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.
