Geraldine is Sick...

Yes...Gwendolyn's just recovered from her fever and then it's Geraldine's turn...not contracted from Lyn Lyn though, as neither of them met each other yesterday...Geraldine didn't sleep well and asked for milk at around 2:30am...Mama fed her and she went back to sleep. Not long after that, at around 4:30am, she started crying...no matter how Mama carried her, gave her water or milk, pat and pacify her...nothing worked. Papa was with Lyn Lyn (since her fever has just subsided), came over and see what happened to this poor baby...she kept making some repeated sound, as if telling Papa and Mama that she's not feeling well. Papa measured her temperature, but it was hovering around 37.5 and 37.8...not really at a feverish state. Papa and Mama took turns to carry and comforted her until Uncle John's clinic opens at 8:00am. Once Mama managed to contact him, off we went!

Poor baby...all teary and not feeling well...

This is how the mutterings sound like

On the way to Uncle John's clinic, Geraldine was such a good baby and stopped crying, as if she knew that Papa and Mama were bringing her to see a doctor to relieve her pain. Once Papa's car stopped at the traffic lights, she started making noise again...as if wondering what's happening to the car, aren't we supposed to go to the doctor? Once the car started moving again, she stopped making any noise. Truly amazing! When we reached the clinic, she let Uncle John examined her...Uncle John checked her mouth (in case she's teething), checked her temperature (not really feverish, in case she has viral fever like Lyn Lyn), checked her tummy (with a lot of wind...that may be the cause of her discomfort)...Papa and Mama collected the medicine and brought her home. Before going to the doctor, she refused to drink any milk or water. However, after we're back from the doctor, she was such a darling and finished her milk before Papa and Mama fed her medicine. Though this was her first time taking medicine and from a syringe, she was such a good baby and finished her 2ml worth of colomix to relief her stomach wind! Thank goodness, she was so much better and poo-ed twice after that...with constant burping and farting to release rge excess wind!

Feeling restless...feeling terrible to sleep alone...required to be carried to have a good rest!

Since her temperature was hovering around the pre-fever stage, Papa and Mama decided to give her some panadol to bring her temperature down to normal...Ooooopz, not sure whether her stomach was too full after finishing her milk, she threw up everything and ended up being a dirty and stinky baby...immediately, Mama bathed her and washed her up...

Seated at the sink, waiting to be washed! (Sad to say...she looked so cute even when not feeling well...)

After washing up, she was feeling much better...well, at least, she's stopped all the muttering sounds and was drinking milk and water...What another hectic day for Papa and Mama...only after Geraldine fell asleep after her night bath and able to sleep in her baby cot, that Papa and Mama can have a sigh of relief. Luckily, that's the first encounter of her feeling unwell...and she was all well after that, sleeping through the night after a feed at 12 mid-night with no further medication administered! Phew......
