BB @ KKH A&E again

After the trial holiday @ Conrad over the weekend, Yuan2 was down with cough and runny nose on Monday. We brought her to see PD and he gave the usual cough n runny nose medicine. However, she had slight fever of 37.5 degC on Tuesday morning -- I decided to stay home to look after her. The fever kept going up & down ard 38 degC throughout the day -- each time she took paracetamol, her fever would subside but went up after the medicine effect wear off. By evening, her head n body were very warm. After her dose of paracetamol @ 8pm, she went to bed and her temperature were back to normal. However, her temperature suddenly shot up to 39.8 degC ard midnite. We decided to send her to KKH A&E.

The lobby was filled with many kids down with fever n cough -- guess the flu season is back. It was our turn soon and the doc diagnosed her to have bronchiolitis -- Yuan2 was put on nebulizer to open up the airway and took chest x-ray to confirm her lungs r cleared. We were brought to the same area where she had tubes inserted thru her nose to suck out the muscus -- for a moment, i dragged having to put her thru that again! breathed a sign of relief when the nurse said it is nebulizer. But she resisted when the mask was put on her nose -- I had to grab her hands while TK held the mask over her... So heart wrenching to hear her wailed! So glad that 10 minutes were over. She was given another dose of paracetamol to bring down her fever. After 30 minutes wait, doc reviewed her condition and she was good to go home. She zzz in the car on the way home and became fully awake when we reached home *faint* We were so glad that her fever subsided and I stayed with her through the rest of the nite (or early morning)...

What a way to spend the early hours of my birthday! What I wish for is a healthy and active Yuan2 :) Oh, darlg TK cooked a yummy lunch to celebrate my bday -- ginseng chicken with stuffed glutinuos rice plus 12 red roses (hmmm, i asked him y not 13?!) :)

P.S. I felt guilty for Yuan2's condition -- if we had not bring her to stay @ Conrad, she would not catch a cold and worsened till bronchiolitis. Haiz, my parents advised me not to bring Yuan2 to Japan...
