B is sick and there goes our plan

B started coughing during the time where DC went for his boot camp. I stopped her medication a few days ago as her nanny confirmed many times that she didn't had cough even though I also felt that she is still coughing. Wrong move! Yesterday morning, she started coughing many times (all along it was only once). The multiple coughs confirmed our fears!

In the middle of the night, she developed fever. This meant that our plan to go MBS to watch the NDP fireworks was not possible now! We canceled our booking today. Our holiday mood (esp DC's) was dampened as we look forward to our first staycation since B was born. The only consolation was that the hotel waived the penalty charges.

[09 Aug 2012: B's coughing badly, vomiting her milk almost every feed! It was a relief actually that we didn't insist on going MBS for the stay. I couldn't imagine clearing the mess and changing 4-5 clothes, we would have run out of clothes!! Her fever remains 37.8ºC but she's still active. Hope she gets better tomorrow!]

[10 Aug 2012: We brought B to her PD and were asked to use a nebulizer on her for 5 days as she was very phlegmy. The first time we administered that on her, she woke up from her sleep and did not move at all. She got that curious look on her face, I guess she must be wondering why are mummy and daddy putting on masks and what are they giving me? Haha, subsequent times were difficult. She struggled away from it and like her brother, we had to hold her down. She did feel better after it but, we started hearing A coughs! :(]

[12 Aug 2012: I managed to have a no-puke day today! Yeah! But, her fever came back. 38.4ºC in the day and 37.7 at night. And, A's cough was getting more frequent! :(]

[14 Aug 2012: B's cough was much better and her fever subsided. We were guilty that we wasn't able to administer the nebuliser on her for 4x in 3 days. Fortunately today, we were able to do so.]

[15 Aug 2012: Brought B back to PD's for follow up. She needn't the nebuliser now that she was much better. Doc prescribed some medication for her blocked nose and cough and some cream as she had some heat rashes around her neck area (suspected heat rashes or fake measles). She was able to sleep through for the past few nights, Amen! :) ]

[18 Aug 2012: B's blocked nose is cleared! Finally! :)]
