I am on Child Sick Leave

Sorry everyone that I promised I will provide the recipe for “yam paste” for today but could not do so, have to postpone it to a later date coz I am on child sick leave these 2 days.
My son is now in hospital as he suffered from fits attacks 3 times in a day due to high fever.

Yesterday was a very tough day for my husband and I coz our son got persistent high fever though we fed him with paracestamol faithfully and even sponged him frequently but the fever just did not subside.

It was really scary to see our son going through fits….
His body suddenly stiffen and did not seemed to breathe…. Having seen this, we gotta very quickly lie him sideway and pat him lightly so that he would not choked on his own saliva or vomits…… then he kept shivering and seemed unconscious….after that he suddenly coughed and vomited…. Then he slowly regain consciousness but still very groggy.

We really need to have a lot of courage to go through all these, and three times in a day is no joke! We need to stay calmed while saving him but deep inside us, we were so panicked and worried dont know when he would regain consciousness!! It was really very hard on us….

What made our hearts sink even more is his phobia of staying in the hospital.
He kept crying and wanted me to be around all the time, carrying him day and night.
He was so scared when the doc uses her stethoscope, when the nurses came in to take his temperature hourly, prick his finger for blood test, paste urine bag on his body to collect urine, tie his foot for blood pressure….. all these seemed to ne a torture to him!!
He rejects all food and drinks, he refused to sleep on the hospital bed and he wanted to go home… Every cry he made is like tearing my heart apart!!

Currently my boy’s fever is under control but we still gotta stay coz he still needs observation and gotta wait for the test results to be out!

This is the 2nd episode of fits attack. The 1st was on 23 sept 2006 which was on our wedding anniversary!! :)

Actually I did not expect he would get it the 2nd time coz I have duly followed what some listeners have taught me about a TU FANG recipe to get old chilli roots, cut into 7parts then boil it with lean meat to drink. My mum even went all way out to ask her friend to get the very hard to get old chilli roots here to get from Malaysia…… Really sad that it did not work….. sigh!!

Gotta really pray hard and hope that this will never happen again…..
