I hope my readers aren't sick of the
subject of babies — and ours in par
ticular — for little else seems to hav>
happened to me and there is litte
time to think of anything else.

True to form, we walked the floor
for the first night I was home wita
sur little bundle of joy(?). The ‘irst
hour or two weren't too bad, but after

that frantic thoughts of something
drastically wrong  flitted —_ wildly
hrough my mind. A child surely

culdn’t scream so long unless it was
in terrible pain.

Yes, I worried as only the very new
mother can. It's lucky for the doctor
cur phone was out of order, for in
desperation I would surely have
aroused him, even at the ungodly hour
of 3 am.

Finally she slept. I wish I could say
the same for myself. but I lay tense
and stiff for the couple of hours of
night left, waiting for the wails to
commence again. ~

‘The next day passed peacefully
cnough with Elaine sleeping like.a
little angel. On every side I heard of
the experiences of other mothers and
sathers, and my fears of the night
seemed ridiculous indeed.

But that evening my worries return-
ed three-fold, for when-I picked her up
for her 10 a.m. bottle. it was obvious
that she was running a fever. And a
thermometer showed the astounding
temperature reading of 105 degrees,

And so, after a visit from the doctor.
our little girl landed back in the hos-
pital after being home for less than
two days. They tell me that babies
can run high temperatures for litile
cause sometimes, but that night with
my spirits at low ebb, taking her back
into hospital seemed a terrible tragedy,
and why, oh why, should it happen to
us?

But the next day, seemed like a repe-
tition of the one previous, with vari
aus people telling me how they too,
had had to send their baby baok inty
hospital. With that, and the news thaz
Flain's temperature was aguin normal,
life began to have a brighter ‘ining
and there seemed to be a distant pos-
sibility that we all might live!

She is back home again now —
end we haye our fingers crossed,

Speaking of temperatures reminds
me of an incident when I made a
stupid mistake, but a fortunate one,
as it turned out.

A young couple came to visit us la:
summer; they were expecting a family,
thin three months. The day before,
their departure the wife became ill
hut wouldn't hear of us calling the
doctor; she was determined to leave
for home the next day.

That evening when she complained
of feeling hot, I whipped out the ther-
mometer and took her temperature.
When we saw the 105 degeres it regis-
tered, we called the doctor immedixte-
ly — without asking permission

But to our amazement when he took
her temperature it was normal! Nevcr-
theless on account of other symptoms
she was admitted to hospital and it
was nip-and-tuck to save the baby.

In thinking over the events of the
evening and the puzzle of the hign
temperature, it dawned on me that in
my haste and anxiety I must have
rinsed’ the thermometer under the not
water tap! a E
