A had fever

For some reason, Aaron is down with fever. Could he have gotten the colds during his swim? He seldom had fever or was sick.

He woke us up at 5 a.m. He felt so hot. I measured his temperature, it was 38.2 deg C. I quickly woke up CP, together we fed him Panadol medicine and applied the fever patch over his forehead. After that, he had a good sleep with us for another 3 hours.

Took him first thing to the doctor after his milk. He looks fine during the day. While sleeping, he coughed onto his bed again. Thank God it wasn't a big mess and our helper was a great help, which allowed us to concentrate on looking after Aaron. I was so tired out the other night that I didn't know he also coughed onto himself and the bed. Again, thank God CP heard and our helper was there to change the bedsheets.

We prayed over him for a fast recovery. Sweet dreams, Aaron!

[ Updated on 30 Jul 2011: Baby's fever subsided to 37.4ºC on Wed, 27 Jul but unfortunately, this didn't last. The next day afternoon, the fever escalated to 39ºC after his nap! We've been to two different PDs twice (that's 4 times) and wonder why the medicine didn't work?! We are going to another one tomorrow. Hopefully, Baby will get well instantly! :) ]

[Updated on 02 Aug 2011: Baby's fever finally subsided today (after seeing 5 doctors over 10 days) and stayed constantly below 37ºC. A happy cause! However, what follows next is rashes! Lots of them were spotted around his neck yesterday and today, they spread to his body! :( Heat rashes? Measles? Seen a doc. Fortunately, it's likely fake measles aka 出假麻 or 玫瑰疹!]
