Kiddie sick day 2

You know how i've been saying that Paolo had a fever since Saturday night? Well, when his pedia saw him Monday afternoon, she advised that Paolo be confined already.
Uso nga kasi dengue and she remembers how Paolo had trouble before fighting off the disease. So that same night, confined na sya and I’ve been on leave since Tuesday.

Anyway, they ruled out dengue coz the CBC results showed bacteria at 16, when the normal is 10 or below. For dengue cases, it's the white blood cells count that decreases. Whew, that was such a relief to hear. They were treating now Paolo, since he developed cough & colds and had sore throat. But since fever was still present although he was already being given antibiotics, he underwent an x-ray and that was when he was found to have broncho pneumonia. He had fever every 5 hours, anywhere from 39 to 40. so the doctor changed his meds to penicillin. Now paolo is doing much better, THANK GOD!

Now i'm sick (again!). Actually, since a week before Paolo was hospitalized i've had cough and colds already. And since i was already at the hospital anyway, i took the chance and went for a checkup. And guess what? I have acute bronchitis. Anyway, the doctor advised me to take 3-5 days rest. Yeah, right! Since paolo will be discharged tomorrow (Sunday), have decided to take my SL on Monday and Tuesday. I need to recharge.

I consider it a blessing, though, that when Paolo was sick, i was much better and could handle the sleepless nights. Like they say, hindi pwede magkasakit ang mommy, coz then who would take care of the kids? :)

All throughout the past week, Paolo and I have been bonding and enjoying our time together. Patrick has also been such a darling, behaving himself and being such a sweet kid. Not just to me, but to his Kuya Paolo, too. :)
