I started my dragon year with pneumonia. And now is the “getting from bad to worse” COUGH. From dry cough to the phlegmy cough stage. The phlegm is the worst during the day time. I feel so drowsy and lousy whole day, cannot get things done. Even reducing the dosage also doesn’t help.
I finished my cough syrup and antibiotics from the doc already 
Zann has been saying these ever since she had fever. But there’s nothing to vomit when she didnt eat. I thought it was gastric pain. I was also at my wits end when she refused to take her dinner before we boarded the plane.
She wanted water melon juice only, which was better than having nothing. But she only took a few sips before telling me she wanted to vomit again.
She changed her mind about vomiting when she saw the indoor playground. Too happy to play, that’s why forgot about the vomiting part ?
The vomiting feeling came back again when the plane touched down at KLIA. Lucky there were a few air-sick bags at the seats. The girl held the bag all the way to the hotel. She refused to drink or took something light.
An hour of journey back to the hotel and everyone was tired. It was already past midnight before we settled down. Luckily, Daddy bought a burger king meal. Finally the girl succumbed to her hunger pangs and gave in. That night before she slept, she took a burger and some fries.
Zann asked why so many? She thought all are hers. Both of us were sick since Saturday. We didn’t see doc until this morning. Daddy asked me whether we can go tomorrow. Looking at it now, we have to check in these medicines tomorrow.
This is the first time that both Zann and I have been sick for so long. The girl’s fever came back on last wed with 38.5C while I caught the fever and sore throat bug from her. We went back to see doc the second time. Oh well, really hate this week especially having no energy to look after Zann. I just hope we can recover FAST to enjoy coming weekend.
The cough syrup which the girl hates. I am using jelly as a coax and it works.
Getting ready: A cup of water in her right hand, and cough syrup in her left hand.
Each time she drank it, she would say, “NOT NICE “.
While Zann’s condition has improved, mine’s getting worse. The painful sore throat is making me frustrated. Doctor refused to give me antibiotic. She thought my body’s own resistance would help to improve. This week is really a crappy week.
Both Zann and I were sick today. She had her fever while I had rashes all over my face. Really a 没面见人. It happened so suddenly when we were all fine yesterday making plans for the weekends. Doc was asking if I had use any new facial stuff on my face, the first I could think of was Laneige. Looks like korean stuffs aren’t suitable for me. Such a waste.
And since I am down, Daddy is around to run errand for me.
To keep myself awake (to monitor zann’s temperature), I decided to draw again. A portrait drawing of myself and the girl. It was not perfectly drawn but I just love the way we looked.
This time, there’s phlegmy cough. I went back to the same doctor whom we saw last week. Even the doctor was surprised to see us back again.
I need a second opinion. So I asked the doctor whether it is normal for a childcare teacher to say it’s no big deal not drinking water for a day only. I did not want to push the blame but I asked for my child to be well taken of during the day. After all, Zann spend 8 hours plus in the centre and not drinking water can contribute to lower immune system. How?
But what I got back was a hostile reply and I am being labelled as a fussy parent. It doesn’t make sense.
The doctor told me to change the childcare centre. Given the kind of attitude and negligence, it doesn’t help Zann at all. Although not drinking water may not cause fever and cough directly but it definitely plays a part when the child is sick.
If you were me, do you think you can close one eye of what’s being said from your child’s teacher ?
Supposed to be a long weekend and we had plans to go out. But we didn’t. Because Zann has been sick for 2 days. She has a high fever since Friday night. The temperature moved from mild grade to high grade.
All of us were bored cooping up at home. She asked to go playground many times. I have to find home activities to keep her occupied besides doing housework and cooking. It’s not really manageable especially when Daddy had to work over the weekend.
Hopefully, the girl will get better by tomorrow.
I did stick puzzle with her today and she likes it. This was one of the puzzles she decorated. It’s a snail on the grassland.
Zann’s fever was between 38 degrees to 38.5 degrees the last 2 days. Until this morning, her temperature shot up to 39 degrees. I didn’t bring her to childcare for I know she would not be allowed to go in. Having no choice, I decided to seek Auntie Jenny’s help at the very last minute.
Zann spent the whole day at her centre, with no sign of missing or looking for me. Her fever has subsided when I fetched her home. I am even glad that she ate and drank well under Auntie Jenny’s care. I must say, Auntie Jenny’s a good cook. Both Zann and I had our dinner at her place before going home.
Hopefully, tomorrow she will feel better.
Zann was so engrossed in solving the puzzle that she kept flipping over and redoing it again and again. Maybe it’s time to get her a new set of puzzles.
She has just recovered from stomach flu. Doc advised not to take any dairy products because she has been throwing up whatever she ate and drank. Which also means she has not been eating and drinking well for the past few days. To keep her hydrated, I can only give her fruits and lip balm for her chapped lips.
Today she was back to her usual self. Her appetite has improved. But she has lost some weight though.
