An Unpleasant infection

Well I thought I could blog about happiness raising my little boy but this is first visit to KK A&E days ago..

Last Fri, Carmel became feverish and we skipped cell group so that he can rest early and recover from fever. Somehow we have never expected that he got some virus God knows from where (airborned, contacts gosh!) it was hell to begin with.. worries upon worries to keep his high fever down at one time i went up to 38.6 degree.. we decided to go to KK Children Clinic as our family doc was closed. Doc diagnosed as some virus and gave medicines to subside the fever.

3 days later, to my horror i discovered ulcers and blisters in his mouth! I suspected it cos he told me "pain pain" when I gave him food and he refused to eat anything... poor boy! We went back to KK for more consultation. Doc required him to do a blood test and my heart sank to the ocean! How I wish I am the one sufferring! Sigh but thankfully, it was a quick procedure and wasnt that scary as I would imagine a needle poking through his fragile, tiny arm. It was a prick on the index finger and the nurse tried to squeeze out as much blood sufficient to do the test.

Phew! What a relief that the results denied any serious life threatening diseases such as HFMD or Dengue..

Well this is part & parcel of being a mother, in sickness & in health.
