Nose Bleeds

Since getting home Tom has been suffering more and more from nose bleeds.  Not huge ones, but significant by the fact blood has been dripping from his nose.  These started in Oz, but have gradually been getting worse.  Unfortunately most of them come in the middle of the night and some nights they have happened more than once.  

Last night we had another bad night, so I called the Dr.  She was able to see him today so we went in.  There's nothing badly wrong with him - just a fragile nose which is normal for a 4 year old.  He's been given some cream for his nostrils to help heal the blood vessels and if that doesn't work he'll be referred to the Ear, Nose and Throat Department and maybe have his nose cauterised.

Anyway, I was impressed with the service here.  I really had to battle each time I wanted to see the Dr in Telford, here they do everything they can to see you asap.  What a nice surprise.
