Eventful week

It started off when Zethan had a sudden onset of high fever ~ 38.8 on mon afternoon. after a dose of paracetamol, it went down.

the same night, mummy had a fever, went to GP, given 2 days medical leaves.

tue noon, Zethan's fever surfaced again with high of 39 and low of 38. best thing is Kidslink is closed in the noon with only night session. looking at the high temperature, mummy decide to bring Zethan to Dorothy's. so it's viral infection, what's new. to dd on, sore throat, blocked nose, cough! temperature monitoring every hr or so and his temperature is worst off than stock exchange. fortunately Zethan is still very active otherwise will be a major concern.

shoot up to 39.4 always when night approach when all appear well in the daytime of average 38. This went on for a good 3 nights. if not for kidslink being closed on thur noon & night, it would be another trip to the PD.

finally the fever cleared on fri morning but the cough looks firm to stay. a few episodes of pukes with phlegm which is a good thing rather than it remain in the throat.

today is equally bad. Zethan refused all his meals regardless of solids or milk feeds. well, not total rejection but taking real little, much worst than when he's having fever. morning milk >140ml, puke twice! lunch - porridge, consumed less than 1/2 resulting in more pukes, mess + dirty Zethan who had just bathed! tea - milk feed, >90ml!

oh man!
