Lil Shauna is still sick but seems to be recovering. Her food intake was reduced to 50% on Thursday and she barely ate any solid food yday. She didnt want her milk and when she finally asked for milk, she didnt finish half. We didnt force her to eat but make sure that she had lots of water.
Her fever was still very much persistant yday. Seeing how she vomited her antibiotics on Thursday evening, I took half a day of urgent leave on Friday morning. I was worried that M cannot handle Lil Shauna and was unable to feed her medicine. On Thursday night, I managed to feed 2 doses of antibiotic to the half awake but otherwise very cooperative Lil Shauna. Phew. The whole night, I was waking her every other hour to either take her fever medicine or antibiotics. Poor baby.
Yday was bad. She was probably still feeling very uncomfortable and was very clingy. Everything must be mummy, including taking tissue paper from the tissue box. -.o" If auntie or ah mah was to do it on mummy's behalf, she will start fussing, whinning, crying, until mummy re-do the tasks. -.o" She totally reject ah mah and auntie. Nobody is to come near her except mummy and mummy is to stick to her everywhere she goes. I seriously think that her crying sensor was spoilt yday. She will start crying the moment I am 10cm away from her. It was bad and very tiring from all the physical carrying, the coaxing to make her eat her medicine or to drink water and the giving in to her unreasonable demands. I was actually looking forward to coming back to work and away from Lil Shauna in the afternoon. But before I could escape, she woke up coughing from her nap, screaming for mummy and rejecting ah mah until she vomited. I had to extend my leave.
By night time, we were exhausted and she too was tired and uncomfortable and cranky and decided to give us a final show-down. She made unreasonable demands, refused to take "no" for an answer and wouldnt stop crying when she cannot have her way. I think she was just very tired cos when she finally stopped, she fell asleep barely 5 mins after I put her down on the bed. -_____________-"
Her fever seems to either go away or mild the whole night. I didnt have to feed her the fever medicine. She cooperatively took her 2 doses of antibiotics in the night. After the 2nd dose, she even told me that the medicine is "smelly, smelly". I duno to laugh or to cry.
I am back at work today. I already instructed M to feed Lil Shauna her flu and cough medicine, which should be quite alright. Those are sweet and she likes them (when not in a bad mood). I am just worried about the fever medicine. Luckily, ah yee is home today. Then, it will be war again when I return home to feed her the remaining 2 doses of antibiotics.
My mum was commenting about how M was super hardworking in doing the household chores yday and trying hard to keep her distance from Lil Shauna. Hahaha. M even asked me in the evening if Lil Shauna is always that difficult when she is sick. I think she is scare of the princess. ;p
Jia you, jia you. The little pincess is recovering. And we have to prepare for her to remain cranky for another few days after she has recovered like she usually is after a big illness.
