It could not be avoided. Well, at least not at childcare. Baby K has caught the bug and is sniffling as well as coughing. The day before, the VP of the centre called me at 1ish and told me baby K was having a slight temperature and requested that we pick her up. As the hubs was already out of his office and helping the Victor's, he picked her up from school and brought her to consult the GP, who diagnosed her symptom as the common cold and cough. Phew.

When the hubs sent her to the centre yesterday, the principal 'turned' them away and advised to have baby K rest at home. Apparently, there were a few other children who were having fever too. So, the hubs took the morning off while I took the afternoon off. 

Obviously we hope she recovers soon. Her breathing is heavy during sleep times and her nose is leaking. Last night, we woke up at 11ish and this morning at 4ish and then at 6am again, to either her cries, her need to go poo or just to go outside. Thankfully the hubs is a hands-on dad and makes an effort to go out to the living room with me, just so to accompany me. Needless to say, involvement by fathers make a BIG difference.

Thankfully, the centre allowed for her to attend school today and we have given them instructions on administering baby K's medication. She brought her dolly to school today. Hopefully, she finds comfort in that till I see her at the end of the working day.
