Every parent's worst nightmare... One sick chick

Miss 5 is down for the count and has been for a few days now. There is nothing more fearful for a parent than a sick little one. They go down so suddenly and so severely that it is almost impossible to predict. When our first born got sick in his younger years we (my wife and I) were quick to react. Funnily enough the two girls who followed after him had less and less sudden response when illness threatened, but after a couple of trips to hospital which resulted in overnight stays we are now much more concerned when there is a niggle in Boo's throat or a bit of a cough. Hopefully we are on the mend now and mummy and daddy will get to have a solid night of slumber. I guess only time will tell... It is never fun when you have in the house one sick chick...
