The good news is that Hao wasn't the 3rd victim in our stomach flu epidemic...I am LOL. I had started feeling not very good on Friday night when I was particularly tired and bloated after lunch with Sis and Mum. I didn't feel like cooking and brought the kids over to Tampines Mart for their dinner. I didn't even order any food to eat as I didn't feel hungry at all. Min was cranky that night and slept only at 11.30pm. I was drop dead exhausted since I woke up real early that day and hadn't got time to rest throughout the day. By the time I slept at midnight, I was totally flat out.
I started feeling queasy in the middle of the night and could felt spasms in my tummy. Then came nausea and rumbling tummy. I tried hard to brush off that sick feeling and forced myself to sleep and rest more. I woke up and cleared my bowels twice and I know I am falling sick with stomach flu. When I woke up Saturday morning, I tried hard to pull myself from the bed but I can't. Without any choice, I had to wake hubby up to tend to the kids and told him I wasn't feeling well and needed to rest more. By the time I woke up again, it was 10.15am. Feeling guilty, I dragged myself out of bed and helped a little with the kids. It was already too late for Hao to attend his swimming lessons, so he skipped that.
By mid-day, I wasn't feeling any better than I wished. We had planned to pop over to Siow Kiang's place for his daughter's full month celebration but decided that we shouldn't go since 2 of the kids just recovered and I was down with stomach flu. Its contagious and it'll be bad if the virus is passed on to the baby. Since we were not going anywhere and hubby decided to order MacDonald's for the kids for lunch, I took a quite dash to the nearest clinic to see a doctor and get some medication so that I could recover in time by Monday. After I came back and popped the medicine, I tried to take some lunch but it all ended up in the toilet bowl before I laid back to bed and slept till 4pm. It was a good thing that my in laws came and fetch Hao and Ee over to their place as Hubby could not manage the 3 of them at home. Min had to stay with me since he needed to nap and nurse.
We went over to in laws place for dinner but I didn't managed to get anything down despite continuous nagging from in laws to eat something. I know I couldn't get anything in and simply just rested on the bed throughout the whole time, feeling giddy and nausea. After we came home from dinner and I managed to get the kids to bed, I felt a bit better and took some bread and lotsa Ribena drink to hydrate myself again. Thank God after that I felt a lot better and managed to turn in at 11pm.
Woke up this morning feeling much better and as usual Hubby slept in late while I tend to the bed. I had a feeling hubby had enough of helping around for a day LOL. He couldn't do a day without afternoon naps, not to mention half a day with 3 kids and an afternoon tending to Min (except when Min napped with me and he managed to catch a napcap too). So much for support from him. I should be thankful he's not complaining after a day's work. Now I am just worried that Hao will be the 4th victim as school will reopen tomorrow. Crossing my fingers that this epidemic will end with me as the final victim and all will be well once again as we need our life back in order!!
