Chill Out!!!

We had a small problem last week with a blister on Amelia's gum brought on we think by the molar underneath. She is currently cutting 4 teeth and at one point last week a blister which had formed over her bottom left, burst. The following day it had gone a very strange colour and the poor little mite was in a considerable amount of pain. Anna carted her off down to the doctor where her temperature was taken an an incredible 40°C. Bearing in mind that 37 is normal, 38 is running a fever and at 39 and above you're in danger of suffering from seizures or fits known as febrile convulsions. They prescribed antibiotics and told us to get the temperature down immediately. Anna got Amelia straight into a cool bath and thankfully she cooled off and as suddenly as the whole episode began, it subsided. The medicine seems to have done the trick with the gum looking much less angry and Amy back to her usual chirpy self. She is pictured here painting pots for Jane and Ffelsh in honour of Mother's Day,
