The Must-Fall-Sick Rule

Somehow, there seems to be an unspoken rule that somebody must fall sick before we go on an holiday. -__________-"

We are gg to Hkg on coming Wednesday and Lil Shauna has got sore eye from my SIL. I duno to cry or laugh. Haiz.. So Lil Shauna's left eye is teary, clouded with discharge, red and swollen. Today is the 4th day. The doctor says that it will take at least 5 days to clear and we must try to prevent spreading to the other eye. She was given some eye drop and oilment that contains antibiotics.

Lil Shauna is obviously uncomfortable. She hates it when we tried to clean her eye, unless the discharge and tearing gets too bad and she will actually ask me to clean her eye for her. Poor baby. She can actually tell me "eye pain, pain". Although she points to the wrong eye at times lah. And the eye infection actually comes with fever! She has been battling fever for the last 2 days, leaving her super cranky. Last night, her fever hit 39 degrees. She's still nursing a mild fever now.

And the 2 jiejies? They are leaking green mucus! Arrggghhhhh.. How come I got the feeling that they will soon pass the flu virus to Lil Shauna? Why is she always at the receiving end? Not only from the kids but even from the adults? OK, I am angry, I need to cool down. It just happened anyway.

I can only take comfort that Dharen is coming. Yes, Lil Shauna will still fall sick to the viruses that she's exposed to at school, but at least she doesnt need to face more viruses at home next time. Hmpffff...

Pls pray for speedy recovery and that Lil Shauna will not get the flu virus from the jiejies.
