Sickie in the House

I think the Big Man up there is teaching me a lesson. That I should really slow down. I was rushing some work, been rushing for a week; I have to admit I spent less time with Klaire hoping to earn more. Now she’s sick. I am just glad it is nothing serious.

Yesterday, I felt it. Call it mother’s instinct because I felt it to be true. K was less cheerful yesterday and was clingy. She was hot to my touch but when we checked her temperature, it was normal. Ane even told me that maybe it was the weather. I even took a break from work and we met my mom for dinner. I was insisting that K was hot to my touch but again the thermometer proved it otherwise. To Ane, my mom and brother, she felt normal too.

Klaire’s temperature reached 38C around 1am. She was mumbling in her sleep. She asked for milk and fell asleep in my arms. Then just before or after 5am, her temperature was already 39C! I had to wake up Ane to help me administer Paracetamol. Klaire threw that up. I also wiped her with cold washcloth.

Today, I decided to just take care of her. She’s currently napping so I took the chance to blog a bit. Her temperature did not reach 38C again and I’m thankful she’s keeping down the med even if we have to wrestle her into taking it.

I hope things are better tomorrow.
