Fever fits

Last weekend, xuan had her second fever fit ( since she was born. )

She woke up crying at 3.30am on last sat, running a fever. She was also clutching her stomach, saying that her stomach is aching..

I had thought that she was hungry n gave her milk and then paracetemol. She went bk to sleep.

At 6am, i woke up and felt her forehead again and noticed that her fever did not went down. As she was asleep and another hr later, i could feed her paracetemol again, i went bk to sleep.

She woke up crying at 7am, this time waking the other two up. I made milk for 3 of them and work mr fat up too. I gave xuan lactofort and paracetemol after her feed.

When i came out from the bedroom, with their clothes, i realised something wrong. I saw both hands of xuan twitching as she laid on the bumper mat in between the other two gals. I saw her eyes starig straight and it was then i realised that she was having fever fit again.

As i blog about this, i still shudder at the experience..

I laid her on her side (correct) and inserted my finger into her clenched mouth (which was wrong!).

Soon she felt into deep sleep. We tried to wake her up. As we were on the way to kk hospital, she woke up n started crying. We heaved a sign of relief.

It turned out that she had stomach flu n this led to her having fever.

We learnt a lesson from this experience and if the kids have fever next time, we wld be more careful and mindful.
