We are Sick

Mal and I have been sick for the past few days. He was having fever on and off. His temperature hit his record high on Tuesday afternoon when it went up to 39.4. Surprisingly after 2 doses of medication, the fever went off and he could sleep through the night till Wednesday morning and was well the whole day until afternoon when the temperature went up again. Woke up at 4 am this morning to feed him medicine and after that both of us had problem going back to sleep. So finally we woke up at 5 am for breakfast! Tried to sleep again, but we finally gave up and began our day at 7 am. Brought him to see the doctor but wasn’t of much help as the doc did not even give him any medication. Initially the doc suspected strep throat as Mal complained to have some tummy pain and throat pain, but after taking some sample from his throat and did some tests, he concluded that it was negative and we were asked to go home without any medication. Not even fever reliever as normally people here self medicate. Medication such as fever reliever can be found in any pharmacies. Doc said that it might be some kind of viral infection and since Mal did not look very lethargic, according to him, monitoring his temperature should be good enough. So will see how it goes…

So we have been home bound for the past few days. The day can seem extremely long when cooped up at home and especially so when Daddy was not around. Did a bit of activity with ???’s activity book and to cheer him up a little, we baked again. On Tuesday, we baked his favourite pandan chiffon cake and yesterday, we baked some banana walnut muffin which he was only interested in baking and not eating! He went “iirrrk! don’t put the banana inside, I don’t like the smell!” when he saw me mixed in the banana!

thought Mal was too young for this activity book

Mal loves all the stickers inside the book

and can even do some of the activity inside the book like tracing lines and drawing lines with ruler to link up matching items (he sure looks tired, doesn’t he ?)

helping to lay the muffin cups into each holes

as usual…helping to beat the mixture (I knew from his super obvious double eyelid that he is running a fever again! Normally he will have small puffy eyes like Mummy! Poor thing…only can have Daddy big eyes when he is sick ! hahah)

oh it sure smells yummy…

but only smell…when it comes to eating…this is as far as he could go…just a teeny weeny bite from the toothpick!

picking up the muffins using the toothpick to pack them in the box (he looks as if he got lipstick on! it is plain dehydration!)
