My 2 kids got sick

We had two rough weeks these few weeks. First, Yuta had a fever and red rash on his face that I decided to bring him to doctor nearby. He was diagnosed with virus infection that was not dangerous but the fever would continue to go for 5-10days. It was true. What I did was only giving him tylenol to bring his fever down every 4 hours. His highest temperature was 38 C.
After 4 days when I thought he was recovered already, the next day his fever went up to 38.5 C. He did not want to eat and he threw up everytime we gave him food. For the whole day, he only ate few spoonful of porridge and 2 baby biscuits. It was really tough because it reminded me when he had the same sickness on April 2006. That tragedy was traumatic. But this time, as daddy was around we recovered it better. The next day Yuta ate more though we had to feed him every 3 hours. But he recovered slowly, and I cant thank God enough for that.

Kailie had diahorrea as an effect from Yuta's virus. She ate less and drank milk less. I did not have time to cook her homemade food because I was too stressed with Yuta's illness. She seemed to know that and coorporated very well and I thank her for that. She already recovered from her diahorrea and her appetite has grown now.

Never that your kids' health for granted that's for sure, and I thank God for giving me strength throughout these 2 weeks that Yuta and Kailie has recovered. :)

(Though it is now my time having a very painful sore throat now and cold sympthom. Hopefully I can recover soon. )
