Lil' one caught the virus today.
Daddy chin and I came back from breakfast at about 10.30 all ready to feed the baby...
N came up to us saying that the baby was a little hot.
True enough she had a temperature of about 37.9
Oh no! Immediately we gave her some paracetamol and washed it down with milke.
I can tell she didn't like the medicine cos she spat some of it out and resisted swallowing the stuff in her mouth.
Mummy xiu and daddy chin panicked a little... cos the pedi clinic was not open on Sundays!
So mummy xiu had to call the doctor at his home. [good thing stella's pedi is an old family friend]
He gave instructions as to what to expect and when there was a need to come in to see him.
Daddy chin and mummy xiu kept taking the little one's temperature. After about an hour, the medicine seemed to take effect and her temperature started to drop. Actually all this while lil' one was happily playing oblivious to the commotion around her. She did get a little annoyed at the constant poking into her ear.
The temperature never went back up again... but we did give her a second dose 4 hours later just in case.
To be honest, mummy xiu was feeling really lousy for passing on the virus to the lil' one. Sigh. She should have camped at springleaf longer.
... lil' one is asleep now. Just got to keep monitoring her.
