    So sorry to hear that @Thevictorian just keep her on water for a while until it settles down, make sure that she has water. Were they playing in the park? She could have caught it there.

    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    I like the scent of the Sarcococca - not many flower scents I dislike. Some people do tend to lose their sense of smell ( and taste) as they get older.
