For It's Flu, Not Just A Fever...

Last Thursday when i went to fetch Dina n Azalea from their nursery, the babysitter told me that both of them are having a fever. Oo'ooo.... Dina body temperature wasn't very high compared to Azalea, coz she already been given medication by the babysitter. While Azalea body temperature was quite high. I was comfirmed that night both my hubby n I wouldn't have a good night sleep.

That night Dina played as usual, but Azalea quietly lie down her head on my laps. I already gave her medications. Dina is easily assured about having to take medication but Azalea on the other hand is so hard.. she will pull, kick, spit...do whatever it takes to get the med out of her mouth. All I did that night was giving her 'Parmol'. When her temperature goes down a bit, she sleeps peacefully. But when the temp went up again, she started to whined...merengek..pusing2..mata pejam. Dina pun sama pulak tuh... I sponged both of them, but Dina didn't give any cooperation. Everytime her clothes gets wet..she asked for new clothes. While Azalea was fine with the sponging, but constantly pulled off 'coolpatch' from her forehead.

Yes, I have to do this to her.. Sorry Lea.. kalau tak Lea tak nak mkn ubat..sob..sob

The next day, i told my hubby, i cannot risk sending Azalea to nursery. I afraid they forget to give her the medication n her condition might get worst. So I stayed home with Azalea, and papa send Dina to Nursery. Not that I'm not worried about Dina health. But Dina can take care of herself. She definitely will ask the babysitter for her medication for she loves taking it. I repeat 'LOVE'.... It's true, dengan mama pun Dina will constantly remind me that it's time for her to take her medications. Of course la tak ikut timing, but as long as she feels that she wasn't well she would deinitely asked for..'ubat kakak'...

Friday evening, Azalea's conditions getting worse. She has runny nose, she cannot swallow her own saliva, milk..let alone food. We brought her to clinics... The doctor told us, 'to our horror', Azalea has 'throat ulcer'. The doctor gave us antibiotics(for azalea had tonsilitis b4, so everytime she has a fever, she has 2 be treated with antibiotics), oral lotion for throat's ulcers, n paracetamol. And that nite, we're having war...me n azalea... Marah betul dia ngan mama mlm tuh.. Sampai hari nih dia tak nak kat mama. And that nite, papa n mama only get to sleep at 4 am..

As on saturday her conditions doesn't get any better, we went for 2nd opinion at other clinic. This time Azalea was given a better medication...or i might said more powerful. Sian nyer anak mama...the ulcers still there. And because she has previous tonsilitis history, whenever she has a fever, her tonsil would definitely swollen n it's painful...uhhh...sedey sgt...sorry mama x jaga adik baik2 sampai kena tosilitis...tsk..tsk...

And then on Sunday nite, I felt so uncomfortable. Plus I still feel nausea. Papa told me to rest..thanks papa. But Monday morning, I wake up with pained all over my body... Papa said my temperature is OK. So I just get ready to work...(as usually..my morning puke takes all the time I have..). With constant morning sickness, puking n vomitting...I usually felt weak until I had my morning breakfast. So usually kalau rase lemah2 pon, aku gagahkan diri drive jugak..nanti dh mkn skit OK la kot. Bread is forbidden, coz it's lead to bloating n more vomitting. But that Monday was different, suddenly I couldn't swallow the 'karipap' i bought. And I ate not even half.. Rase seram sejuk. Then I realised that I drove at 60 kmph...patut la byk keta duk potong aku. Lemah sgt rasa...

As I arrived at my office, I realised my NOSE BLOCK has become runny nose, my eyes burning, my throat ache, my body is in pain. I went to meet my students n told them I don't think I can teach that day. I really hope they understand, coz i've been 'MC'ing few times and had to do a few replacement class. Sian diorg...

I went back to my office, and told Megh n Liena (by skype). Megh asked me to go to clinic, but I told her I had all the flu simptoms but my temp wasn't high. Megh assured me early medications help. Liena reminds me I'm in terms..I'm pregnant. So better get a rest or sumthing ... Thanks gals.. Tapi tak larat jugak nk gi klinik, rasa nk drive balik pon x larat. So I told Megh, I need to lie down..Megh offered to send me to clinics (as usual ;P..tu yg sayang Megh tuh, last time she even offered to use her ID for me so I can get treatments at panels. Tak leh la yang!!), but I have to politely declined. Nak jalan pon rase tak larat. So I lied down n eventually falls asleep.

At 4 pm I went to clinic..And to my dismayed..ramai la pulak org. And I had to wait around half an hour and I haven't had any lunch. And to my suprised, my temp is actually 38 degree celcius. Are u kidding me? I put my hand on my forehead...it wasn't hot. Doc kata, panas dalam tuh... So he gave me MC.

MC again? I wouldn't bluff, who do not love MC's. I like MCs.. but not at this time of the semester. MC means I have to cancel classes. Cancelling classes mean replacements.. Aduhhh...tapi badan mmg tak larat la... Lepas keluar klinik, terus beli mknn..tapi nk mkn x lalu. Beli buah, beli air..Mkn buah je..Air pon x lepas tekak. Slowly I drove home..safely. That nite, both Dina n Azalea throwing tantrums.. buat perangai. And I cried, entah nape nangis lak, sbb tak larat dah sgt2 nk layan diorg kot... tak pun it's my pregnancy hormons.

So yesterday, I just rest at home. Surf the net, makan ubat as prescribed, but couldn't sleep the whole day. Papa has been so nice taking care of everything for 2 days, the babies, foods.. even I know he's damn tired. Thanks papa.. (Actually he's taking care of almost everythings since I got pregnant.. =P )

But last nite, I felt better and as I've finished some marking, I decided to key in marks while watching TV, best la pulak aku tgk hell's kitchen, ghost whisperer (definitely a must), beauty n geek (dh nk abis season, saje la tgk) and Janice Dickinson's Agency. Sedar2 dah pukul 1.30 pagi. This must be the coffee... (lupe lak aku on medication, apsal minum coffee nih?) Konon nk hilangkan loya. Yeah, right..!! Last2 pukul 4 am baru tido, itu pun setelah papa bangun and saw me still in front of laptop and decided to stayed with me in the family hall. Err...tak pe lah papa, jom tido.

Baru nak tidur, Azalea screaming for milk, Dina wakes up and decided she needs to pee.. settled. Baru nak lelap, hp papa nyer alarm screaming at 4.40am!!!. Papa is fast asleep, so I had to bangun..n shut it up. Last2 tertidur jugak only to be awaken by my neighbour car, dengar kereta neighbour nih tau dah 6.15 am. Uhhhuuu... And again terjaga jam 7 am sbb nk solat. Suddenly papa kata dia kena gi awal, so x leh la nk lie down jap (sbb ari nih patut leh dtg lewat skit sbb kelas abis lambat)... Nak mandi... muntah (as usual) tanpa henti...tapi kosong. And last but not least...SAKIT KEPALA!!!!!
