Princess' having fever...

Renee has made a 'sleeping pact' with us(more like her request hahaha) and that is she'll sleep with us on our bed on alternate nights. Last night being the night she's sleeping with us, her body had felt kinda 'hot' when I got in to sleep with her, at around 2am. It hadn't crossed my mind to take her temperature and perhaps administer some medical aid, alamak!

This morning, she indeed woke up with a fever(temp ard 37+ to 38 - different readings). I've had an appointment with the nail salon and I quickly prepared her lunch before heading there.

By the time I got home with our packed lunch, her fever has shot up to over 39degrees and I chided daddy for not monitoring her closely and he looked guilty... She didn't want to take her 2nd dose of paracetemol and as I'm also not sure if the time gap's ok for her to be given the Ibuprofen, I just put a patch for her and let her go for her nap.

As daddy's appointment's not til later, I told him to stay with her whilst I rushed to get something from Compass Point. She's already awake when I got back and asked again, to go to 'Fuo Tang'. So, we brought her there. After daddy's dropped both of us off, she said "I'm going to miss papa tonight..." and shortly after, she asked me to phone him(and he must be 'sim tia' as he just phoned to say that he's on his way home liao, hahaha).

She's still pretty 'active' and even asked me to cook both cai sim and brocolli for dinner hahaha, but the fever must have made her feeling lethargic 'cos she's sleeping now, on the floor, as I'm typing this post...
