From sore throat to vomitting and the caregiver being knocked out too... Gosh.. what a bad timing. On Friday morning, he vomitted his milk out. Went to see Dr Khor and she said, yup, his throat is worse than last Saturday and also watch out for stomach flu as it is in season. She told me to watch out for other ulcers or spots as I told her there was a case of HFMD reported in school on 28Feb. We loiterred around ToyRUs then went for lunch. He was whiny and wasn't too keen on lunch. I ordered pumpkin soup, caesar salad (wasn't keen on giving him, but he kept asking for it) and a muffin. He ate some of the salad and drank some soup, then he puked out everything. Poor kid. I was thinking that he might have stomach flu. He was not happy when I told him I have to go to Breadtalk to get some bread. He was just so whiny! Then we went to Jasons to get some groceries, he was such a happy kid prancing around look at the fresh produce. After checking out, he told me that he wanted to go home. I knew he was tired and empty stomach. Poor kid. Sigh... Took a cab back and he slept on the way home. I was tired too and I felt fluish and feverish. When we got home, I bathed Shawn and we both knocked out for hours. That night he puked out his dinner too even though it's just porridge with silverbait and some carrots. So in conclusion it was a empty stomach day for Shawn. Luckily he was willing to drink lots of water.
This morning he puked out his milk again. However, we survived the lunch. Plain silverbait and pork porridge. He started off drinking the porridge water and then ate the porridge. I was so worried that he might just puke all out. But much to my relief, things are getting better. He ate plain porridge with sweet potato and some brocolli tonight, ate a little piece of pear and drank his milk - touchwood they all stayed in his stomach. As Dr Khor was warning me expect diarrhoea, it did happen this evening but it is not so bad. It is the side effect of Mylanta.
As for me, last night was hell. I woke up croaky as a frog and I was probably running temperature this morning. Ate some panadol and knock out while Shawn was watching Handy Manny in the morning, while Dylan in the playyard. Then I shooed all to the bedroom and all of us took a nap from noon to 2pm. YT was working night shift last night since 11pm and only got back at 3pm or so. Poor man was very tired and tonight he left for work again at 11am. I didn't plan for my own lunch but luckily I cooked extra for the kids, so I ended up eating their porridge. Silverbait porridge doesn't taste that bland afterall. I shooed all to nap again at 4plus and we woke up at 6plus. Bathed the kids and had their Japanese sweet potato porridge, which I cooked extra too. YT woke up at 930pm and bought Hor Fun dinner back. Finally real food for the day!
Overall, it's one hell of a shitty weekend. Hope all would recover (including myself) by tomorrow.
