Hubby : Dear, if there is a vaccine that can prevent HFMD forever, will you let the kids take it?
Me : No, I won't. Because there are so many variants, no point get them vaccined.
Hubby : If there is a vaccine that cover all variants of HFMD, will you let them?
Me : Yes!! If only they can confirm 100%.
Last week was extremely tough. Jie Jie was running a fever, and few days later she complaint of "mouth pain" and then she refused to eat or drink. We forced her and when we looked at the way she gobbled the food down the throat, our heart sank. We felt it was a nasty sore throat. The next day, Di Di started to feel warm. And his temperature at night spiked up to 39. I sponged him, gave him paracetamol and off he went to sleep. The next morning, we brought them to Prince Court and thankfully, we were scheduled the third in queue even though we were quite last minute, no appointment made. We get to see the Dr and he said he saw few ulcers in the throat. Same goes for Daniel. In conclusion, it was the nasty HFMD again! Sighhhh............ We experienced it before and we knew how tough it was for the kids to get infected with this horrible disease.
We went home, struggled with both crying super cranky super demanding kids, trying our best to get them fed with water/milk/food/medicine. We all struggled. I cried. It was tough. Super tough on them. This disease is indeed a monster. Daniel woke up middle of the night, crying and struggling because the dryness + ulcers on the throat irritated him. He didn't swallow his saliva because it was painful for him to do so, so he has been drooling all over the mattress, his shirt, the floor.. and everywhere. And you wouldn't believe me how many thousand times I changed his shirt, napkins and bedsheets as he vomited every now and then, especially after feed. Poor baby. Jie Jie dealt with this much better, she only fussed when we wanted her to take a sip of water/milk/food.
The next day, I woke up feeling feverish. Not again! It was tough when you are sick and when both kids are sick. So, who's gonna take care both of them. Hubby is busy with work + MBA thesis. Tough Tough!
But... we all survived!!
It's all by His Grace!
And we are all now on the road of recovery.. The kids are healed, they eat like normal now (Thank God) and now I'm waiting for my ulcers to heal.
All is well!
