Sick... very sick


Alicia fell sick twice in the month of May & June. First, she started with fever, followed by flu. We brought her to the doctor as self-medication didn't help. The nurse commened that she's not seen me for a long time in months. Choy! choy! choy!! She recovered quick enough. This was followed by Caden, who had cough & runny nose & ear infection. Again, Mummy brought him to Dr Ong's clinic. The nurse commented again.. when it starts, there's always a repeat. Sigh... My boy recovered very fast too.


But, the nightmare came a week later. Alicia started running very high fever. Initially, I put it off as teething (cos babies get fever when they are teething!!). But, when it came with diarrhoea for more than 10x a day, something mus be wrong somewhere. It was heartache seeing her running to the toilet so many times. She also lost her appetite - everything tasted awful to her. Mummy brought her to Dr Ong and she was diagnosed with intestinal infection. Continued medication but it didn't seem to cure her. Went to Dr Ong a 2nd time and did a stool test. He prescribed anti-biotics for her. Thank god the bacteria test was negative and she recovered after a few days. She lost 1.2kg!!!


This girl is helping herself to the food these days... Daddy said she'll gain back that kg in no time. : )

Brandon had to attend the gym & swim class alone.
