HFMD - Scary Episode

Mummy Version's of HFMD:

7-Dec Wednesday

We were at my mum's place having advanced birthday celebration and eating n enjoying the foods
It started with Gabriel having rashes on his feet, legs and palm and also the arms...
I was abit worried and wonder what has caused it, could it be my parents' place not so clean, that made G's sensitive skin to outbreak?

After a bath at my mum place, his rashes subsided abit... So we shrug off the idea of HFMD
The same night, we could feel Gabriel having mild grade fever...


8-Dec Thursday

MIL ask Caleb not to come since Gabriel was having fever and rashes... Heard that Caleb having some super big insect bites on his legs on Wednesday too which looks like blister
I was also down with high fever, vomiting and diarrohea, MC and resting at SK..

With help of MIL and FIL who went to help us Q up at ABC clinic, we managed to get a number 6!! I was so sick and luckily FIL went up to fetch me with Raphael(so happy to see me)
By the time i reach HG, Gabriel was down with 38.3 fever, me on a lighter note, 38.6!! haha
We went to see doctor and Dr Anthony check and say it may be viral fever and viral rash as he couldnt see any ulcers in Gabriel throat.
But there is 1 ulcer in Gabriel mouth and he give us medicine to apply, telling us that in next 3-4 days if blister appear, may be HFMD

09-Dec Friday

Gabriel fever subsided but rashes still there and i notice 2 more ulcers coming up, total 3ulcers...Appetite for milk drops but loves to take yogurt and pear puree, so let it be

10-Dec Saturday

Caleb confirmed HFMD with blisters... Followed by Ian and Yvette :(
We were thinking Gabriel may be spared as according to doc, no ulcers in throat, no blisters....So we thought...our kids be ok
Who knows....


11-Dec Sunday

We called up ICR and told the teacher that Raphael not going to school as we are worried he may get HFMD... so we skipped this class
By evening, Raphael started having fever and vomitted.... I started to worry liao...rashes also appear... *heart sank*


12-Dec Monday

He was very sick, with high fever, keep crying, cant eat anything... alot of rashes .... Mil and Fil again help us to take Q number at ABC clinic.
Today, it was Daddy's turn to feel sick, same symptom as what i undergo, high fever, vomit and lao sai....

Confirmed Raphael HFMD, throat full of ulcers...one look, confirmed....given tons of medicine and spend $170!!!

13-Dec Tuesday

Worst hit! High fever,ulcers multiply and I lost track of his ulcers..he was very very cranky and in pain..cry and cry and ask me not to work..
Feeling bad I explain to boss i really need to take Urgent leave... haiz

Spend the day with him and take care of him... he couldnt talk much, let alone drink water...had to think of all ways to make him drink..
mouth super smelly and he slimmed down alot...really alot... at least by 1+kg... From 22.5 to 21kg

By evening he was cranky again...super cry baby....(oh...all these while, Gabriel seems to have recovered...Rashes gone...)

14-Dec Wednesday

Mil make ling yang and feeded him... seems to improved his condition and Ye ye is able to make him drink medicine without any struggle!!
Fever gone, left with ulcers... at least 50 hor!!!! Can u imagine the pain of us having 1 ulcers already so pain...LET ALONE 50!!! shit man


15-Dec Thursday
