Our Ben was rushed to hospital yesterday (in an ambulance) with a high fever and a swollen face and neck. The doctors do not have a clue what is the matter, with him but they have ruled out glandular fever. He will be in hospital for about three days while he is on an antibiotic drip. His twin sister Georgie visited him last night and they watched TV together!!! Georgie cried when she saw her brother and you can see that she still looks pretty miserable. Sarah.

Wishing Ben a speedy recovery!

I'm praying Sarah that perhaps by now a DX has been made. He'll soon be to rights again/hugs Lillian

Thank you Stella - I think the parents have had most of the worry. It is always so exhausting when little ones are not well.

Oh! dear Sarah, I've only just seen this post. I do pray that Ben is doing o.k. now. I see that Charlotte has rung you to say that he is doing better. Lovely to see the concern on Georgie's face. It's always a worrying time being in hospital with children. Prayers have been said for him to be fully healed. Love Chris

Thank you so much Chris.

When my Alex was 3 - he got a secondary infection from the Chicken Pox - his neck swelled up - and was in the hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotics. It was a scary scary time - but, the medicine took care of it and he barely remembers any of it. (I haven't forgotten though!!!). I also have twins and I know and understand that sweet concerned look on Georgie's face. (I bet she didn't want to leave Ben!) Bless her heart!!! The doctors will figure this out and the adults will never the forget the scaryness - but, the children will barely remember it!!! You and your Ben, Georgie and whole family are in my thoughts and prayers!!! Keep us informed!!! Hugs, Laura

Thank you Laura - you have made me feel a whole lot better before I go to bed. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

I am praying for a speedy recovery for Ben. It is so hard when our little ones are ill. Hope they find out what is wrong and cure it quickly. Hugs, Mary

Thank you so much Mary.

It's been over eight hours since you posted and went through all the comments to see if there was an update on his condition. Georgie has a concerned look. Hope they are able to make a diagnosis of what caused the fever and swelling. Sending prayers for Ben. Hugs for you as the distance is too far to travel and the waiting on how he is doing must be dreadful.

Thank you Anita. My daughter phoned a while ago to say that Ben is much better. He will probably be out of hospital tomorrow.

Poor little sweethearts. Hope Ben recovers quickly. Hugs to all

Thank you Michelle for the words.

Oh Sarah hope he is well soon. Hospital is terrible most of all for kids. Looks like he has a television ;o)

Thank you Bettina. He is in a private room with chairs that let down into beds for the parents. At our hospitals the staff encourage the parents to stay - gives the staff less work and hassle. We were so pleased that Georgie was allowed to see Ben.

Good luck for you. Here they act like you are a blowfly and just disrupt their routine. They still not got to the point that for little children a hospital is frightening and they need their mum + the parents are free helpers :o(
Hugs to both of them :-

Here's to a speedy recovery.. hope everything is sorted soon..

That must have been so scary for her. I am so glad he is responding to the anitbiotics. They may not know what germ it is, however they have something to help. Yeah! She looks like this situation is quite serious and she has to process it all.
