Win SAHM, Lose SAHM

Following my Princess’ fever and discomforts, we had her seen by good ‘old Dr. Sablan last Tuesday.  Swollen gums and tonsilitis they were.  No wonder she would have difficulty when trying to ‘latch on’ to me and give out a pained cry whenever she tries to swallow.

Well she’s getting better now.   And another good thing is she likes the amoxicillin!  Yup, she found the drug somehow amusing to taste.  So there, no struggles there!  

I am definitely worn out!  Alyssa’s fever has caused her to be  a clingy, irritable toddler so i had no choice but to carry her all the time.  And that is, after all efforts to ‘persuade’ have failed.  Then husband’s on a very hectic sched at work, so no help there.

So here I am, at the end of my day as a SAHM (which ends by the way between 10 to 11 pm), blogging away to ease the bodyaches and ’shaky’ hands.   

She has got a 38.5 deg C fever last Sunday night.  Possible cause??? - - i don’t know!  She doesn’t have any cough or colds.  Could it be the MMR vaccine she’s had last Saturday afternoon?  But the doc said, ‘no fever, only rashes, if ever’ (which she didn’t get, TG!).  Well, a friend said, it could be viral - - her daughter had a 3-day fever too last week.  So we’re just giving her paracetamol syrup - - - which she ABHORS and spews out every time we give her.

Haaay, let just all pray she gets better by tomorrow.
