Meanwhile, back at the ranch, a crisis well-handled

My phone buzzed during one of the meeting at Montauban. I sent a message saying "stuck in a meeting". Back came the reply "xxx having fits, can you please phone an ambulance".

OK. Out of the meeting and get on the phone to Pat. (What did we do before mobile phones ?) No reply. Phone Carol Foucachon. She said that Pat had been on the line to her and was heading off to help.

They all handled it so well.

Pat phoned the schools and arranged for our kids to stay for lunch.

Ben rang for an ambulance, but didn't get through for some reason we don't understand.

So they phoned the doctor and when Pat got there they bundled the lad in the car and got him looked at.

The doctor was not too concerned - there's a tummy bug (gastro) going round, he had been unwell, his temperature had spiked and he'd had febrile convulsions. It's a case of keeping him cool and just watching him closely.

And how to translate febrile convulsions for the doctor ?

Don't. Reenact it. It worked.
