Fever Mania

Since Thursday, Caden has been running a high fever. Brought him to Dr Ong on Friday morning and was told he had caught the same virus as Alicia & Brandon. And I thought I've already separated him from his siblings since Monday. Dr Ong said, "Incubation period..." Sigh...

Fever mania:
Thursday: Highest temperature = 40.2
He started with mild fever & vomitting. By nite, temperature started to shoot up.

Friday: Highest = 40.3
Mummy brought him to see Dr early in the morning. Started to cough. Refused to eat porridge & drink milk. Late afternoon, started to pass out thick eye discharge.

Saturday: Highest = 40.2
Still refused to eat porridge & drink milk.

Sunday: Highest = 39.9
Still refused to eat porridge & drink milk. Had to syringe milk into his mouth in small quantity.
Called TMC A&E at 8pm as Caden was running a high fever and feeling lethargic, to request to speak to Dr Ong. Was already preparing to go TMC Resort. Held up the suppository in case they give him a jab in the hospital. Genna scolding from Dr Ong, "What are you waiting for? Go feed him the neurofen or insert the suppository NOW! Come see me tomorrow for a blood test."

Monday: Highest = 39.9
Fever at 8am. Gave him his neurofen & paracetemol. Brought him to see Dr Ong. The clinic was so crowded!!! Nurse allowed me to skip queue and went in to see him. Did a blood test & x-ray which showed that he has virus & bronchilitis. I thought he'd be warded at the resort again. Dr Ong said unless I want to drip him, else can go home & neb. He had no fever thru-out the time in the clinic and seems alrite. The moment we went home, his fever started... Faintz...

Tuesday: So far, so good. 
Forced him to drink milk and he did - 60ml. Improvement. He's been living on plain water for the past few days. Please... get well soon.
