Cagalli's Corner

Sorry for not posting sooner. Kalli has been sick and it was such a heart-breaking and scary experience for me, specially when her fever went up to 40 degrees celcius and her paracetamol didn't seem to be working much in bringing down her fever. She was so weak, red faced, with puffy watery eyes, it just broke my heart seeing her like that. Kalli, who was always strong and energetic - my energizer baby - couldn't even sit and play when she had the high fever. She just wanted to be carried by mommy all the time. She was so irritable, she didn't want to be carried by anyone else.

It all started with grandma, who had the nastiest cough and colds. Even though grandma kept away from Kalli, my baby still caught the virus :( And now even tita LA and mommy (me) have it! Anyhoo, Kalli really had it bad. We even brought her to the ER of Medical City one night when her fever was really high. She was taking paracetamol, ibuprofen and antibiotic that time to combat the sickness, and I was giving her sponge baths when her fever was high. Kawawa talaga baby ko :( It was fortunate one of my friends is a pediatrician and I was able to constantly ask for her advice (super thanks Rose!).

Anyhoo, now the fever's gone, but Kalli's still taking the antibiotics. Her doctor prescribed a new one since the first didn't seem to be working. She still has a nasty cough and it keeps her awake at night most of the time. But atleast she seems to be getting better everyday. She lost her appetite when she was so sick and until now she's not eating anything, except Marie biscuits and milk. She lost weight, which is sad :( I hope she'll get well soon.
