Stomach Flu

This is the 1st time Shannen contacted this illness, Stomach Flu. Thanks to those inconsiderate parents who insist to bring their sick child to the school. Ended up some teachers and lots of children caught the "flu". Shannen had been vomiting since Thursday night. We had to change the bed sheets 3 times. For the last time when she wanted to vomit around 2am, we were quick enough to bring her to the toilet to throw out. Poor darling.

Mummy manage to make an appointment for Shannen to see Dr. Lilian from Kids Clinic. The nurse called me around 10.30am and asked me to slowly make our way down to the clinic. Elson had to come back to fetch us to the clinic half way through his works. After examining, it's confirmed that Shannen caught the stomach flu virus. Dr. Lilian inserted the anti-vomit bullet for Shannen and she was only allow to drink diluted milk, barley water, glucose water or boiled rice water @ 12pm. After which, no drink, no foods for her until 5pm. Could see how weak Shannen was. I was so scared of the vomiting drama and decided to lay the mattress on the floor to company her.

Shannen woke up around 5pm and asked for foods. So we gave her bread with a small amount of kaya & butter. Gave her the anti-vomit oral medicine this time and she was able to swallow without vomiting. Gave her some glucose drink around 8pm and she went to bed again. he next day was better. Shannen was able to eat some porridge & bread with packet milk. She only had diarrhea once in the afternoon and vomited once in the night time after I made her drink 180ml of milk.

On Sunday, she was hopping around. Gave her some butter cookies with packet milk for breakfast. She was also able to finish the whole big bowl of chicken porridge in noon time. Gave her some glucose drink around 1pm. At night, she had a KFC thigh all by herself. We skip the night feed cos Elson prepared bake potato for us as supper. Lolz.....
