Mummy has been taking mc since Friday until today (Wednesday). Since Friday night you had fever above 38 degree Celsius. On Sunday noon, jie jie's turn to have high fever but your fever seemed to have subsided without much medication since morning. I gave you propolis to bring down the fever and pear juice to cool down your body. However, your fever came back on Sunday night. On Tuesday, we went to Dr. F. Both of you were
tested with swap by poking a stick into your nostril to check if you've got influenza A. The result was positive. Dr subscribed antiviral and she said to take for 5 days, once every 12 hours.
This virus is so strong and below are the tortures you and jie jie experienced.
1) migraine
2) body ache
3) Nausea
4) High fever (38.5 to 40 dc)
5) Running nose and stuffy nose
6) Sneezy - only JK
7) Tiredness and weakness
8) Extreme exhaustion
9) Sore throat - only jie jie
10) Cough - only JK
11) Lots of smelly farts
Both of you have been calling mummy non stop asking for help because of extreme uncomfortable condition, from stomach discomfort to having the urge of vomiting, migraine, cold feet(JK).
Mummy would massage both you and jie jie's head during migraine attacks and luckily it didn't happen at the same time. Mummy also massaged your legs almost the whole night on certain night. Running back and forth kitchen and living hall, up and down stairs, drained my energy. When you couldn't sleep in the room, I would take you downstairs to try sleeping on the sofa.
Even though I've given paracetamol to both of you, the fever just won't go away, especially you. I couldn't give you another dose until 6 hours gap is up. So I had to just keep you away from the fan and air condition and close the window to prevent mid night cold wind.
Mummy is worried sick so I dare not go to work and stayed home to care for both of you. Daddy advised to get kakak and granny to care for both of you during the mid night and day time but I think I would understand both your needs better. I prayed to Kwan Yin for speedy recovery for both of you.
It has been a while since both of you last fell sick. Mummy has been taking propolis -5 drops, in hope to stay save from this virus.Daddy has been busy at work and only reaches home around 12am every night ever since he joined his new company.
