It's been almost 2 weeks since my last entry. I haven't had the strength or the time to write because our family had been nursing successive flu infections. First T, then me, then T again and finally Mountain Man.
T got hit the worst because he got 2 different infections. The 2nd one was extremely potent because it also gave him a fever. The flu wiped out his appetite completely, at times he ate less than 30ml per feed. He has also lost all sense of routine because he keeps falling asleep every other hour. To make matters worse, he also suffered from a febrile seizure - his back was arched and his eyes were rolled backwards for a good 30 seconds, it really scared the shits out of us.
And as if the flu weren't enough, my nanny also had to leave because her mother has cancer. So to sum it up, it's been the most horrible 2 weeks.
Now i must attempt at introducing some semblance of a routine back into T's life. I need God's superhuman strength!

Thank God, you guys are up and well again. Do take care.
That's a rough two weeks! Hope everyone's fine now. Routine-wise, I think T will gradually adjust back, or maybe dictate a whole new routine altogether, so don't be too hard on yourself. Take care, babe!
oh dear :( It must have been really really awful for the all of you! Take good care. I'm sure T will be back to a good routine again soon. Hugs
Must be scary to watch your child having febrile seizure.

Judebabe> Yes it.was.freaking.scary. I felt so helpless.
Jie> Dr said tht febrile seizure is relatively normal. Just keep his temperature down and roll him over to the side to prevent choking. I didn't know all that until after it happened.
Angie> Shannon also had? Wht do u mean be careful?
