Rashes...Rashes......

Eeanne started to refuse her water intake since last Tuesday. All this while Eeanne only has rejection for her milk but never on her favourite water drinking. Yet mummy still dumb dumb to suspect anything unusual. Daddy is smart to comment that Eeanne might have sore throat but mummy took the comment so lightly. Mummy really deserve for the sense of guilt!!

It took only 2 days since then Eeanne started to have her first fever attack on Thursday evening (38.4C)and was given one dose of PCM. That day I still remember that mummy and daddy hardly sleep the whole night. Both daddy & mummy had been frightened by our own foolishness. When we tested Eeanne temperature around 1.30am, the ear thermometer showed 100.4F, we were so panic and suddenly all our mathematic conversion of Fahrenheit to Celcius just can't get out from our mind. Huh...daddy immediately opened up his labtop to surf through internet...oh no...it seemed like taking a decade for daddy to tell the result in Celcius. Hai...finally mummy just burst out "handphone has the converter!"

Finally we got the 38.0C...we can't sleep since then and keep monitoring Eeanne ear temperature. At 2 a.m. the reading shot up to 101.7F(38.7C) and we decided to put her on 2nd dose of PCM. The whole night I kept waking up to feel her forehead and PCM worked but only last for 5 hours.

The next early morning around 7a.m, Eeanne's fever went up to 39.1C, I gave her anohter dose of PCM. We brought her to her usual Paed. and only Progesic(PCM) and anti-inflammatory enzyme were prescribed. The diagnosis was....Eeanne had a white ulcer on her throat!!!!

That Friday....mummy was just like a zombie during her company meeting....

Friday night we were lucky to have our Doctor cousin's visit and Eeanne was prescribed with Augmentin syrup.

Sat&Sun were like a nightmare for mummy..Eeanne's fever very unstablebly going "ding dong'. Eeanne started to vomit immediately after taking her medicine especially the Augmentin, then it followed by diarrhea. Then she started to refuse all food and drink....

Sat: zero oz of milk intake
Sun: only 5oz of milk intake

Mummy really really panic when Eeanne didn't even want to have her ORS after so many times diarrhea...Eeanne is going to get dehydrated!!! It was so heart sick to see her getting lethargic and inactive....her eyes were so drooping and it can tell from her eyes expresion that Eeanne was so stunned. Mummy started to give PCM suppository on Sat. night to prevent Eeanne from vomitting.

Throughout whole Sat, every 2 hours mummy got to change Eeanne's diaper due to the watery stool.
For only 2 days (Sat&Sun), mummy became supermodel by keep changing cloth now and then due to Eeanne's vomit.

Finally Eeanne got through the battle and got her normal temperature this morning(Monday). Mummy sleepily got the feel on Eeanne's neck and forehead temperature and with such a relief to FEEL her temperature back to normal. When mummy opened her eyes....AH.......what happen to Eeanne's face....??

Eeanne's face, front & back trunk were full of red dots....oh poor Eeanne, another wave of worrisome hit us......

We can't find any clinic open today due to Deepavali public holiday. We waited for Weng Tarng cousin just to have a look on Eeanne's rashes. We gave her Zyrtec and before her sleep on Pirion. The rashes do not seems to be subsiding. Till now still have no idea on the source of this rashes, could be allergic reaction to Augmentin according to Weng Tarng cousin....mom in law said it might be a false alarm of Measles....mom said it is a detoxifying episode aftermath of the fever....

Hopefully tomorrow morning mummy able to see Eeanne's happy and beautiful face...even though I know clearly this will take around 3-4 days to subside. No matter how Eeanne's face look like, she is still mummy's Pretty Little Princess....
