K's teacher called the hubs late Monday afternoon to inform him that her temperature was high. And he gave them the go-ahead to bathe her again. By the time he picked her up, it was almost like the usual time he would, only earlier by a bit. I met them at the clinic after work and we waited for the Dr to come in.

On hindsight, K was actually already running a fever on Sunday, when we returned home from church. When I was lying with her for our afternoon nap, she already felt hot but I decided to wait till later to decide. I thought it could be because of the hot weather that we've been getting. When she woke up, she complaint of a tummyache, leg pain and she did still feel hot. And she was whiny. We brought her down for a stroll, in her stroller, came home, gave her a dose of panadol and that was it.

Monday morning, she was fine so our regular routine started again. That was until the school called. K's temperature was around 38 degrees. No appetite, just like on Sunday but she claimed to have eaten in school. Dr felt her tummy and said it's likely constipation. K did not poo only since Sunday but well, since that's what the Dr says.

So I took the Tuesday off work. I allowed K to play in her tub, a hand-me-down which she never used as a baby, after her bathing her. While she was home with me, I still managed to get her to do some work and cooked lunch for the both of us. Pity her appetite is not completely back.

In the evening, she was talking to me while I was cooking and suddenly she said 'Mummy, nose bleed.' And there was quite a bit of blood. Not just a trickle. Thankfully as sudden as it came, it stopped as well. Still no poo after medicine and she was still running a temperature. We decided to go for a walk after dinner because the house was so hot and the 2 of us were kept in-doors the whole day. The hubs bought a papaya and some fruits. Thankfully, the poo made an appearance after K had some papaya.

So it was the hubs turn to take the day off, on Wednesday because the girl was still running a temperature. The whole day that they were at home, the hubs only got the girl to do 2 pages of Chinese writing. Faint. But the girl was a lot better by the evening.

And guess what happened next?! The 2 of them were playing after dinner and in the midst of 'escaping' from her daddy, K turned around trying to avoid the coffee table but hit the storage bench instead! 

Not only did she wail with blood oozing out from her lower lip, the hubs was almost wailing too! Aiyo. I had to stop him and immediately sprang into action. I got sugar and the girl, was so afraid of the pain, resisted us applying the sugar on her lips. So I had to say the tissue the hubs was holding was full of blood, and indeed it was, and needs to be changed. So swiftly, I dabbed the new tissue with sugar and the hubs applied it on her lips. It was quite a cut but thankfully, after the sugar and icing the area, the bleeding did stop. Phew.Praise God, we didn't have to visit the A&E.

This is truly an eventful week and it does not stop here. Sigh.
