Thanks everyone. :D

I'm a zombie this morning, she was up twice in the night. We were meant to be on the road by now, but I'm ironing and packing while dh and dd catch up on sleep!

Am so relieved it was a false alarm. The hospital reassured us they we did exactly the right thing in taking her up, so I'm not feeling too bad about wasting their time. Non blanching rash = REACT.

Didn't see this until now-from the pic I was gonna ask whether anything had been rubbing as it looks more like bruising/trauma and glad it was!I saw a child once with similar from wearing a tight rucksack.Bruising would be more likely if there is no fever. Definitely right to get it checked tho Glad everything is ok.
