Not a Good Week

Last week was not a good week for us. Two kids were not well. On 8/8/2011 Yan Yan and I sleep in the guest room as the master room's air cond was die on us. Heng Heng slept with the daddy. On 2am mid night, Yan Yan cough out of a sudden. This is normally follow by vomit. I quickly grabbed a container to stand by. True enough she was in the verge of vomiting. She vomit a few times and could not sleep. She complaint the tummy was pain.
I attended her for about 3 hours and we both didn't really sleep.She was vomiting quite frequent and I know it was something not right. She didn't have fever either. Around 5am I woke up hubby and he took over the job to take care Yan Yan. I needed some rest badly. I slept next door and due to I am a light sleeper I could actually hear Yan Yan went vomit on and off. She vomit till we were lost count.

Without anymore delay, early in the morning, I brought her to see doctor.

Doctor checked on her. She might came down with rotavirus. Doctor gave her a suppository to stop the vomit since she could not take in the oral medicine. She cried and begged us not to do it to her. She is very afraid of inserting suppository actually. No choice but we have to do it. Doctor carefully taught me how to feed her fluids. If is very important to make sure she get enough fluids than what was being vomit out. If she could not take in anything, she might need to be admitted.

Thank goodness that the suppository worked on her. Vomit spell was controlled. But she came with a few times of diarrhea after came back from the clinic. She got low grade fever too. At the second night, she accident poop on her pant while sleeping. It was really messed up. We got to change the bedsheet, mattress cover and quilt cover. We put her on diaper for 1 night though she had ditched the diapers long ago.

The virus could be easily transmitted and doctor reminded us to wash hands frequently. We tried our best to separate the two kids as well. I am glad that no one else from house get the virus from Yan Yan.

She skipped school and rested at home for 3 days. She was weak on the first 2 days. On day 3 only I could see she gets better and better and get back to her own self.

Medicine for Yan Yan. She didn;t really want the probiotics and the oral rehydration salt water.

I got this from the clinic. Can you see the statement ' almost every child will get infected with rotavirus at the age 5'!! Have you get your kids protected with rotavirus vaccine??

And this was for Heng Heng. From the medication in the picture above, can you guess what was wrong to him?? I will blog about it in my next post.
