Down with high fever, stomach flu virus. AGAIN!!!

Cayenne was having fever on 08th August 09, Saturday morning. Initially she was ok. But as I was hugging and kissing her (I always love to do that!), I felt her forehead kinda of feverish. Told Dennis about it, he said "No la" when he felt her forehead. But I wasn't that positive. Afterall, men are always not as attentive as women. (Most men)

Anyway recently Cayenne's appetite dropped tremendously. Her meal times always only soup. Even her favourite "Kway tiao" didn't interest her at all. What was wrong, Darling? Mummy worried.

We were thinking probably due to her teething. Her last 4 molars are coming out. So that irritates her alot. Been very cranky and keeps putting her fingers inside her mouth. Oh yes, even bite people around her! Dennis & I had been her victims so far.

Checked her temperature after we came back from Carrefour, and indeed she was running a fever. Quickly fed her fever medicine. Late afternoon, her temperature risen to about 38.8 degrees! Quickly brought her to see PD. PD told us that teething fever usually won't hit up to 38 degrees. He measured Cayenne's temperature and confirmed that she got stomach flu virus. AGAIN?!!! Seems like Cayenne's stomach is kinda of weak. Think she got this virus at least 5 times till date. ;(

Her fever came & went. Plus teething discomfort made my little girl very uncomfortable and cranky. "Glued" to me since Saturday till Monday. Almost like a koala to me the whole days these few days. Dennis tried to help me in taking care of her, but she didn't want to. Those who came near her will get a "screaming scolding" from her. Sometimes I also got it when she was extremely uncomfortable.

Sunday afternoon brought her to see doctor again. And guess what, Dennis was sick too. Gosh! I felt very stressed suddenly cos I worried about my double Cs. Stomach flu virus can spread easily. I already quarantined Cayenne away from Cayden. As Jann wasn't at home over the weekend, I and Cayenne slept in her room while Dennis & Cayden in our room. Then Sunday Dennis fell sick. No choice, we slept in Jann's room while I asked the confinement lady to sleep in my room to handle Cayden.

Midnight, I have to wake up a few times to check on my Darling Cayenne as well as Cayden. & to do some pumping. These few nights Cayenne woke up crying for me when she didn't see me sleeping beside her.

Talking about her poor appetite, these 2 days I didn't prepare any solid meals for her. She simply no appetite. Even her milk intake dropped again. What's new anyway? Kept feeding her water and sometimes she simply didn't want any water at all. Give her glucose, she didn't want to either. Sigh...

Sunday afternoon she was ok when we were playing in Jann's room. She was overall happy and laughing, then suddenly she just burst into tears. & screamed so hard. I had difficulty pacifying her. She was in great pain (I think) that she pulled my hair, hit me. I cried. Not because of the pain on me. I cried because I felt so 心痛 that my Darling is suffering! I wish the pain on me!
