A wake up call!
My elder son has been having fever since Monday, that's already about 5 days ago!. It started with a blocked nose which he complaint was very uncomfortable. So I brought him to see the doc. He was given some medications. However my son still wanted to attend school as he had a storytelling performance. So I let him... that night after school he got fever. Gave him his medication (no hassle at all, unlike the younger brother...always turn into a wrestling match). and took a day off school the next day. Stayed with him and monitored him. Everything was fine in the day but at night, his temp rose again to 38.9! So the next day I took a day off work to monitor him again. He said he felt better and wanted to go to school. I let him since there was no sign of a high temp again. On thurs, I wnt to work. but around noon, his teacher called me as my son had a fever of 39.2! That made me panic. I got him home and luckily my husband was able to get off work. So I stayed at office (but my head and heart was at home with him). That night, his fever escalated again..(it always happens at nite!) I sponged him and he was so co operative and tried to laugh and make jokes. But he was shivering and chattering all the way....When he finally fell asleep, I couldn't sleep and just kept looking at him. He begged me not to go to work yet in the morning since he is afraid the fever would come again and he needs me. Oh gosh that just breaks my heart......
