My lovely hospital visit

That heading may see really silly. I took Hastings to the Hospital emergency room on Wednesday morning after being sick for a week and unable to get an appointment at my doctor. He had two really bad nights choke coughing, so Wednesday morning 8am we dropped dada off at work and headed to the hospital. 8.15 we arrived at the hospital. 8.20 we went into triage and saw a really lovely nurse who said just fill in the paperwork and she will meet us around at the main door (usually a few hours later) but 8.23 I heard 'I'm just waiting here when you are ready' from the nurse. 8.25 into the hospital and got a bed and had 2 students and 2 nurses over to check Hastings vitals and do his chart up. 8.40 two doctors came and talked to us and found Hastings had Tonsillitis. Poor baby. So a couple of minutes later they came over with medicine for him and some hydralyte to get some electrolytes into him. 9.00 Nurses brought some toys over for Hastings and a coffee over for me. 9.30 the doctors came back to check on the boy and played with him for about 20 min walking him around the room letting him play on the scales. As you now may have guessed we were the only people in the kids section.

The doctors and nurses where amazing and so so great with Hastings. I could not have asked for a better hospital experience. Luckily Hastings is getting much better and he has not needed to take antibiotics so that is even better. Hopefully we don't need to go to the Hospital any time soon but if in the future we need to go to the hospital I will not be so scared.
