It was an unforgettable day. Today at about 4.10am, mummy woke up to measure your temperature and found your body temperature had reached terrifying temperature of 41C! Mummy quickly woke baba up and told him that your body temperature was way of too high and write needed to bring your body temperature down asap or we may need to rush to hospital. Baba did not react much but got angry again and accused mummy caused you to fall sick as usual.
Mummy did not want to bother too much as there is no point to argue at this critical period. Mummy quickly filled the pail with warm water and stripped you off to soak in the water. You kept screaming and crying but mummy had to do so as this is the fastest way to bring your temperature down. Mummy also fed you the Ibuprofen then continue to sponge bathe you. Mummy wondered if all these did not help to bring your temperature down then we had to rush to hospital but luckily your body temperature dropped gradually and dropped below 39C. We were so tired by this time and mummy also told baba to bring the fever relief pad from the fridge and pasted on your forehead. You refused and struggled to first but soon you stopped struggling and had a bottle of milk then fell asleep.
We woke up in the morning at about 7.30am. You were having fever of 38.4C, mummy fed you Paracetamol and tried to bring your body temperature down. Both of us looked so tired. Mummy was very tired too as mummy still had to work from home and take care of you at the same time but so long as you are fine mummy will sustain and endure it...
Apparently after the last dosage of Paracetamol and the antibiotic mummy fed you at about 9am, you looked much better and your body temperature also dropped. You started to play and smile again. It is so good to see you be so playful again!
Then, you had your morning breakfast with some cakes.
You looked okay even after bath but your body temperature started to pick up again at about 1.30pm. Mummy gave you another dose of Paracetamol again. Though your body temperature reached 38.9C by that time but mummy did not give you the Ibuprofen as it could be very strong and harmful.
Mummy measured and monitored your body temperature very closely to ensure it won't shoot too high so that mummy can do whatever mummy can bring your body temperature down in case it happens.
Ya, it was tiring...but mummy will do the best to ensure you are okay! You must be okay!
After an afternoon nap, your body temperature dropped but soon picked up again at about 7.30pm. This time round it was 38.7C. Mummy quickly let you have a bath and let you soak yourself in the warm water then gave you a dose of Ibuprofen.
You started to be very energetic and playful like usual without fever about half an hour after the medication. Mummy accompanied to play in the room. At this time, mummy was so exhausted and felt the back was so painful. Mummy lied on the playmat and you played with stuffs in this room happily.
You sweated a lot after that and this shows a very good sign of kicking fever away.
Mummy tried to let you wear light as much as possible instead of wearing long sleeved pajamas. Mummy put you to sleep and told baba helped to guide you so that mummy could take a bath then worked on some company stuffs.
Your body temperature remained normal. Finally, mummy felt more releaved by now. 加油!
