I survived 3 weeks without hubby!

On the exact day that JQ left, Kai Kai came down with fever. He must have gotten the virus from his cousin Enya when we visited on Sun. Anyway, it was a real test of faith. Chong Beng knew about Kai's fever and knowing JQ is not in town, called me to find out how I am. Lucky I have a support group of non-believers of doctors and medicine. Anyway, I was getting advice on how to bring the fever down, and he was telling me his children went as high as 40 degrees before.

For 2 weeks, his fever was like a roller coaster ride going up and down. I gave him a lot of IF and MMA, sponge bathed him a lot, and I was still holding on to my faith and beliefs. I visited the Chinese TCM as well. However, when it went up to 41 degrees, I decided to see a PD just in case. Turns out paracetamol still did not work as his fever still came and went. in the end, he still recovered on his own. My strong boy!! But he lost a lot of weight during this period. I lost weight too. The few days when he was really sick, he was really groaning a lot, hear already heart damn pain. Can tell he is really uncomfortable. After the first week, he was regaining his cheerful self. Even though he is having fever, he was still playing very hard as well, and laughing a lot too...

I will take extra care in future... it's not funny for BB to be falling sick... will take all precautions in future. And for these 3 weeks, I'm really grateful that my Dad and Mum was around to lend a helping hand. Don't know if I could have coped if not for them!! And I am really glad when hubby is back home!
