Daryl is Having a Fever (Part II)

Daryl's fever has not subsided at all. Worst... his temp had increased during the night. I woke up this morning at 5am to check on him. To my horror, his temp is 40.8 deg! I was horrified! I went out to the kitchen to take his medicine. Then I woke Kel up & asked him to take a basin of water so that we can sponge Daryl down. Daryl was very upset at being sponged down. In the end, we let him play with the water in the basin. By doing so, we hoped that his temp will subsided. Daryl got himself, part of our bed & his cot wet, but we didn't mind coz his temp did subsided slightly. After that, we went back to sleep.

I woke up again at 9.30am. By then, Kel had already woken up & was reading the newspapers in the living room. Daryl was still sleeping soundly, probably due to the effects of the medicine. I got out of bed reluctantly to shower & change so that we can bring Daryl to see Dr Chua. When we were done, Daryl still had not woken up. Seeing his angelic face when he's sleeping, we couldn't bear to wake him up, so we decided to carry him up & go out. However, by doing so, we woke him up. He looked so cute with that blury look on his face... But don't be fooled by that blury look... When we told him that we are going out, he immediately perked up & even waved bye bye & blow a kiss to Asty. It was so funny...

At Dr Chua's clinic, he diagnosed that Daryl is suffering from tonsillitis which is causing his fever. On top of that, he also got a sore throat. No wonder Daryl doesn't have much of an appetite yesterday. It was so bad that he doesn't even want to drink his milk. Dr Chua prescribed paracetamol, antibotics & cough medicine for Daryl. We asked Dr Chua how did he fall sick. Dr Chua's reply is that viruses are very prevalent in the air these days, thus people with low immune systems then to get sick easily. As kids' immune system is not that strong, therefore, they fall sick easily. That was not very reassuring to hear. We can't possibly cooped Daryl at home the whole time. Well, we just have to take 1 step at a time...

After seeing Dr Chua, we went back home so that Daryl can rest. I am keeping my fingers & toes crossed that he'll recover soon.
