OK girls, go hug your loved ones and lock up your medicines. Today sitting by the pool with friends while watching our kids swimming, we also watched a helicopter come into land at the hospital. The flight path and landing pad is just a hundred metres from us, and later we watched it leave.

Tonight I have received a phone call from one of my closest friends. The helicopter we saw was child flight. On board was her son. He’s 3. His Grandma was baby sitting him and he took a whole heap of her blood pressure medication. He stopped breathing twice. He is now in ICU in Westmead Childrens Hospital in Sydney. Stable, but still with a really slow heartbeat and extremely low blood pressure.

I feel sick. So for me, please, go and hug your loved ones.

Wendy
