March is such a happening month.
1stly is the falling from the bed and now my princess has fallen sick.
Why must babies fall sick when they are spotting their 1st tooth?
That's precisely the reason for princess kaira's fever, throat and backside infection. Her fever was at a high of 38.5 degree when my parents-in-law brought her to the nearby Gek Poh Centre clinic. For 2 bottles of medication and 1 buttock cream, her medical bill sum up to $45! When did a trip to the doctor became so expensive? Damn the inflation.
She could barely eat, 1/2 her usual chirpy self and serious lack of sleep. During her ordeal, it was both physically and emotionally draining for the whole family. Everything that she used to like or enjoy has became her instant dislike. Like bathing, crawling and eating. She's in no mood for nothing! She whines, cry, show her displeasure at EVERY single opportunity! She refused to be put to bed no matter how tired and would only fell asleep on your shoulder while you carry her.
Seeing how the fever still persist, bordering between high of 37 and low of 38, we brought her to another doctor. This trip costed us $63! But the medication worked (thank god!). By doctor's order, princess lived solely on sugar-water (1 teaspoon of white sugar with 100ml of water). No plain water (for it will washed away her existing nutrients), no wheat, no milk, no solid, no nuts and bathe at least 3 times a day (my MIL was saying NO bathing! Bless the doc soul for his instructions). Basically she's on liquid meal all the way until her fever subside.

(the life saviour)Princess has lost 3 kg out of this illness and what a way to spend the Easter Holiday! Unforgetable...
Well the best thing that came out of this bitter-sweet phase -> princess kaira 1st tooth has finally arrived! I spotted a jagged white edge on the gum surface...
I pray this stage will end quickly, hopefully over the next 2days or so (I need a good massage! Bangkok here I come....)
