The viruses have been lurking around the house for the past 2-3 months, never really leaving us for long before they make another return. All of us have been taking turns to visit the doctors for coughs, colds, sore throats and infections. But the worst came about 2 weeks ago when T caught a really bad bug from K and ended up in the hospital for 3 days.
He refused solids for 2 days - took some milk on Saturday and survived solely on water on Sunday. The PD advised us to admit him on Monday morning (13 Dec) as he has to be put on a drip. At one point, his temperature was as high as 40.3! He was groggy, cranky and had to be held all the time. He was a human koala for 3 days! After the rounds of x-ray, injections, mucus and blood tests, he was terrified of the uniformed nurses and was clinging on to us for dear life for the first 2 days. He refused to sleep on the bed on his own but on our chests throughout his stay.
We were so relieved when he was discharged, on his road to recovery and was behaving like his usual self. He was cleared by the doctor just this Thursday - in time for Christmas!
