On Saturday, we brought our littlle prince to Downtown East, where we collected photos and had a meal at the Japanese Restaurant on the 6th floor of E-hub. The food sucks and it cost Daddy and Mummy a bomb.. haha.. After that we visited Joyce Ah Yee's house at Buangkok. At her house, we noticed that our boy was sleeping a lot and drinking very little milk. The nightmare began when we reached home... Lucas started to make little " Mur- Mur" sounds as if he was telling us he is not feeling well. As we go deeper into the night, we notice that his temperature rose steadily till it hit 37.5 Deg C. We gave Lucas some fever medication ( half a pill of pink panadol ) only to realise later we could have gotten some panadol syrup. On Sunday Morning, Lucas temperature return back to normal but as the afternoon draws, his temperature rose like mad until it reached 38.5 Deg C. Both Daddy & Mummy started to panick... and quickly called Mummy Cynthia for SOS... As per her advice, we gave Lucas a warm shower and dried him quickly. This brought his temp down effectively. We then monitored his temp again and decided to head to our family doctor as we were running out of the panadol. Doctor Heng ( our family Doc ) was not around and the stand-in Doc gave us panadol syrup. When we asked him under what circumstance should we bring Lucas to A&E, he said when Baby hits 40 Deg C. At that moment both Mummy and Daddy looked at each other in disbelief !! In our hearts we were saying " Dude, are you dumb or what? 40 Deg C is gonna fry the brain off my son !!! " After the doc visit we went home to Grandma's house at Hougang... everyone was concerned about Lucas health. Even Uncle Richard and 5th Auntie helped to feed Lucas panadol. Sad to say, Mummy and Daddy were supposed to bring Lucas to Auntie Huilin's baby girl's BABY SHOWER, but in the end we had to miss this outing la.. Into Sunday night, both Mummy & Daddy kept vigil over Lucas hoping that his temp will not shoot up again... His temp was pretty constant at 35 to 36 Deg C, but he was cranky the whole night... Mummy had to hold him to make him sleep... In order to give Lucas and Mummy more space, Daddy was relegated to sleep on the floor. We gave Lucas a temp check and medication every 3 hours. In between Lucas drink milk but not too much. Eventually Lucas KO at 4am, so both Mummy and Daddy KO together with him until 7 in the morning.. stay tuned for more updates, haha... |
