Mommy's got bronchitis II

For those whom were concerned, Im finally better :) Thanks...

After my last post on Tuesday, I went to take a nap on the sofa whilst waiting for our dearest daughter to be home but the minute they got back, I woke up trembling... Nevertheless, I attended to her needs. Afterall, the minute she saw me at home, she kept on calling me excitedly like she's not seen me for a long time and she even asked : "mommy, what happened to you? Are you ok?" That alone, could make any sick mommy feel 'strong' enough :)
A short while after her nap the same day, I took the rest of the medication and when its effect took place, I took a short nap too. However, despite my alarm setting, I simply couldn't bring myself to open my eyes and finally ard 5:45pm, she insisted and I dragged myself up to cook her porridge. I had thought perhaps I'm already on the road to recovery but I was sooo wrong!
I was wondering if I shld wait for daddy's return to shower her but he'd mentioned that he'll be late so I decided to take the risk and shower her. After her shower, I had a feeling that perhaps I should take one myself but I thought I could wait till daddy's home so in case anything Renee needs, he'd be around to assist.
That was a mistake! At ard 7:15pm, I began to feel uneasy and shortwhile later, I began to shiver. The trembling was like the time when I had blocked milk ducts and it was terrible! I told Renee that I needed to go in to lie down but she said no, so I tried to stay with her but minutes later, I couldn't take it anymore and told her I really needed to lie down and I went in.
A short while later, she came to join me. Fearing that I might pass the germs to her, I quickly told her to go out and watch the TV programme but she told me that she's switched off the TV already. I have no strength to insist so I told her to stay as far from me as possible. However, the more I try to stay away from her, the more she wanted to get close to me... Each time she tried to lie down on my arms or near my chest, I'll have to muster all my strength to push her further away. She looked confused whenever I did that, so I had to gather whatever strength there is left in me to keep explaining to her each time that I'm really very sick and I'm doing that so she won't be ill. Finally she took it and lie down on daddy's pillow, back facing me...
At ard 8pm, she started crying and asked why daddy's not home yet... :( I suddenly remembered the Dora live show I've recorded on my mobile and put it on for her to watch to distract her unease.

However, my hp batt went low and we both 'tong' till 8:30pm when I asked her to pass me the hp and I text daddy : 'can you please come home now'. He called back immediately and said that he's already on his way back and asked what happened. I just told him that I was feeling lousy and his girl's fussing abit. He said that he'll be back after he's got his dinner.
He came home w/out his dinner though... Poor thing and straight away, Renee asked for milk! She had been asking me for her milk since I went to lie down and she had only just had her dinner not too long ago!
Daddy made her the milk and went on to make me the milo that I've requested. Then he make himself some butter + kaya bread to eat. He even helped to boil water and wash up Renee's bottle. Hmm, I shld hv left her laundry for him to do :)

On Wednesday, I still wasn't feeling any much better. I woke up feeling nausea and was still trembling. So daddy offered to pick Renee up from school again. This time, daddy told me when they were home that, Renee cried for me when she saw him :D
This time, I managed to ask daddy before he left if he'd be late again and his reply was "yes, very late". I daren't protest though I was afraid that the same episode might surface again so that evening, after I've cooked her dinner, I decided to take my shower right after Renee's had hers. However, when daddy finally replied to my earlier sms to him asking how late he'd be, it was "Not going, on the way back" haiz. Phew, I felt relieved...
I still didn't feel well in the evening and I began to wonder if it's due to any of the medications. Suggested to daddy that perhaps I should give the clinic a call to find out and I'm glad I did, 'cos it was, indeed! It's the 'salbutamol' - one that's prescribed to clear phlegm and its side effects would be trembling and nausea and I'm told to stop taking it and come back for the doctor to see me if the effects are still showing after I've stopped.
Daddy then reminded me that I'd have to send Renee to school the next day as he'd have to go 'clean up' his late mother's and perhaps his late uncle's tombs(Qing Ming Festival). Due to the sickness, I've totally forgotten abt it and being reminded, I began to wonder if I'd be up to it - told him that Renee will stay home if I can't and he agreed.

Yesterday, I did feel a little better(and the bitter metalic taste had also gone down alot) and I was thinking perhaps I could even fetch Renee home and daddy wldn't hv to rush here n there. Renee was very happy when she learnt that I'm bringing her to school and whilst we're in the LRT train, she kept telling me excitedly to look at objects that past by and even said "mommy, it's nice to take train". hahaha For all we know she'll b complaining about being tired in no time :)
Then in the MRT train, she told me she's tired and wanted to lie down - there! I guess it was due to her overwhelming excitement :) She went to lie on my lap and closed her eyes. Of cos, she didn't really fall asleep and seconds later, she opened her eyes and sit up :D
When we arrived at the school, there were already some kids queing for their temp to be taken/hands to be checked but Mrs Jacob was nowhere in sight. Seeing Mrs Magdalene Teo, the Principal(whom she wasn't familiar with), she suddenly clung on to me and refused for her temp to be taken. So Mrs Teo told me to wait with her there for a while. Thank goodness, Mrs Jacob appeared on time and took Renee's hand and told her that she'll take her temperature in the class :)
I felt a little breathless as I was walking towards the train station and it got worser when I was nearer to home. Luckily I'm near home already and the minute I got home, I quickly took my shower and tried to rest. Then I remembered and quickly text daddy a couple of times to make sure that he's really finishing soon and once he confirmed that he will be picking Renee up, then I tried to rest. BUT, just as I was about to doze off, daddy came back and I couldn't sleep anymore. So, I decided to rest and watch the SCV prog whilst waiting for Renee to be home.
The minute daddy brought her home, I teased her "oh did you cry today?" and she nodded. Daddy, smiling widely behind her then told me that when he went to fetch her, he saw her standing at the classroom door looking around for me but when she caught sight of him waving at her, she cried and frm her mouth movement he can see that she was crying "Where's my mommy?" hahaha.
Oh gosh, she's just one tender little girl that needs my constant hugs and kisses :D
