Late Night Adventure

Last night, Janelle was fast asleep and Royston decided to take her temperature. The reading was 39.5 degrees! *panic*

We quickly got hold of a wet towel to sponge her and drove her down to Mt Alvernia's 24-hour outpatient centre at 10:30pm. On the way down, we had to make some phonecalls to find out "how high is considered high for fever?" to decide whether to send her to A&E or to a GP. 

Poor girl - she was woken up by the countless times we took her temperature and the touch of the wet cloth against her fiery-hot body. Her concerned grandparents also drove down all the way to Mt A just to see how she was.

By the time we reached Mt A, her temperature had dropped to 38.8 degrees - still high but at least not as high as earlier on. The doctor said it was probably a viral fever and if the fever persists for more than 3 days, it could be urinary tract infection. So, it is definitely not due to her teething!

Throughout the whole of last night, Royston dutifully woke up at every hour just to take her temperature. Thank God it did not soar to more than 39.1 degrees.

Till now, her temperature still rises and falls like the stock market. But on the average is about 38.5 degrees. Poor Janelle - for the first time since she was born, she looks kind of sick and is not her usual cheerful self. She is also really manja / "yang-oh" and super sticky to Angeline. Praying that God will heal her soon!
