HFM

Nope, I am not saying any FM stereo....

Last Saturday, Jien did not eat well. His appetite was so bad that he only took in less than 5 mouthful of rice. And later, we found out that he got fever and the fever went on the next day and he had to be coaxed on to drink his medicine. We did not suspect anything but sore throat. All he wanted was his milk (thank goodness he still wants it!)

His appetite was still bad but he did had a few bites. He drank his favourite soup but only halved the portion the normally drinks. At night, I noticed some tiny red dots on his feet and a few dots on his palm. Could it be ants? Oh, yes, we have ants problem in the house!! The red and also the black type. But it can't be so many dots eh? Though his fever had subsided a lot, we decided not to take any chances. We headed straight to the emergency ward in Pantai Hospital. The UTI incident haunts us still.

Oh, yes. My boy hates hospital. He knew it when it was his turn. All he was bagging for was ' Let's go home!! ' Sigh...the doctor did nothing to him, just the normal stethoscoping and looking at his mouth with a light and he was struggling like hell!! :(


He was confirmed contracted the HFM disease. Doctor said just rest and monitor his fever. Plenty of rest and fluid. That's it. That's it? No cream, no medicine?? Just, that's it? Oh well, good also la, it is hell feeding my boy medicine anyway.

We have no idea where he caught the disease. The park? The mall? We washed him everytime he gets home. Or could it be at the Fab** Mom showroom that we went on Sat? We did not washed him immediately as he was asleep then....ahhhh!!!

I am just thankful that it was not actually that bad. He is still the active and cheerful him with normal temperature this morning coupled with a bit of minor rashes. Just pray that this is it la.
