Father and Daughter Down

That day we went to see the Gynae, Mr Liow was already feeling feverish. AN had already been having blocked nose for the past week and her mucus started turning green few days back.

Mr Liow saw a doctor, hoping to only get a good rest on Tues but he got 4 days MC. He felt better on Tuesday evening and thought he would return to work the next day but his nose started to block and just last evening, sore throat 'arrived'....he is unable to speak now but has to go back for a conference call this evening. I wonder how he's going to talk to them... And he was feeling exceptionally unwell before bedtime last night.

We had just been saying, before he fell sick, that he had been well for the past 20 over months we had been here. Back in Singapore, he was constantly bothered by blocked and runny nose.

This time, the virus hit him slow but hard. To think we were laughing over how 'generous' the doctor was with giving MC. He probably could foresee Mr Liow getting worse.

AN on the other hand, though suffering from stuffy nose, had been active and eating well. I've more or less gotten used to her fussy eating. As long as she eats something, it does not have to be much and I will be happy.

She felt a little warm last night and I thought she was having a fever. She measured 37.1•C (she's usually a low 36•C) and I started worrying. Thank God it's morning now and she's well again. I can't say enough how beneficial breastmilk is for babies. AN and some other BF babies I know of had been relatively healthy when kids around are falling sick. Coz I seriously do not enjoy taking care of a sick toddler who HATES to medicate to get well.

There is to be a 'Family Day' event at the bowling centre tomorrow. Looking at it, we probably have to stay home again.

We missed last Sunday's CNY visitation coz of AN and I, today's Rodeo Parade and if Mr Liow still feels terrible, maybe even the bowling session tomorrow.

Sigh... What a week!
