Measles, Mumps or Rubella?
Health February 5th, 2010I am not sure if its Measles, Mumps or Rubella. Remember my niece, Z.Y. was sick on Sunday? Two days later, red itchy rashes came out on her tummy and her back. My Chinese + Cantonese-speaking MIL could not tell me what it was in English, obviously. I ended up guessing what it was. But after Googling for a while, I realised it was neither of the 3.
MIL just called again today and told us that little W.D. is infected too. So Sunday’s usual gathering is cancelled. The last thing she wants is to get all her grandchildren down with this ______, just one week before Chinese New Year.
2 days ago, Keatkeat’s running nose was at its full run, causing discomfort to his throat as well. It was so disturbing, he vomited. Luckily its not the return visit of his Bronchitis. *phew*.
The good thing was, after that vomit, he was so much better, nose, throat and all. The bad thing was, he vomitted while he was half asleep on a new bedsheet which was changed 15mins ago! *eyes rolled*
In the mist of waking him up, his hands swept onto his vomit, and leaving a trace on the floor as he dreamily walked to the toilet. Instead of smelling the nice fragrant from a freshly washed bedsheet that night, my room smelled like vomit!
Is this the famous Pre Chinese New Year sickness trend? Allan is sick and so am I now, for 2 days already. *shake head* The lucky one, as usual, is Binbin-totally happy with his life of good health. *Smile*
