A Very Dramatic Day Part 1

It all started at 1am Saturday morning. I was awoken by Lil Shauna at the doorway, telling me miserably that she had "fell down". I thought she had rolled off/ fell from her bunk bed and asked if she had hurt herself. She then said that she had vomited. I panic a little, thinking that she had hurt her head/ concussion thus vomited. She clarified that she didn't fall, she simply threw up. 

Only when I went to her room, I was totally awoken by the sight. She vomited, a lot.....from her bunk bed onto the floor. The vomit then splashed everywhere with the impact. OK, tmi, I shall cut the description. I spent the next hour, wiping vomit, wiping floor and wall with floor cleaner and dettol. By the time Popo witnessed the crime scene, majority had been cleared up. So I had her complaining in the background non-stop and my blood boiling by the seconds. 

I was finally done at 2am. Lil Shauna was sent to sleep with Daddy Lim, who sleepily asked if she was OK. #thatiswhycelebrateMother'sday Her room, though cleaned, stunk so badly. Then I had Popo who insisted that she must wipe the floor, wall and door once more but with wet wipes and water. I must have some miraculously powerful water at home. I don't care anymore. 

I tried going to bed at 2am but was wide awake. It wasn't 3am that I went back to lala land. I was jolted awake at 5.37am for the 6am WWF ride. In a record time of 9 mins, I managed to get out of the house, cycled like mad and reached the start off point on time. 

I arrived home to a very lethargic Lil Shauna who was feverish. She complained of a tummy ache and I had assumed that she had a stomach-flu. She was tested -ve on the ART. She spent the afternoon lying in various locations and very low in energy. She didn't bother to even use her phone; she must be feeling really bad. 

While she rested at home, I brought Zaky to JP for lunch and arcade. She had initially wanted to tag along but changed her mind the last min bcos she was too tired. 

We bought home mushroom soup from soup spoon but Lil Shauna had zero appetite. She reluctantly took 5 spoonfuls before flopping on the sofa for the rest of the afternoon. 

In the evening, we wanted to go out for dinner. Lil Shauna wanted to tag along. I had thought that it would be good for her to get some fresh air. We got ready, got into the lift and the most traumatic lift ride of our life time.
