Invaded by Bugs

This whole week is a stressful one for me and hubby. MIL went home on Saturday afternoon and Emily was down with high fever since Saturday afternoon. Her fever went up to 103F on Sunday night, fortunately it did come down after we inserted the paracetamol suppository which caused her to sweat alot. Alot of worries within us as now is the H1N1 outbreak. She showed a few of its symptoms, coughing, flu and fever. Brought her to see the specialist and he suspected it was due to viral/bacteria. So antibiotic was prescribed to her to be taken for 3 days. After the 3rd day the fever came back in the evening, we brought her back to the specialist. This time he suspected ear infection and prescribed another course of the same antibiotics. But I resisted giving to her. Today her temperature is back to normal, but need to monitor more closely in the evening coz it usual rises during this time. This is the worst infection she has gotten since born.

We totally isolated Jared from her, he is spending all his time in our bedroom when at home whereas Emily is sleeping on her own in a different room. Both hubby and I are also wearing face masks when handling her as it could be very contagious.

As she couldn't go to her day care, we had to take leave from work to be with her at home. Wanna thank hubby for taking so many days of leave to be at home with her when I wasn't able to.
