High Fever Part III

After my son fully recovered from viral fever on 23/11. Myself fell into sick on the following days until today (5th day).. fever, sore throat, body bone pain.. according to doctor, viral fever can be contagious to anyone. Yesterday (Sunday), we attended Ashley's calligraphy competition in The Mines Exhibition Centre, I was not feeling so well, what to do? I have to support Ashley and she insisted to go for it. Bus, after her competition, Ashley told me that she is very cold, not feeling so well.. OMG! she has got fever 38C... so we went home and straight to clinic. After medicine, she feels better, but in the midnight, her temperature was 38.5 C... sweat a alot and quickly get her to change her shirt... this morning, her temperature was normal. But, after back from tuition class, her temperature was back to 38.5C again.. she refused to eat, and telling me that she has no appetite..I only can feed her medicine directly...few minutes later, I'm worried about my son although his fever just recovered, when I hugged him, his body is... hot.. Huh, how come like that one!!! .. I did the temperature test on him, the temperature is 37.6C... what happened to my family? Why the virus still around us and attack us for so long..

* deng deng deng*

I went for the hands on class today. The purpose is to enhanced my baking standard. And, of course due to few of them requested me to bake this barbie doll for their princess. OK, I am qualified now.. after attended the class, in my mind was like... huh, so easy one ah.. (maybe I already have the basic on it)Of course, I only will attend Chef Lai's baking class!! Her recipe and teaching styles are the best so far. Most importantly, she is a very patient Chef to teach each of the students till we know how to use the tools.

Ben 10 Boys

The Ben 10 Boys are in the town!! 

See, my son is the Ben 10 lover from the t-shirts, watch, shoes all are in Ben 10. His buddy Hai Xuan also a fans of Ben 10. My son is older than his buddy 2 months, and yet, his buddy is bigger size than my son!!! 

Lorenzo Queen Size Mattress

Su

Supposedly to get Ashley "Sweet Dream" mattress anyway due to unforeseen circumstances so called "boss" is not free to deliver to me in time. So, might as well, myself to buy from Lorenzo since I need it soonest possible maa!! This mattress is only 9 inch height (actually not meet my requirement) but never mind la... the quality not so bad... hard type and good for kids and myself. But, Ashley says she likes the hard type mattress than soft one, and she knows that soft type is not good for back bone especially on her on growing stage. So, this mattress is Ashley's new mattress for her own room, and she is starting sleep on her own every night. And as for my son Ian, he will be sleep with his own room too.. BUT... daddy & mummy will be their sleeping partner for each!! hahaha.. Hubby feel uncomfortable without sleeping with them and he blames that gonna soon both kids don't want to sleep with daddy & mummy soon, so he wanted to sleep with his kids at this valuable periods before kicking out their daddy & mummy.

High fever Part II

 1st visit in hospital

The first day fell into sick on 17/11(Wed), and the following day his fever was like 38.8 to 40C from the first day to 22/11(Mon). I couldn't sleep from the first day... brought him to clinic but the medicine doesn't work on him, I keep on monitoring on his temperature every 10 minutes. I was kinda worried that he refused to eat, drink. No choice, the 19/11(Fri), we brought him to KPJ, Kajang. My boy was extremely behave and cooperate with all doctor and nurses. The medical officer put us in priority due to his high fever and instructed me to bring my boy to bathroom to take a cold shower from head to toe. I was like "Oh my god, the hospital air-con is already very cold and you want me to put him on cold water!!" My hubby asked me to listen to the medical officer instruction otherwise my son won't recover soonest. No choice, I brought my son to bathroom and take a cold shower, and can't believed that my son never cry and scream nor complaint that the water is very cold, and he really listened to me and the nurses. (i think my son knew that he is really sick). Amazingly, my son body temperature has reduced. Then we proceed to see Doctor, and my son is not necessary to admit unless his body temperature is still high after 3 days, then we need to bring him back to hospital for blood test. 

 2nd visit

 22/11 (Mon), the fever still high as 40C and bring my son for 2nd visit in KPJ Kajang. At this time, my son is required to do a blood test. He was such a brave boy, never cry or refused on the blood test. (we asked him why he never cry, he replied us "daddy, mummy and jie jie asked me don't panic and cry mah, so I don't want to cry lor!) After waiting for an hour, the blood test report is out, report shown that no dengue (thanks god) but viral fever and this fever will bring up to 10 days... oh no, still got 3 days to go!!

While waiting for the report, we were eating at the cafeteria. slurps~~ the cantonese yee mee was so delicious!~ my daughter is very particular on foods, and she really can finish the whole plate of noodle means that is really yummy to her. I'm proud of her during this period, because she helped me to take care of her brother and supportive to her brother. (Although they fight everyday, but when someone is not feeling well they sure will give supportive and look after each other) Hubby & me supposed not allow jie jie to follow us to hospital due to there are many virus and germs in the hospital especially emergency department, but she told us that she wants follow because she wants to be with her brother and accompany him if her didi cries. Then hubby said let her follow la since didi also need someone to play with in the hospital. She also bought some story books for her didi to read, daddy the first time to become the kids story teller!!

What happens after we back home from 2nd visit hospital, I called my mom, and my dad & mom was super duper worried on their grandson!!! They can't even work, and rush to "Chinese wholesale house" @ Jalan Ipoh to buy this super expensive powder which is called 箭猪粉 in English called as "porcupine bezoar" what's so special about this powder, I will tell you more on my next blog! According to my mom, she bought less than 3gm and cost her RM300... on that night itself, my mom & dad rush to my house and feed my son for 1gm and guess what??!!! My son sweats non-stop till 2nd day morning. And the body temperature from 40C to 37.5C after eating 箭猪粉 "porcupine bezoar" in 30 minutes!! Heard from my dad that only certain Chinese herbal shop sell this powder and the price is up to RM10,000 above for the first grade and this powder is specialized on infection,dengue and cancer, 100% can heal from the sickness.

On 23/11, Tuesday, my son is fully recovered. Special thanks to all friends given me so much of supportive. But of course my parents letting them to worry on me so much, they afraid I can't handle my son and allowed me to stay at home till my son is fully recovered. (I feel myself lucky because I'm working for my dad, and they are such an understanding boss to me)

High fever

Thought of today will be his last day in Q-Dees and let him plays with his friends. Unfortunately, he fell into sick since yesterday.. the heat was like 38C to 39C till now..  I am not so worried since his appetite is very good. Request for milk, water, rice, and noodles. But, of course I won't let him eat rice lor.. 

My son requested hubby & me.. :" Mummy, after my dinner, please bring me to Jusco, I long time didn't go Jusco already (in fact, he just went last night)..." Then I told him "you can go but make sure you eat medicine otherwise fever cannot go Jusco" and he replied me :" OK, no problem, I need shower before I go Jusco, you see, my body sweating and smelly, if not I cannot go shopping one" *fainted*

Irritating sounds

I have changed 4 units of new doors for the 4 rooms during renovation. And, all in white coated paint... after 2 months later, the door blade's joint has occurs very irritating sound... Hubby told me that he will buy the "oil" to reduce and sound but until 1 week later, he totally forgotten everything and seems no action at all. Till yesterday midnight, I really "beh tahan" the sound, and keep on searching my room, ask myself what can I do with the doors? After a few minutes, I open my chest drawer, and I saw my body lotion!!! Hahaha.. Don't bother too much, just quickly apply alot of lotion on the blades, after that I pull the door back and front for several times, and guess what? The irritating sound has gone!!! Hooray.... I actually can solved by myself! 

          

Privacy

Just very MAD at those people do not know what is privacy!! I am seriously very very mad now!! What's happening? Let me tell you...

Since 2 months ago, my MIL's sister shifted to near my house (same row. luckily not next to me)... And she is now everyday lunch and dinner in my house!! I initially don't really like her because of her personality, damn annoying me.. what say so?  We hardly move far away because hubby and I don't like people disturb our life... and last year, she insisted to buy a house near to us.. and my MIL helped her to LOOK a house here...
and this is ended of the buying house and she is permanent staying next to us...

Now, everyday she comes to my house, go to my kids room, my room touch this and that.. I really don't like such people get involved my life and I need privacy.. I have been staying here for 4 years and I feel comfortable but ever since she moved to our area, she everyday come to my house and trying to be "helpful", and I really don't need that "helpful hand".. all the while I do the house cores myself, and I never ask her to do so... adjust my room's thing, adjust my kids room's table.. adjust my garden plants.. I'm gonna burst!!!!

Friends, advise me, what can I do? If I tell my MIL she sure will say, aunt only help you.. a typical MIL I have too... I DAMN MADDDDDD now!!! I was just thinking, this is my house why should I give faces to them and I can just voice out and ask her to stop to do so, right? But my hubby stop me!! HOW lar??!!!!!
