Finally Ee is cleared of his fever. Now is just a small bout of running nose and cough but other than that, he's on the way to recovery.

Very surprised to hear that many kids have been sick since last week. This round of viral is hitting the kids real hard and they are all taking a longer time to recover from it. I've heard fever lasting for more than 1 week and more parents having to take leave to be home with the kids. Also heard that Jedd and Jenn was down with HFMD last week. Luckily my kids didn't get it from them LOL

Hubby is flying off to Bangkok for his SAP Bootcamp tonight and won't be back till Sat night. I've been contemplating to join him there for a few days stay since his company is staying for his hotel room. Mum is ok with taking care of the kids but I'm still skeptical about it :P Will see how it goes on Wed and then decide whether to go over on Thurs or not. Prob I'll be taking early flight back on Sat to take care of the kids as hubby's flight will only reach home at 9plus at night.

Today is Day 3 of Ee's fever. Last night at 2.30am his fever went up to 39.2 degree celsius and vomited again. Luckily I managed to bring him to the toilet in time and didn't dirty the bed and floor. Sis woked up and helped me to change him and carried him while I changed my clothes and prepared his med. At the same time dad came back and helped to carry him too as I was simply too exhausted and was having a major thumping headache due to lack of sleep and rest. Hubby has already flew off and I was glad I stayed over at sis' place so there's more people to help out with Ee.

4am Hubby reached Karachi and I sms him Ee's condition. Called him and chated for 10 mins on his flight journey, the place and hotel, as well as Ee's fever. Boy I was glad to hear his voice even though both of us was dead tired. I missed him so so much, maybe it's the hormones plus lack of sleep and the headache, I was missing him so so much. I remained awake till 5.30am as I couldn't sleep at all after popping 2 panadol extras to ease my headache and watch some TV. 6am my helper woke up to do her household chores and I was wide awake at 6.30am, couldn't fall asleep to the sounds in the house. By 7.30am everyone was up and preparing to go out and I was ushering Hao to prepare for school. After all was done, I send mum to the market and went home to freshen myself up and grab my laptop to sis house (picked up mum on the way) to start my work for the day. It's gonna be another long tiring day for me as I am crossing my fingers for the hundredth time, praying for Ee to recover quickly to his old cheerful self and that I can rest a little soon...

It was the Mayday holiday yesterday, the last public holiday for the next few months. We thought we'll spend some time with the kids outdoors and also let hubby take a good rest since he's been working really hard these few months and he'll be flying off for business trip today. Atlas, things didn't turn out the way it was imagined when Ee woke up at 4am in the morning with a horrible fever and started coughing and throwing up. I had to woke hubby up to help me with the cleaning as I fed Ee medicine, crossing my fingers that it was a small episode that will go away in the morning. It didn't help that a storm was brewing outside and it had start to rain quite heavily.

Ee fidgeted and got cranky, refusing to sleep till about 5am and kept tossing and turning as he slipped in and out of dreamland. Hubby and I didn't have much sleep too till about 6plus am in the morning when Ee finally fell into a deep sleep. Subconsciously, I heard Hao waking up at 7plus am and thankfully our helper was there to help with Hao and didn't disturb our sleep till about 8am when I woke up. As I was freshening up, Hao came into the room and gave me the "morning papers", something that he had drawn (with the help of the helper pasting papers together). He was so cute when he handed me that.

Ee woke up a while later and his fever was still not subsided as I gave him one insert to make sure the fever don't keep going up. He was pretty alright after a while, played a little and watch some TV while I slipped out to get breakfast for us all. By the time I got back about 15 mins later, hubby was already up (about 10am). We stayed home for the day and hoping Ee will be fine soon. By afternoon, it was obvious his fever was not going away for a while. Even with the med and inserts, his fever hovered around 38.5degrees celsius and all we could do was sponge him, bath him, feed med and carry him, making him as comfortable as possible.

As we were supposed to go over to in laws place for dinner, I had to stay home with Ee and the helper while hubby bring Hao over for dinner at about 5.30pm. About 6.30pm, Ee's fever peaked at 39.8 degrees celsius despite all the med and bathing so I called hubby to leave Hao for dinner there and hurry back to bring Ee to the clinic. We managed to see the doc at only 7.45pm and as usual told us the possibility of either viral fever or false measles and advised us to con't giving med and sponging him. After paying $50 we headed to fetch Hao (and packed our dinner), went home to feed Ee med again (double dosage) and crossing our fingers again that his fever will drop while we eat dinner in haste.

Thankfully his fever slowly subsided and reach to a normal level but not before he broke out in sweat throughout the time, which was a good sign. Now his fever will still come and go but at least he's alert and fever in control with the med. Will have to send hubby to airport soon and hopefully all will be well again soon.
