Getting better

First, update on Grace's condition. After the doctor visit on Tuesday, though taken the medicine, Grace was still having high fever during the night. The fever seems to go up and down and does not stay down long. On Wednesday morning, she seems to have improved and was quite active playing with her grandparents (my parents and hubby's mom). Daddy was on half day leave to help take care of Grace while zombie mummy could steal some time to rest and make some really urgent payment.

Then during the evening, when I was about to feed her with macaroni, I tested her temperature and was in was a big shock. 38.9 degree Celsius! Oh my! How could it be so high? Temp again, and this time 39 degree Celsius. Both hubby and I got panic and decided to bring her to the clinic again. Yes, back to the panel clinic that we went on Tuesday. This time a different doctor. But when he checked, it was only 38.1 degree Celsius. So we asked why such a big difference. He gave us a vague answer and we were not satisfied. He ended up testing again using our thermometer (yes, I brought it along) and another thermometer of his (which is using Infrared technology). All 3 (including the first one) gave us different result, ranging from 38.1 degree to 39 degree. All tested about the same time. He did a further check on Grace and says nothing serious.

While on the back, hubby and I discuss and thought we should take a second opinion. Better be "kiasu" than risking Grace to high fever. So when headed to a children specialist clinic. And this time we were assured and was advised accordingly. The doctor even found that Grace is having throat infection (which in the first place caused the fever), which the previous doctor did not mention. The doctor gave antibiotics (he mentioned that it's already the 2 second day and she's still having high fever, so no choice). Ok, the parents are happy and relief now. What about the little girl?

Well, Grace was very very happy to go to the specialist clinic. Why? First, while waiting, she gets to play at the mini indoor playground and second, the doctor gave her not 1 but 2 tablets of vitamin C. Till today, she's still mentioning that the doctor gave her vitamin C.

So how's Grace now? This morning, she woke up with no fever but still a little of cough and running nose. Very active as usual, ride on my back (like I'm a horse) for many, and I mean many times. Well, guess she's recovering fast.
