Succumb to the BUG...

Daddy has been coughing for awhile since last week. Not sure if this was the cause, little Keziah came down with fever on Sunday afternoon after church. It really caught us by surprise coz she was still as bubbly as usual. It was the first Sunday we left her to the nursery teachers at church while Daddy and Mummy went for Sunday School. We noticed for the first time she was bitten by mosquitoes after service. There were 3 bites on her right hand and 1 was huge! Daddy and Mummy had to sponge her to try to bring her temperature down. The night was terrible with the frequent waking to soothe her.

Thank God her temperature came down by morning but Daddy and Mummy still brought her to the doctor to have a check since she also had some rash and had been pertually scratching her ear till it's all red and sore. Guess what! For the first time we knew that even babies can have sore throat. Keziah had also been having a dry mucus on her nose and the ocassional coughing. Didn't really think much of it till our visit to the doctor. Maybe really Keziah is down with flu!!! She was given 5 different kind of medication - flu, cough, paracetamol, phelgm and neurofen for fever higher than 38.5 degrees.The doctor also mentioned that she had loads of ear wax. But how on earth would one clear ear wax from babies' ear? We were given a ear drop for that. It was a challenging time trying to feed Keziah the medication. One warning for all, never feed your babies medication lying down. They could choke! That was what happened and it certainly shook mummy.

Guess with all these and the little rest, Mummy also succumbed to the flu bug. Throat was terribly sore and head was simply spinning. Rest time NOW coz gotta work tomorrow!
