All About Your Child

M.I.A, my excuse reason? I was bedridden. Yes, the nurse has collapsed.

On Tuesday 4.30am, I was still sponging Keatkeat to get his fever down. Not too much of the hives thing now, but his fever seem to have a habit of visiting him at night.

At 7am I was supposed to wake him up for school. Instead, I couldn’t move myself. Tweety birds were chipping and flying around my head. My whole body was aching right to my toes.

With all my might, tapped onto Allan’s arm and plead, “I’m really sick, feeling giddy, bring Keatkeat to school.”

After depositing Keatkeat, the still-sick-Allan came back to give me a full hour of sponging, Binbin was stroking my hair…my chest…my face, “Mommy….you better now….like that you feel better now?…..” only after an hour did my temperature dropped down to 37.8 Degrees Celsius. For that hour, I wished I was sick forever…..(It must be the fever that’s making me think weird thoughts.)

Ever since it started, I have been having yo-yo fever. I don’t remember feeling so terrible when I had fever, or maybe I’ve forgotten, it’s been a hundred year since I last had fever.

What’s killing me isn’t the heat, its the pain from my back and my head. I couldn’t lie down, sit up, walk in baby steps, stand with full support, there simply isn’t a comfortable position.

Now that I am feeling more like a human, put up a quick post to say I am still alive and kicking, just that it isn’t with the-striker-kick-to-the-goal-post kind of strength.

Thank you everyone, hives are far away from my boys now, since medication won’t help their condition, it must have been the invisible power from all your well-wishes that cured them. Thank You…..

Didn’t bring Keatkeat to school today, not because of the hives, but of the fever. I was still sponging him til 2am. That wasn’t the time I rest my eyes, ‘cos I couldn’t, my poor Binbin was scratching all over!

Binbin slept at about 12 midnight, but was awake almost after every 15-20mins of cat nap. It was too itchy for him. I felt so helpless. Other than consoling him and kept applying the Prickly Heat Powder on the affected areas, which was almost his entire body (except the face), there is very little I could do.

Binbin’s tired little body was winning over the itch; and finally won and brought Binbin to dreamland at 3.15am!

I realised Binbin’s hives and Keatkeat’s hives are very different. For the past 3 nights, Keatkeat’s attack usually starts at night and when he is asleep, those bumps were gone. Is there such a thing as night-hives? Hives is a form of allergic reaction right? But we didn’t do anything special at night, I am still trying to find out what triggers his attack.

Whereas my poor Binbin has it throughout the day and night. Last night I hugged the curled up little body after he concussed from the many cat naps. Put my left cheek against his right cheek. I was feeling the uncomfort my poor little guy was going through, my heart aches.

Scratch…scratch…. Oh no! He was scratching his face now. It must be my breath. No wind right? I forgot. I must be breathing too close to his face, small bumps started to appear around his nose……oh dear….sorry Binbin, I didn’t know my breath is considered windy too….

No change from yesterday’s list of sick people in the house. But if this unbalance ratio don’t change fast, very soon there will be an addition to that list; or maybe by the time the sick ones have recovered, the nurse have collapsed. *eyes rolled*
