1st time having fever

Evangeline is now a toddler! No longer a baby... From this month onwards, we believe we'll get more and more surprises from Eve. She has just recovered from a butt of fever last week. We do not know why suddenly she had fever! She just woke up in the morning & body felt hot! We got to monitor her every now and then, sponge her, insert medicine (bullet) in her butt, alternate her with baby panadol & ibuprofen every 3 - 4hrs, put the cool pad on her forehead (which she dislikes very much). When it comes to night time, we have to be extra cautious. This is because her fever usually climb up very high during night time. 

Gosh, it was the 1st time she had fever, highest at 39.5deg. I was pretty worried because I have a friend whose son had high fever at toddler age til his brain were practically burnt! Now, her son is slightly mild retarded! This story has caused a great fear in me! Therefore, I'm very careful whenever she has fever. For babies, it's better to handle the illness fast than to drag so as to avoid any future inconvenience & health of the child!

Well, Evangeline has recovered from her fever within 4days. This has led her to 9.2KG instead of 9.6KG. Nevermind, we believe she'll pick up again real fast.

Be healthy again!!! ;)
