Bye bye virus!

Our little princess had a great night's sleep on Saturday and woke up the next day feeling refreshed and more cheerful.

She was in the mood to wave hi and bye to the nurses and doctors. She even gave Dr Jacqueline a kiss, after Doctor announced that she is well enough to go home.

While waiting for the nurses to prepare for her discharge, Daddy brought Tessa to the playground.

At around 3.30pm, we were all ready to go home!

Bye bye for good, we won't be back again!

Boohoohoo!!!

I have never seen my precious one cried so much since birth. This nasty viral fever must have caused so much discomfort to her. She is cranky and almost non-consolable.

As a result, Mommy & Grandma became panda bears.

On Saturday early morning around 2am, the doctor on duty decided to put the little one on drip because she was truly dehydrated.

Her poor little right hand was all bandaged up so that she won't hurt herself when she moved around.

The drip actually did do her good. Her fever subsided and she was able to sleep better.

Our little princess woke up feeling more refreshed, energized and cheerful.

Down with Viral Fever

Our little girl was hit by the nasty virus!!!!

The nasty virus caused high fever that hoovered around 37 and 39.6 degrees. Her fever started last Thursday morning. In the afternoon, Gongong and Mah-mah brought her to the doctor who prescribed fever medicine. But the medicine didn't help.

Late night, we received a call that she was burning hot and we rushed down to send her to NUH Children Emergency. Her temperature was 39.3. The doctor wanted to rule out urine infection but we failed to make her pee enough to do the urine dipstick test. Therefore, the doctor decided to send us back home, and for her to return in the afternoon to the specialist clinic to be followed up.

We returned to NUH Clinic A on Friday afternoon. Her fever was 39.4 and she was obviously dehydrated as a result of the fever. She has not drunk any milk the whole day. The doctor advised us to get her admitted so that they can put her on a drip if necessary.

So, we checked into NUH Ward 46 Room 5 at around 4pm.

Long time no hear

It's been quite a while since I last post updates on the little one.

She is really growing up fast. Now she can stand on her own really well. Not sure when she'll take her first step.

She has also learnt to wave bye-bye and will give you a smooch (or smooches when she's in a good mood) when you ask. It's been a delight to wake up in the morning to her smooching away at me.

She has also learnt to dance in her own amusing style. Very entertaining. I will find a chance to video it down.

I promise I will try to find time to upload new photos soon.
