Happy Mother's Day

This is my 2nd year celebrating this day....but today and this year is not a good one....



Mum hasn't been feeling well again for the past few days. Yesterday she was so weak till she need Dr Tan to come in for house visit, but he wasn't free to come by. Diana brought her to see him instead. We didn't plan to go anywhere since Mum's not feeling too good.



ZoZo was as sticky to Mum. No choice lah, if he hears her voice (coughing) and not seeing her or let her carry, he will cry. So mum cuddled him for awhile in the evening and at night when she was better, she fed him milk and patted him to bed together with me.



At 6+am this morning, when I touched ZoZo's forehead, it was hot. Took his temperature was 38.1 degrees. After feeding him with milk I quickly gave him his paracetamol. When he woke up at 9+am, his temperature went down alittle. After he passed motioned we quickly go bathe him to bring down his temperature. He was very grouchy. After feeding him I patted him and let him take a short nap.



When he woke up, he was still ok. So we prepared to go collect Dar's car (send to repray the door) Before we left, his temperature was at 38.9. While I was preparing to give him Bifen, mum suddenly shouted for us.....ZoZo had his 2nd febrile fits attack at about 215pm. Still as panick and frightened, but we quickly place him on his side. His saliva was oozing out from his mouth, his eyes rolled up again, face turned pale, lips turned blackish.....we kept calling out his name to keep him awake. Used ice water to sponge his head. He started shivering and shaking. We covered him with blanket. He was back to his senses after 1-2mins. My hands were trembling again....but fortunately we know how to handle better this time.



Really damn lucky we have yet to step out to go collect the car. If not, left with Mum, Jie and Mini, they sure panick until duno what to do. We continued to let him lay on side, when he starting whining, at least the stone in our heart dropped. Quickly I fed him with Bifen. He was shivering as he was cold but his temperature was high. He clenched his fits very tightly and still not relaxing.....quickly we massage him to loosen his muscles. Slowly he starts to get alittle tired and drowsy, so he slept. While he was sleeping we took our chance to sponge him non-stop to bring his temperature down....

When he woke up, he was kinda weak, didn't have the strength to walk on his own....haiz...when he's about to walk steadily, now he kena fever....haiz....In the evening, suddenly his temperature shot up again, his lips was kinda darken abit as well, his skin was alittle flower like patch....we quickly sponge and monitor him just in case he has another fit attack.....

Anyway to be continued in my next post, gota go look after him as he just woke up from his nap....God Bless my ZoZo....
