At first it was me who fell ill with stomach flu last Mon - Bad diarrhea, fever and chills. Felt terrible for 2 days. Then I was hit with migraine again on Fri - Vomitting and bad head pain at one side of the head.
On the same weekend, Giselle down with bad flu which leads to viral fever started on Sunday morning. This went on till Mon night. She was so uncomfortable with bad runny nose, watery eyes and chills due to fever. She looked really sick. In fact, she hasn't been so sick for quite a long time.
Adrian and me had a hard time trying to keep Jaren and Giselle apart. Both of us really prayed no one, especially Jaren will get the virus from Giselle. Who knows, Adrian got some of the virus from Giselle on Sun night.
Just then as Giselle was on the road to recovery on Tue and I was thanking god for keeping the virus away from Jaren, fever struck Jaren on Tue afternoon during his afternoon nap. He was really uncomfortable and kept whining and whining. In fact, first time I saw him like this - irritated and whiny, because he has always been such a happy and contented baby. His fever hit as high as 38.9degreeC.
As he such a young baby, I brought him to see Dr Tan on wed morning just to make sure he has been checked. After about 2 doses of paracetamol, his body managed to win the virus battle and fever went away.
After my first experience with such continuous downtime for everyone in the family, nothing is more important than having all the people in my family to be healthy!
