A is back to his usual self

The doctors at KKH had A did another blood test and the dengue results were negative, which was a relief. We had a very, very difficult time drawing blood from A. His veins were so hard to find, we had to wrap him in a large towel, and poke a needle at his foot. Even then, the doctor had to pull the needle in and out for the blood to finally flow ...

In the end, the doctors could only determine that it was a viral fever. I spent the nights with A at the hospital and CP took over during the day. Finally the fever seemed to be gone for good on Sat. His platelet count shows a good increase over the past 2 days and he is good to be discharged.

A was reluctant though, he probably thinks the hospital is like a hotel .... he loved the food and the kiddy car there ... Me, I'm just glad to be out of there. The couch is never a substitute for my comfy bed!

Baby A's sick

Oh man, this is a first time I rather not have. A was admitted to hospital. He had been having a fever for the past 6 days and a very blocked nose. He couldn't sleep at night, woke up every 30 min. We couldn't sleep too ...

Today after a very difficult blood test in the morning ... the pd said that he could be having dengue fever and advised us to admit him to KK Hospital.

Look at him now having his dinner ... doesn't look sick at all ... :)
