Yes, Renee's skipping school today and it's partly my fault. I have thought that since she's recovering well, I had, over the past few days, relented to her not so mild requests to have some of my french fries and I even gave her baked ribs, ham, etc... without taking into account the hot weather, haiz...(she told me yesterday that school has given them cookies! and she din really drink her water, aiyoh!)
So last night, she was found to have a slight fever and for that, we have to stop her finishing TCM and gave her a dose of the paracetamol.
This morning, her fever hasn't subsided so I don't want her to go to school, though she might even pass through the 'gate test' with the forehead scanning thermometer(usually it show lower temp. that's how sick kids are being let in, I supposed) but for me, when the kid is sick, esp. fever, it's not just for the benefit of other kids, it is for her/his recovery that you let them stay at home.
Her meal(to be packed to school) was already in the midst of being cooked but I stopped the 'cooking' when the rice's cooked. Just gave her another dose of the paracetamol + a fresh patch on her forehead and she's sweating it out now. In any case, I will still let her stay home for the day as she'd be going over to her aunt's this evening when I help daddy with the seminar, so she'd certainly do with the home rest...
