout. Quick, efficient, helpful, faultless. The only thing you can't get in a hospital is to see a doctor.

Is it right, that as a matter of routine, the wait to see a doctor, unless you've severed your arm with a chainsaw, is 3, 4, 5 hours or more?

When my daughter had her first episode I told the doctor I thought they were fits and could she do the appropriate tests. She said I was wrong and it was not necessary. On the next four occasions I had the same discussion. Surely that's not right. We have made so much fuss that this might finally happen now. I will be the happiest dad in the world to find I'm wrong, they were right and I'll publicly say I'm an idiot. But should it need all this?
