A & E Run

Daddy & Mummy made a rush to KKH A&E late yesterday night, after baby Lleyton's temperature rose to 38.3deg. This came at the advice of KKH's "ask-a-nurse" service, after Daddy had felt that Lleyton's body was a bit warm during the evening, and promptly brought out the unused ear thermometer that was bought for Lleyton. He measured 37.8deg at 7.45pm.

However, Daddy & Mummy were later told by the duty doctor that the ear thermometer is not suitable for use for young babies, for the temperature measured will not be as accurate till they are about 1 year old (something to do with the structure of their ears as they grow). Thus, Lleyton is actually measuring 37.3deg, ie. not having fever.

Thank goodness, Lleyton is well. He is now sleeping soundly beside Daddy...
