On Wed 140pm, I received a call from her school teacher - Reia's running fever and I'd to go pick her up. School Policy is that they do not keep babies who are having fever. My poor Reia is being chased out of her school. I took a cab down to her school and back home, immediately gave her some paracetemol once we reached home. Her fever shoot up sky-high ard 39.7 up and down thruout the night. I stayed up most of the hours to sponge and check on her. The next morning, we rushed her to see PD. PD diagnosed that she'd moderate bronchitis, and there were 2 choices - One was to admit her into hospital, the other was to home-treat with the help of neubilizer. PD suggested if we could manage her, the best was to treat her from home - Needs to be put on the nebulizer for every 4 hourly plus 3 oral medicines. However, the nebulizer machines were all rented out that Reia couldnt be treated with it till today. She had to resought to Oral medicine to curb her nasty phelgm in the meantime. She lost her appetitie that she hardly want to drink her milk. Daily intake estimated only mere 200ml or so.
Early today, Hub went to the clinic to pick up the machine. The first attempt was terrible, hub was holding her while i held the nebulizer. She just kept screaming and trying her ways to wriggle off hub's grab. 2nd attempt I was all alone treating her, I put her in her high-chair, On the TV, put all her toys in front of her to distract her attention. REsult was good, she started to struggle in the last 5 mins or so. The last attempt of the day was her best so far, we put her on her high-chair, hub the clown, sing songs, play balls, read stories.... she wasnt even bothered by the nebulizer... I was happy, at least she managed to inhale the medicine effectively.
She needs to be put on the nebulizer for the next 2 days or so, Monday will bring her back to PD for review and it better be good news, cos mama me cant affort to take anymore leave and its really tiring to handle a cranky grouchy sickly baby...... What happened to my sweet-little-smiley-happy-easy-gg-angel????
Pray for my lit' one. For no more serious illness to be bestowed on her. No more!! For those that got help or able to take care of their own babes, be thankful.
xoxo
tired mama
