SQ: that's miser's fav phrase, never mine. mine is 'go see dr ong'.
anyway for yh's 'chickenpox'.. yesterday.. within 12 huors. from 6 pm - till 5.30am.. he poo-ed 5 times.. seemed like diarrheoa. but not like diarrheoa? haiz. coz amt not a lot.. and not pure watery.. at most like like twice with one hour (more like never 'clear' prperly). so i also dunno if diarrheoa or not! he has been biting his finers and anything he can get his mouth on. so i suspect he cld been teething and hence these loose stools. has been crying while biting .. someimes before passing stools, he will cry. think got wind. coz of ingestion of too much saliva?? v chim.. haiz
then still just one spot on his face.. it got smaller. never did break into blister.. SO. i really dunno if he has chicken pox! wah liew.. thi sis WORSE than him showing me outright has chicken pox.. have to 'wait'..for another 2 weeks.. omg.. then this morning .. he supposed to go for his urinary tract test (MCU) so later need to cancel. while arranging him to go see dr ong. (call before hand to reduce threat of infecting other pple).. all these re-arrangements.. v leicheh! haiz.
the other two kids.. the host's kid.. quite bad.. yesterday 4 days of fever.. v weak. can't drink properly.. having a bad cough, diarrheoa and the last i heard vommiting. more spots.. but not blisters also.. i think the kid already dehyrdrated.. parents say (yesterday) wait till today see pd.. i suggseted just bring to a n e get a IV to hydrate, no reply.. we see how lah..
the other kid.. her pd gave her the anti-viral.. to suppress the infection even though she had high fever and also just spots (accroding to her pd, non-conclusive).. the anti-viral is given for HIV patients also.. so apparently quite strong. suppresses immunity so she needs to stay at home and might strain the kidneys.. the reason why the PD went ahead with the heavy drug is because the mother (direct latching) never had chicken pox before.. so PD assumed the mother already kena liao and needs to make sure the girl dun have another exposure to an active infection ( assumed the mother gena) when she is recovering lest the girl has another reactivation or full blown chicken pox. v dangerous. v tricky since the girl refuses bottles.. and can only have bm..
the mother who 'spread' the virus. i counselled her. and she finally knows why others were shooting at her.. and why she has no reasons for being defensive.. she is sorry now. but she has to give other mothers time now for them to 'heal' from the trauma of seeing their bbs so sick.. haiz.. well if we need to learn from this. then we have to and we better make sure we do... :S
haiz. sian.
sry i sound like i am whining again, i know..
mist/ladies; it is quite safe to get the chicken pox vaccine coz the chances of getting chicken pox from the vaccine is 3 our of 21 billion doses given and even if gena. --> v mild nia..

mist: wld suggest u get it for xavier (?) now. lest he contracts it and pass it to small X.. complications on small X.. coz when they have high fever. fits (this one u have experience).. or get dehyrdated v v fast
so and ladies not yet chicken pox but plan to have more bbs.. PLS get urself vaccinated. coz it is v v dangerous if get in first tri or 7 days before delivery for the bb..
huingee: take care.. esther's sore throat.
RR: reyes's UTI.. take care also. monitor coz shd they have urinary reflux.. need to be on preventive antibiotics .. else will scar the kidneys..
the lit say .. bbs under 1 get chickenpox = v rate.. wah liew. the more i read. the more suay i feel i am this year leh.. middle ear infection, UTIs, and now possiblity of chicken pox? .. let me die.. ! argh.. *grumble grumble*
