Chaos

It happens when the kids are sick: chaos.

Poor AN coughed so badly the phlegm got coughed out but she held it in her mouth and waited for us to bring her out from the dark bedroom to the toilet to spit the mouthful of phlegm out. She coughed and threw up twice more after that and then it was time for pillowcase changing again.

ER kept crying while these were going on. And then he started coughing as well. The next thing we know, he was choking because his nose was badly stuffed up. He was coughing, nose was blocked, and he was very very upset at not being able to breathe.

sigh.....

Everything happened so suddenly: ER's sudden fever, AN's sudden cough which started this afternoon without warning and it was bad right from beginning, ER's sudden phlegm and blocked airway, AN's sudden fever.

We're sleeping without aircon now. The kids couldn't sleep the first time I used the fan with them when they had blocked nose. After a few 'trainings' they have gotten a little more used to it. It could be the dry cool air that made AN cough and blocked ER's nose. It could be anything. I'm just hoping to find a solution, anything to help them rest better.

I have totally no idea what else I can do to prevent them from falling sick.  Sheets were only changed last week, everywhere else given a dettol wipedown, Delphine used to supposedly clean the air. But they still fall sick sooooo often.

Poor babies.
