Poor Lily, glad to see in your comment that she’s doing well. I’ve never had to endure A&E (which is amazing given I have four boys!) but if I do have to I hope it is as well run as the one you went to.

Glad Lily is OK, and Children’s A&E sounds like a brilliant idea. x

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments. She’s back at school with a complete shiner of a black eye, but it’s healing well and she’s ok which is the main thing. I’m so pleased that there are Children’s A&E’s scattered across the country – hopefully it’s something that will become more mainstream.

I’ve never heard of of an A&E just for children, I think it’s a brilliant idea though.

I’m so glad she’s ok and that you held it together when you were panicking – I have real difficulty doing that when mine are hurt….

Oh my gosh! I’ve been a total crap blogger and I return here for a visit to find poor Lily went face first onto the concrete!! I’m glad to hear she’s doing OK and hopefully nothing that a kiss and a cupcake couldn’t fix. I’m also in awe of your emergency visit. Don’t EVEN get me started about healthcare in the U.S.

Hope all is well…I’ve been interviewing furiously for a new job (which naturally I can’t mention on my own blog so I’ve been absent from life for much of 2010. Hopefully that will all change…

Be well and a big kiss to Lily!

After all your worry and upset and having seen Lily’s face, your experience at A&E certainly compensated. I am so relieved that her cheek wasn’t broken.

Wow that is an impressive A&E experience!
We had the opposite when I took the bear to casualty because his lips swelled up; the children’s A&E was closed as they were short staffed and they couldn’t even spare us a bay because they were too busy so I had to sit with a screaming one year old on my lap in the corridor.
They did get me some cold rice pudding though when he just wouldn’t stop screaming!!

So glad she’s alright. Generally I find A&E pretty good, particularly with children, and my cousin did her radiography training at Addenbroke’s, I know she can’t speak highly enough of it. x

We have a Children’s A&E as well. I have used it more than a couple of times for broken bones and stitches. They are fantastic, but I have to say our waiting time is nowhere near as good as yours. So glad Lily is OK.
