18months now

1.5years old Chloe.


Chloe entered 18months now but on her way to 18months she had to go thru a period of pain.
On 23/July, she developed swollen tonsils. We checked her out at her usual paed the same night after she had runny nose and mild fever for two days.
Upon returning home that night (after picking up mom from Empire and a dinner), she was still active and playing with AhMa and within 30mins after my bath, I came out from my room to find her lying on the floor.... so restless. We all thought she was just too sleepy as she was also non stop yawning. Daddy and AhMa doesn't look so much concerned but I was worried.
We decided to feed her milk with her medicine added into it. Well, she took and then guess what... 10mins later she vomitted all out. I have never seen her vomitted!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the very first time! (other than the baby time vomit). She was on daddy's arm then. At that time, all i was thinking is HOSPITAL, nothing else. I need medical experts advice on what to do.
However Daddy wasn't thinking so and AhMa said nothing to worry about, as in it's just vomit and fever. Just take medicine.
Anyway 30mins later, Daddy gave in to me and we went to Sunway Medical Emergency ward.
Well, my girl is in pain and I don't want to wait seeing her in such condition. I'm her mother afterall - i can feel her pain!
At the hospital, Chloe was 39.2degC !!! Nurse inserted a anal medicine into her and we were deciding to admit her, or not. I was thinking Yes, since she wasn't eating well, vomitted and high fever. Daddy on the other hand, was saying No. But at the end, it was a no, since her fever came down to 37.4C after about 30mins. The A&E ward costed me only RM75 for the visit.

Back home at almost 2.30am. Everyone was tired and so we slept.
We continued feeding her paracetomol syrups 4-6hourly and boy.... she is pointing her hands and feets and tummy, signing that she wants to go Gymboree that afternoon. Well, yes, her usual class is on Saturday. Although her fever was low, we decided not to go and let her nap that afternoon. She took a 2.5hour nap and when she woke up at almost 5pm, we brought her down to the playground and created a fun time for her. Here are some picx. WEE!!!!!!!!

SO, looks like Daddy and Daughter time ????

We thought she is all better but high fever returned on that Saturday midnight. I jumped up at her every noise she made the whole night thru and the 3rd time, I discovered the fever. My thermometer showed 38.4C. Quickly feed her paracetomol syrup and sponge her with towels. It went down slowly... The next morning, after a small feed, Chloe vomitted on her bed. Poor girl. But I think that is due to empty stomach and wind causes the puke.
(couldn't really recall the 2nd vomit was on Sat morning or Sun morning. :-))

Her fever did not return since Sunday evening! I am very thankful!
So Doc Lam was right. He said on Friday evening that Chloe's fever should go away after 48hours.
