with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

Fun episodes in parenting: spending most of yesterday in the children's ward with a grey and shaking Rebecca while they tried to figure out whether she has a kidney infection. After much prodding, poking, palpating and osculting and one prolonged and particularly fraught attempt to obtain a blood sample (against vociferous and dare I say speaking as her mother impressively articulate not to say compelling objections from the hapless patient) the jury is still out. So we have been sent home with a bottle of pink antibiotic syrup while we wait for the lab to analyse the urine sample it took us about 6 hours and I forget how many frantic dashes to the loo to obtain.
Now I'm at home with a rather more cheerful little girl, planning a quiet day. We may sit in the sun. Or go for a gentle walk. And be thankful it doesn't seem to have been more serious.

Argh, poor kid. I have unpleasant memories of multiple nurses and my mother holding me down so they could get a blood test done.
