3 Down, how?

All 3 kids are sick...

Josiah had high Fever On and Off and bad cough since Thurs night...

Aparently he had a Viral attack, same as jie jie... After the 3 weeks ordeal with Jie Jie, now Josiah has got it... His fever always on and off, morning may be fine but night time, the monstrous fever would be back... :(

He can't sleep well cause phlegm is stuck at both the nose and throat so when he sleeps, he will get choked while breathing... Am very worried... Sunday night after a visit from my gran's place, his fever is back... I stayed up to look after him till the next med feed at 3:30am worried that he may over heat... at 1 plus, fever shot up again... Its 2 hrs plus before the next medication.. how?

Monitored him, never had a wink of sleep no matter how tired I was and his fever didn't seem to go away except, it went higher. So woke hubby up at 2plus and argued if we should bring him to the doc or not... He thinks I'm making a big fuss that its only high fever, his body's way of fighting the virus... I know that but which mother will not be worried... I quarreled with him cause even though I woke him up and tell him that Josiah's fever is 39.3°C, he went back to sleep after a while.. which made me more pissed. I couldn't understand how come he can still sleep when I'm like already on my toes...

Josiah's fever shot up higher and I couldn't care less and decided that I should send him to KKH even if the doc were to say that he's okie.. At least get some medication meanwhile before Doc Tan comes back right?

Eventually, he went with me... He still cares afterall.

We took a cab with Josiah and went to KKH, waiting time was okie.. Doc called for us... She told and assured me that no matter how high is the fever, it WILL NOT cause brain damage... Hello??? Can u imagine that ur own child burning till 39.6°C or 40°C and a mother can think that it will not cause any harm to her child.. her precious child..

Anyway, doc on duty suggested that the nurses will attempt to suck out the mucus from his nose with the machine... I thought it will make him better but I was wrong... Nurses ask us to wait till 4am since Josiah just drank a little milk worried that he will puke if they were to suck the mucus now. So we waited outside. Josiah seemed better and started babbling to us and to others. Another mummy even commented that he was sick yet he still wants to play... lol

At 4am, Josiah was sleeping when I passed him to the nurses and he woke up once "mummy" didn't smell right... they placed him on the bed and drew the curtains. The next thing I heard was the motor being turned on and Josiah crying... My heart ache started... Its was a nightmare hearing ur baby cry, not able to see what they are doing to him and he's screaming. Hubby ask me to go out of the room knowing that I cannot take it but I insisted to be there.. I want to be there to carry him once the nightmare is over... I want to be the first to hold him and assure him that I'm still around and I didn't want him to go through the pain but I have no choice... Tears just formed in my eyes.

I heard the motor turned off and the nurses drew the curtains. I went over to carry him immediately and assure him that mummy loves him and I'm sorry... Nurses then told us that they couldn't get much out from his nose and may have to do it again later... They told us to wait outside for a while and give him the glucose water cause he may vomit.

Josiah after that was not himself cause he didn't want the glucose water... A while later, doc called us into the room and advise the medication to give... I was quite happy that she didn't ask for another session of the horrible mucus sucking machine... So we just went to the pharmacy to collect the medicine. Shortly, Josiah sneezed and we got a shock cause we saw strands of blood. Immediately I brought him back to the Doc's room and Doc explained that it's temporarily. Most probably, due to the sensitivity of the nose membranes, membranes may have tear but doc assures its temporarily. If bleeding persist, it should be some other problems...

Brought him home and he was still fussing... He didn't want milk cause I think its painful... Really breaks my heart to see him like that.

Now he's still having fever... just hope that the ordeal will be over soon...

Tomorrow will be bringing all 3 out to see Doc Tan since she is back.. Kiasu mummy has already made appointment for tomorrow. Just hope that its not something serious...
