I Am Unwell

I have been unwell since last Saturday. After waking up from my afternoon nap, I kept throwing up, emptying my stomach of everything, including water. I also refused to eat and was running a slight fever. It was late and on a Saturday, so D&M brought me to a GP clinic where I got some anti-vomit medicine. I was scared to see the doctor (trauma from the past?), and was trembling and Mummy could feel my galloping heart beat. Still I was brave and did not cry.

I have been sick now for a few days. The vommiting is not so severe now but I refuse to eat any food. I still drink water. I still have fever in the 38dC range, and my running nose mucus has turned yellow-green. So today, D&M brought me to the paed. I was crying refusing food/throwing up medicine when Daddy picked me up from my babysitter's.

Even though I'm sick, I am still quite active, and I had a great play time at the hospital waiting room when waiting to see Dr. I also ate toast bread that Daddy bought for me. When in Dr's clinic, I said "Are you (I) scared?", Mummy & Dr both said "No, you are brave". I think so too, I held steady and let doctor check me all over... while clinging on to Mummy. Doctor told D&M that my stomach is making a lot of noise, while my ears have early signs of redness and also in my throat. These signs are not conclusive to what I'm down with exactly but I need to take antibiotics and a bunch of other medicine for running nose, fever, anti-vomit.

Guess what, I gave my babysitter a very hard time today, refusing medicine even though being offered (or bribed?) with sweets, and also refusing to eat. But when I got home, I ate all my medicines without any fuss, and also ate some bread and rice with vege/meat. D&M thinks I'm being a bully at my babysitter's house, poor Ah Mah.

D&M are praying the fever will go away soon, if not I will need a blood test in a couple of days' time. I'm so skinny now! I hope to get well soon too!
