I've been out not for long (4days) but, I feel like I wasn't home for months! Alex was sick since Saturday. She had fever (38 above, but not over 39). And I've been taking good care of her. Hubby was also in full support! Thank you and Love you Hon. :)
We decided to bring Alex to the ER (Saturday night) at the hospital near our house, because even if she was taking paracetamol, she would still have high fever. Our first visit (yes, we were at the ER thrice!) told us that it was probably viral (since her blood tests told us that everything was normal), so we went home. Then around 4am, still fever was getting higher and higher! Hubby was beginning to get "praning", so we went again to the ER and told them we were willing to admit her in the hospital. But no rooms were available so we went to the other hospital (where her pedia really is - although a little far from our place). The resident there told us it's ok, she's probably having colds and cough and etc... So, we were quite relieved and again went home. Monday came and still no improvement so we went to her pedia and then she suggested that we stay in the hospital so they can monitor Alex. So, we agreed.
Well, after 3 days, results came out and they were ok (thank God!). After her fever, rashes were all over her face and some parts of the body. So, the Doctor said it was "Tipdas Hangin".
Haaay. Boy, we were scared. But now everyone is relieved and thankful. At least it wasn't the most feared - Dengue. And at least it wasn't that serious after all!
So, I'm back now. Back to my computer. Back to work. Back to blog-hopping. Back to blogging! :)

glad to hear alex is better now.
with high fever, all you need is a cold compress on her head, and wash her body with damp water to bring down the fever every hour or two.
I remember with my first born, I was always at the doctor's office too... hehehe... I guess first time parents are like that.
