...and then there were two!

Viral Fever

DN is sick... pooey.

When we put him in bed last night, he was perfectly fine. An hour later, he woke up crying. He was hot! A fever, just like that! His temperature was about 39 degrees. Thank goodness we had some paracetamol in the fridge.

We were actually supposed to attend a birthday party this afternoon. PF and I were looking forward to it for two reasons:

1. It's a KFC party and DN is now old enough to join in the games (sort of) and he'll probably win a prize or two coz he's a baby and everyone panchangs the baby!
   
2. It's a KFC party! ('nuff said. Colonel Sanders, you da man!)
   

So we missed the party coz DN has a viral infection (I think he got it from Globetrotters, grrr...) and is highly contagious. Oh well. :( So we spent the day relaxing at home, watching Bob the Builder, playing with his toys, reading books...

DN wasn't moody or grumpy at all, just hot, so nothing for us to worry about really. I found this on www.kidshealth.org...

"The illness is probably not serious if your child:

• is still interested in playing
• is eating and drinking well
• is alert and smiling at you
• has a normal skin color
• looks well when his or her temperature comes down."

Hmm, let's see... DN was still begging for crackers, fruits, fries (we had to have our KFC!)... smiling on demand... running all over the house... yes, I think he's fine!

DN hated having the fever patch on his forehead. Kept shaking his head when we tried to put it on and when it's on, he'd fling it right off and it'd go "piak" on the floor. (It's a gel pad.)


But I love the fever patch! It's got cute little penguins on it!
