Term Break

Not a very great start to the term break. My young man is having a temperature.

Started this morning with a mild temperature of under 38 degrees. Good thing he is still active, bad thing is over active and refused to rest / nap. Made the decision to monitor with no medication. Gave an extra bath in the afternoon to cool the body down, hopefully.

Boiled some "ling yang" for him. Took such a long long time and yet did not even finish the half a cup. I had to force him to drink up by counting to 10. Before I could reach 10, before he even drank 1/3 of that half cup, puke. Once it started, merlion-ed big time. Bath time again, send off to bed. No medication at this point yet.

At about 2ish earlier, temperature shot up to 39.8 degrees! Freaking scary high. Fed paracetamol, sponge him and half an hour later, temperature dipped to 38.5 degrees. Forced the fever patch on him and threaten against removal at his whim and fancy. Hope there will not be another spike. Hello sleepless night, welcome panda eyes....

On a side note, perhaps this will be good opportunity to catch up on posts. However I am pretty much brain fried....
