Stronger!

AN started sniffing last Thursday, much to my worst horror! Soon after, her nose started leaking. I'm sure we all remember, ER had barely recovered from his pneumonia.

She didn't appear too unwell except for the runny nose....till Sunday night. I couldn't sleep because I somehow expected AN to suddenly have a fever. The hunch was so strong I kept feeling her temperature (was lazy to reach for thermometer) throughout and she got increasingly warm.

Sigh....

True enough, the thermometer showed 37.5°c when she woke up. But thank God it didn't continue rising. She was about 37.3°c on average. Not very high. Wert were really really thankful.

The low fever went away by evening without medicating and hasn't returned. Her runny nose left almost the same time the fever left as well.

This is the second time AN 'won' the battle with a virus, bacteria or whatever it might have been. The first time was before ER caught it from her (I suppose) when she showed signs of falling sick but got well very soon after.

Is she stronger now after all these episodes of falling sick since she started school? She hasn't been as sick as she was months back, so bad that she had to stay away from school then.

Now that ER is nursing lesser than he used to, he's less protected and more likely to fall sick. I pray that like AN, each of these incidences will only make his body stronger against the same bad viruses and experienced enough to fight off new ones.
