Sophia's finger got shut in a door 5 weeks ago. The swelling went 90% away in an hour, so we didn't go to the hospital.

Two weeks later it hadn't gone down any further, so we went to the GP, who said "She can bend it, it's only painful when it gets squeezed, it'll probably be fine, come back in two weeks if it's not."
Two weeks later, two days before we were going to go back, it swelled up to 50% larger than normal, on a Saturday. So I spent 45 minutes on the phone to the NHS and they sent me to the out of hours service, who gave us horrible tasting antibiotics.

A week after that, 90% of the swelling has gone again, so today I phoned the GP, who has referred her to the radiologist at the Sick Kids hospital to get it looked at.
Tomorrow I can phone *them* and get an appointment for her.
And hopefully they'll sort it out.

Meanwhile, Gideon still hasn't managed to have a "your ears have nothing clogging them up" scan (because of Covid, and then him being too old for sleeping through electrodes on his forehead, and then having a cold every time we go). But is now on the waiting list *again* to keep on trying.
