yes yes.. Emma was down with slight fever on Christmas morning. Her temperature hovered at 37.3 oC, and at some points hit 37.8 oC. Coupled with a slight runny nose and itchy throat, I'm sure Emma didn't enjoy the feeling. I guess the I passed the bug to her. argh! I was down with fever on Sat night and was wasted the whole Sun. Felt much better on Mon, but even then, I've refrained from physical contact with Emma, and even wore face mask during the times I've to carry her. Yet the persistent bug hit our precious little daughter.
It sure was an experience for Ade and I. Our very first experience caring for a sick child. But Emma was such a fighter through it all, smiling and chuckling away whenever she's awake, despite the cold cloth that's placed on her forehead to keep the temperature at bay. We only gave Emma a dose of infant paracetamol medicine, and thank God for strengthening Emma throughout, for her temperature went down below 36.7 oC. That was certainly a relief for Ade and I.
A big 'thank you" to all of Emma's uncles, aunties and friends who've been praying for her recovery. Thank God that Ade was still well, and didn't fall ill even though Emma and I were both under the weather at the same time. =)
