My Rowie is sick
My poor Rowena is sick.
We went to Genting over the weekend as I had something on there. I was working most of the time – so the girls had to make do with daddy. I have been sick since last Wednesday and was really bad on Saturday. So eventually, Rowena got it. This is the first time, she really felt sick as she was so sad, just lied down and cried the whole time. It’s so hard seeing her this way, as she is normally such a happy child.
ON Sunday, we went up to the top, and she got worse. Her temperature shot up. She got tired being carried for long and wanted to sit down. But once we place in in the stroller, she is happier, then falls asleep.
At night, her temperature was high and she was shivering. Luckily, the Avent milk storage ice packs came in handy and I placed that on her forehead. She was in and out of sleep and just wanted her mummy! I was also so exhausted as my event in Genting involved abseiling. So I was sick, exhausted and lack of sleep!
The next morning the paed confirmed that Rowena had a bad throat infection and it was very red and was started on a dose of antibiotics (Augmentin). I stayed in with her while Harvynna was sent to the babysitters. After half a day with mummy, Rowena was a lot better and was almost like her usual self,. Now she is kind of skeptical with anything I feed her due to the chocolate trick. I offered her a biscuit and she shook her head profusely, saying ‘Gaje gaje gaje gaje’ and walked off.
She has lost so much of weight and her face looked so small. Her eyes were also swollen due to the excessive amount of crying.
Feel so sorry looking at her. She is much better today. The antibiotics have kicked in and she is more up and about. She gave me the usual greeting of excitement when I picked her up last night.
During the whole time she was sick, Rowena kept calling out for ‘Mama, mama’ - emm ma’ and comes to cuddle up with me.
Harvynna, on the other hand was really sweet. When we went to pick her up on Monday, she was so excited to see Rowena in the car. She said’Ooh Rowena you are here also. Are you feeling better? You poor baby!’ and gave her few big hugs!
