When it's our turn, Dr Chua confirmed that Daryl had indeed contracted chicken pox. The irony is... he's vaccinated against it. Dr Chua told us that even though Daryl is vaccinated, there's still a 5% chance that he can get it. Haiz... how come we aren't that lucky when it comes to the Toto? Luckily, his case is not that serious. Dr Chua predicted that he would recover within 1 week. However, he still gave Daryl 2 weeks MC as it's the standard procedure. He told us to come back again when Daryl has recovered so that he can certified that he can go back to school. I also asked Dr Chua whether Dawn can go to school since she's in close contact with Daryl. Dr Chua said that since she's vaccinated recently & she doesn't show any signs, she can go to school as per normal tomorrow. I heaved a sigh of relief as I don't relish the thought of having 2 hyperactive kids at home for 1 week. He prescribed paracetamol for Daryl, just in case he develops a fever & an anti-itch med to combat the itchiness.
We left the clinic after we collected the meds & went home. Wish me luck...
