kids and boils

Well just a quick note before i settle down to watch my favorite show the walking dead,

The other day my 3 year old fell over at childcare and grazed his knee, a few days later it became infected, as you can imagine trying to dress a 3 year old boil is a bit of a mission!
We went up to the local hospital and got some antibiotics after i noticed a lump in his groin

Living out here i often have in the back of my mind the fear of one of the kids or any of us, getting terribly sick or injured.  having nursed remotely for a dozen years i have seen a lot of horrible situations and urgent evacuations.
Now that I'm a parent it doesn't bear thinking about --- that fear of waiting for the RFDS to come and transport you to a regional hospital.

When my daughter was 4 months old she got a nasty gastro virus and we sat in ED all day waiting for RFDS to come and get us, fortunately after a few plane delays, and several hours of fluid through her Naso gastric tube she picked up and we ended up just staying in our local hospital for a couple of nights

The RFDS does an amazing job, they are dedicated people , and as a nurse ive spent many many hours at someones bed side wishing the plane could fly faster !!


I was lucky enough to do a few flights , not with the RFDS but through the local hospital and we had to go and get someone from a remote community, the pilot had to circle the runway a couple of times while the RAN(remote area nurse) chased the donkeys of the runway.  Landing on a dirt runway in a little plane is actually kind of cool!!  although i tend to get a bit air sick, so being a permanent flight nurse is out of the question LOL!!!



If anyone else has had a trip on the RFDS would love to hear the story
