Infection lands Grandbaby Cloud in hospital!

Very sorry to hear that Cloud. I hope the antibiotics clear it up quick-smart.

I assume she is at poorly enough that the hospital doesn't phase her - by the time she starts perking up she should be used to the routine.

Best wishes to you & family.

Poorly means fever/infection etc.) oh yeah, Brits wouldn't say fever either, unless the temperature required medical attention (104+). For anything below that, you'd just say they "had a temperature"
