Kayden is sick..

Was on childcare leave last 2 days to take care of my poor kiddo.
He was having fever for 2 consecutive days.

It all started with mild flu then lead to coughing and then fever.
His fever can go up to 39.3 degrees....sighz
Went to the doc and was told that we need to feed him the burofen & paracetamol alternately for 3 days. He had caught a bad cold. Sighz....must be gotten it at fidgets that day. Poor boy.
But my sis was telling me that there is flu virus in the air and lots of children are having the same symptons. Anyway, all mummies gonna be very careful with your child ya..

Today I'm back at work.
Kayden is now at inlaws place and recovering though there's still mild fever going on.
But i can tell u I was totally stressed out for that 2 days at home.
Luckily derrick was there with me on the 1st day.

Kayden was super duper cranky, grouchy, demanding, easily getting into crying mode, plus super clingy all the way.
This is my 1st time encountering all this and really didnt know that babies mood can change so drastically. Think he is so uncomfortable throughout that he is so clingy to me, think he needs some sense of security and comforting from someone, poor boy.

In the middle of the night, he will woke up crying and not getting back to sleep. Feeding him medicine was not a breeze too. Had to coax him and he will cry and keep shaking his head after tasting the yucky fluid.
I need to stop for a while and coax him again to finish up the medicine.
Boy, I was totally stressed out.
Till yesterday, he still wake up in the middle of the night and crying. So i gave him some water and put him co-sleeping with us on the bed. Pat him till he goes back to lalaland.

I hope this will stop soon...i want my loving, cheerful boy back...
