Fever, fever go away...

As a mom, I may not have black and white job description like what I used to have at the corporate world. But one thing I'm sure of I wanted to protect my little china doll from sickness, harm and pain.

My little china doll is never sickly when she's younger. But when she reached the toddler stage, my dilemma as a mom started. Last Feb 23, little china doll was confined at SLMC QC for 5 days due to boil. I haven't heard anyone who was confined due to boil. I knew there was something wrong. I even questioned my ways in handling my daughter and where did I go wrong during those times. I really can't imagine that we stayed 5 long days at the hospital due to boil.


But my dilemma did not end there. 3 weeks after recovery, we need to go back to her pedia because of stile on her eye. It was similar to her boil incident with almost same location. Boil was between her eyes while stile was on her left eye. I started to conclude that little china doll is prone to these types of infection. "S'ya na ang pigsain." 



After 2 months being perfectly healthy, L is sick again my poor baby. She has a fever since Monday, May 13. The pedia is also checking where the infection came from because she has no cough, no colds, stool is clear and she's still "makulit at malikot." Right now, I was advised to monitor her fever. I was also advised that it can be Roseala. It's a measles which is very common to infants and toddlers. What are the symptoms of Roseala? 3 days on and off fever and on 4th day, the rashes will appear and spread on the entire body. But if the fever will persist, it's something else.

I'm praying and hoping that her temperature will subside. If only I can take away her illness, I would. But I know, I can only protect her as much.

Be well my little china doll.
