THE Virus

Last week on this day, AN and I started coughing badly all of a sudden. And fever came that very night.

Her fever peaked on Thursday, at 40°c but her cough got better. Dr Lim predicted her fever to swing up and down but each time it swings up, it shouldn't be as high as the last peak. By Sunday, she shouldn't be nursing high fever, else she would have to be taken in for a blood test, for H1N1.

She was as Dr LIM predicted.

She had still been on fever medications, not punctually but only when necessary. Her last dose was at 4.30pm last evening and her fever hasn't been back since. We're hoping to have her go through 24 without the need to medicate before she goes to school. We can't send her back to pass the virus around. This one is not an easy one on the kids.

As for ER, he felt worst on Friday night, having NO sleep at all and crying through the night instead. He saw Dr Allyson on Sat and with the meds, suffered less pain. His cough made him choke less by then.

For today, I want to see hw he's recovering without the medicines too. He should have taken all his meds at midnight but I did not feed him. His fever is at 37.6°c now and that's good news. Cough and phlegm, and runny nose is still relatively bad but he's improving. He's having yellow mucus.

AN, on the other hand, is not that bothered by her nose.

Am thankful we're almost approaching the end of It all.
