Last week was a horrible week! The children were sick. It started off with me having sorethroat, then the germs spreaded to Auntie Nia who developed a cough and then went to Reuben who had a cough too and along the way, Mr. Flu stuck with Reuben too and then, suddenly, he had fever for a day. The next victim was Phoebe, who suddenly developed fever and the fever lasted for 5 days, flunctuating temperature, highest was 40.2 degree celsius and then it kept hovering around 38.5 - 39.2 degree celcius. It was frustrating. We kept alternating between Paracetamol and Brufen. When her fever went up to 40.2 degree celsius, we brought her to the doctor again and took 2 suppository pills for backup. We inserted one into her anus. Within an hour or so, her temperature went down. The suppository was supposed to last for 12 hours.
From this episode, we learnt that a fever caused by a viral attack will usually take 4-5 days to subside. We were thankful that despite the fact that they children were unwell, they remained active. We are also very thankful that my parents came over to our place to watch over the children for the whole week instead of us sending the children over because my parents said that it's easier for them to come over then to bring 2 sick children to their place. How thoughtful of them! But poor grandma was the last victim to this saga. She fell sick on the third day of babysitting so my dad had to take over the role of a babysitter. Poor grandma!

Now the children are well and they'll be going back to school again. It so great to see them well and running about! :) Glory to God for restoring the health of my children so quickly! :) Will pray for grandma too! :)

same as violet! violet struggles and cries and wails when eating medicine. Dash was like that when young, but he grew used to eat, and now eating medicine is like nothing to him...
Phoebe was like Reuben also, but now she's better. The best is no need to eat medicine lah... but if not, hopefully violet and Reuben will take medicine more easily as they mature.
