A sickly week

Both boys were down. Zq started to have really chesty cough and runny nose last Sunday and it got worse on Monday so we brought him to see vist Dr. Pauline, our regular PD here at Beijing. Glad to hear that it's just normal cold and cough and no wheezing detected though he was extremely phlegmy. Coupled with the cough is a series of vomit episodes which really drives me crazy as i got lots of cleaning up to do after which. He was absent from school from Tuesday to Thursday, he couldn't wait to back to school and diligently reminded me to give him medicine as he claimed that “老师和小朋友都很想子骞，他们在等我”. It's good that he loves school but i also starts to enjoy his days at home, doing some activities, art & craft with him, he's rather mature now and knows that mama's time & attention need to be split between didi and him, and he's been rather understanding on this. My big boy, he has grown up so much...

Then it was An An's turn to fall sick. He developed high fever suddenly at 39 degree celsius! No sign of unwell prior to this. He looked so lethargic, insisted to ride on his rocking horse and didn't allow anyone to touch him including me, this was weird. He was moaning on his rocking horse and not rocking it at all, looking so pitiful. I took him to Dr Pauline and we did a blood test, it was bacteria infection, so antibiotic "Augmentin" was prescribed. She told me he should recovered from fever by Saturday, as bacteria infection came and recovered fast. But his temperature has been yo-yo-ing for the past few days, just as we thought the fever was gone for good, it back again! And to make thing worse, he had diarrhoea, vomiting, coughing, runny nose and a very sore butt resulting from the frequent loose bowels, he was not spared from the "full package". It was tortorous to see his lil body fighting so many sick bugs! :( We brought him for another PD visit just to make sure it was not the side effect of antibiotic. He has been a strong healthy boy with little illness, this is his 3rd time falling sick in this 18 months, and it takes rather long to recover everytime. Please be well soon my lil teddy bear.. It's so painful to see that you have to take these medicines and your hoarse voice from all the chesty cough.. Love you both, be strong! Mama is fighting the ill bugs together with you!
