Yesterday I was on leave to stay at home to take care my gal. She was having light fever on Monday and mother in law gave her medicine once in the morning and I gave her Reserve fruit gel in the evening. Before sleep time, she has feverish again and I gave her paracetamol suspension once again. In the midnight, we woke up several times to monitor her temperature and ended up I have to take leave because of tiredness. Great thing was, she had no more fever the whole day and no more medicine to be given. I kept monitoring her the whole day, gave her sufficient fluids, fruits and Reserve fruit gel. As informed by hubby just now, my gal woke up at 9.40am this morning and she fully recovered.

This morning, I woke up at 4am before alarm setting @ 4.30am. I checked my gal's body temperature and she was fine. I changed her diaper as she drank lots of water; to let her have drier and comfortable feeling and able to sleep longer.

I finished cooking at 6.30am and went back to bedroom. I laid beside my gal and she held my arm to keep me closed to her. I placed a fresh koolfever on her forehead to make sure the fever to leave completely. I got up from bed around 7am and prepared myself to go to work.
