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.

Tessa with her KoolAid at Children's Emergency
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.
