BB Kay has started his cough & flu since last tues and have worsen with fever since las thur. Days and nights have been a challenge to both popo and me.. During the day time he has became very grumpy and cranky.. at fine times he still ok, active and willing to play on his own. once he started to change his mood he will demand immediate attention. during the nights, due to his cough and congested nose, his sleep is totally disturbed. he got very agitiated and will use wake up crying very badly.
As usual, during the nights, who will usually wake up and attend to the unwell child?? need not to say, Popo & mummy. What about him? to him-> he needs to have lots of rest and sleep so as he is able to work for tomorrow. Next question? he needs sleep what about me? I know i have been throwing alot of emotional comments update on my FB, kinda announcing to the whole world what is going on.. I know if he saw it he won't like it, well i really can't endure and has no wish to talk to him about it. Further to that, mummy has been unwell with sore throats, flu, cough as well as occasional headaches.
23Mar, 230am: Baby Kay woke us up with a temp of 38.7, and after giving him with paracetamol, with help of sponging we manged to cool him off and after a while he doze back to sleep.
24Mar, 1am: Baby Kay again woke us up with temp of 38.5, again mummy sponge him.. it has been consecutively 2 nights where mummy took her own medic, and was forced to wake up middle of night drowsy and pain throats..
25Mar, 12.25am: Baby Kay fever shot up to 39.1, we did the sponging and with medic, by time he manage to sleep back, his temp has dropped to 38.6
26Mar, 8pm: Baby Kay took his nap later then his usual, Lil Kyl has gone out with her daddy late that afternoon. So mummy quickly took her shower, and rested by his side watching TV prog while he is still sleeping. Suddenly, cutie wakes and his temp shot up to 40.2.. Mummy quickly called daddy to ask him to come home immediately and if necessary to send him to hospital. While waiting for the daddy-daughter to come home, sponging is the most effective way. During this interval, Cutie looks very very listless, i seriously wanted to tear out after seeing how miserable he looks. It is just so painful.. close to 830pm. both daddy & lil Kyl reach home, they con't on with sponging but this time round with ice water.. I am just so impressed on Lil Kyl who has been by his side helping out to change the cool hanky on his body. for about 30mins, with cool sponge, the temp drop down to ard 39. Still not enough, we undress him and send him for shower. Yes this help, temp went down again to 38.5.
27Mar: for the whole day we thought the fever has been controlled by the medic.. So we took kiddoes to T3 for dinner.. And after we came home we gave another dose of paracetamol to Cutie ard 930pm and by 10pm we all have knocked out.
** For the past few nights, I seriously have inadequate rest, in average i only sleep for 3-4hours. And seeing him still lying on the bed snoring away while we (popo & me) trying to coax this little boy middle of night. He has really pissed me off, didn't quarrel, no arguement, -> I just can't be bothered to talk to him. He asked I answered.
28Mar,4am: We missed the medic feeding at 12mn, and fever comes back again this time temp at 39.2. took BB Kay out to the kitchen gave him some milk followed by Nurofen. And he did came out to help out this time round. Probably someone has feedback to him about what i have posted. I wasn't delighted at all, to me is just your responsibility to do it. And also he has reached my highest level of tolerance.
