Fever, vomitting, diarreah, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, not sleeping at all

Kaitlyn's gotten worse last night, she threw up most of her food after each feed. We had to change the bedding twice. Her nose is raw from being blocked and runny all the time. She couldn't breath properly so she was refusing to feed. And after a VERY restless night, this morning, she had a temperature of 38.9. It went from 36.3 to 38.9 in a matter of MINUTES! It totally freaked us all out, my parents and I were running around the house trying to calm the baby and get the fever down. After a dose of panadole and 40 minutes of being cuddled non stop, her fever finally broke. The poor baby looks seriously miserable.

We took Kaitlyn to the Rowe Street Medical Centre (at Eastwood). We had an appointment for 11:15am. We went because one of my parents' friends said they were good. Anyways, we got there, there were a queue of 20 people waiting, on a row of seats, cramped into the narrow hallway. :( We waited 45 minutes past our appointment, only to find out the doctor hasn't even got up to the 9:30am appointment yet!!! Kaitlyn was getting increasingly tired and upset. We left without seeing the doctor. What's worse, that "medical centre" made all their patients sign the medicare slip before they even get to the doctor!!!! So we paid without being able to see a doctor! Is that even LEGAL!!???

We went back to our usual GP at Harris Park, and Kaitlyn finally got to see a doctor. She was dehydrated and irritable. She has not had a wet nappy since dinner last night! Anyways, we are to give her electrolyte drinks to keep her hydrated. IF she continues to vomit after each meal, and have excessive diarreah and have high temperature, we are to take her straight to hospital.

I hope she gets better soon. It's quite upsetting to see my baby sick and can't do much about it.
