kids down... with HFMD

aren't we lucky to have BOTH kids down with HFMD this week.

it started early last week when gaby had his fever; which we all concluded it was due to his teething. and later that week, he developed rashes (which was normal post-fever) which turned ugly; with big red spots that looked very much like chicken-pox but without the fuild-filled blisters.




chloe started vomitting early saturday morning but was ok thereafter, continued playing and eating well. but by early afternoon, her fever kicked in and hit a high of 38.2C and was given ibuprofen and rested.

yes, this was how she rested... just look at her towkay neo legs! :p


anyway, her fever continued to climb and she was getting cranky and coughing. we then rushed both kids to KKH for a thorough check and was later diagnosed by the MD as having contracted HFMD.

what puzzled us was the source that infected our stay-at-home son; who later passed on the virus to chloe.

anyway, with both kids down with HFMD, i'm sure the house will be super-rowdy this week. but on a brighter side, gaby will enjoy having his sister around during the day as he gets to disturb play with her instead of just watching tv or play by himself! and for chloe, apart from not being able to see her friends at childcare, she gets her chance to wear her PJs till late morning and play masak-masak with her new kitchen set toys.
