Last Thursday Anthea was running a slight fever, 37.6 degrees, so I gave her paracetamol. As she was active as usual, we did not bring her to the doctor. Her temperature was back to normal on Friday.
Through out Saturday she was still alright. However, after dinner, she vomited a little and started to look a bit down. She slept over at my mother in law place that night.
On Sunday morning, we received a call from my MIL to inform us that she vomited again and was running a fever. So immediately, Adrian went to the clinic where my MIL brought her. Consulted the doctor and she was given Paracetemol and another medication for vomit. Doctor mentioned that it is viral attack. After reading a few mommies who children are sick with viral, I knew she got it too… : (
She rested the whole day and we ate at home. At night, her temperature started to become erratic ranging from 37.8 to 39.8 degrees. At 1 am, I gave her Ibuprofen, fever subsided a little and I kept sponging her.
I kept awake by her side and monitor her temperature every ½ hour. In between, I nap a little as I was also feeling very tired. Honestly when your children run HIGH fever, you can never sleep with a peace of mind.
Adrian slept with Anders as we try to prevent the viral from spreading to Anders.
Today Adrian took a day off to look after Anthea as she is given 2 days of Medical leaves.
Pray hard that Anthea will recover soon and well.

Poor Anthea and poor mummy too! Yeah, can now empathise with the sleepless nights.
Indeed, saw a lot of kids walking around this week with the fever patch on their forehead.
Hope she recovers soon!
