My weekend scare.
The husband is back from Macau. We picked him up from the airport last night. While he was away though, I had the scare of my life.
Read on.
Sophia was feverish when the husband left last Friday. I thought it was nothing serious as she was still active on our way to Pampanga after dropping the husband at the airport. Late afternoon though, the little girl’s temperature was 39.5 and she wasn’t her old self already whose very active and talkative. Although I give her tempra every 4 hours, her fever won’t go down so I called her pedia and told her that I am taking Sophia to the clinic the next day.
By 12 midnight, Sophia woke up and started crying. She was so hot!!! Her temperature was 40! She kept telling me her head is “ouchie” and she can’t breath. We gave her sponge bath and I was already in panic. This is the first time my daughter ever complained of something painful. You see, if you know my daugther, made of steel yun! She hardly complains of getting hurt etc so to hear her say that “ouchie” her head while crying, it is something. Knowing that the husband was not with us made me all the more emotional. I felt so alone even if we were in my mom’s house. I guess I’m really not used to not having Jon around. Its actually the first time he left the country without us with him which I doubt would happen again after this incident. We were ready to take Sophia to the hospital when suddenly her fever went down and she said that she feels a bit fine already and just take her in the hospital when its already morning. Wow, the beauty of a pre-schooler. She can really communicate well na unlike if baby pa, we have to guess what’s painful or not and bear with the non-stop crying without knowing whats wrong.
The next day, she was still not active while in the car and she even vomited as her fever went up to 39 again but I was a bit relaxed already as we were on the way to her pedia. When we arrived at the clinic, the pedia checked her and gave her medicines. She wasn’t advised to have a blood test yet though as it was just the second day of her fever. If her fever continues the next day, she will have to undergo blood test already. I was a bit relived though on the way home as she was suddenly active and was looking for sinigang! Hay, as soon as we got home, there she gobbled up on her pork sinigang and went to sleep. Hay, thank God.
Now, the husband while this was all happening was calling me on the cellphone non-stop. He was in panic like me. He can’t believe that his first ever attempt to have a short vacation with his friends abroad without us will turn to be a not so relaxed one. He wasn’t able to shop according to him and only got to buy an air conditioning compressor for a friend. So I doubt if it will ever happen again.
But guess what he got me.

hi jane!
okay na ba si sophia? no more fever? katakot talaga ngayon kasi hinde mo alam kung viral infection, uti or dengue dahil papalit-palit ang weather. malamang ako din matataranta talaga! i remember nung pumunta mark sa US last year dinala ko din ize sa ER kasi nagswell yung birdie nya. umiiyak na ako sa mommy ko nun hehehe. buti na lang malapit lang in-laws ko at pinagdrive kame. kasi sa sobrang panic ko baka mabangga ko pa yung car hehehe. do post update reg sophia’s condition.
sana tuloy tuloy ng bumaba fever nya. wawa naman

What caused the fever dear? Poor Kings! I hope Sophia’s all better now. I am sure you and your hubby have a lot of catchin’ up to do. Kahit my hubby goes on a business trip every week, I know the “missed you” feeling. What’s he got you now? Talaga naman!
Btw, I’ve got an award for you here: http://twinkiegolosino.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-green-award.html
