We decided to bring Ashlynn to KKH Emergency at 10+pm as her fever had crept to 39.2 degree celcius. We were worried as it was not coming down, instead it kept going higher. We can also sense some lethargy in her as the night came.
This was our first time at the hospital and we were quite shock by the number of children there. Most of them were suffering from fever. As her fever was 39.5 degree celcius when taken by the triage nurse, we were given priority and got to see the doctor quite quickly. Doc could not detect anything serious except it could be some viral infection or urinary tract infection. We waited for the longest time for her to pee and when she finally squeezed out that few drops, the preliminary test the nurse did on the small sample did not show favourable results, hence had to be sent for further lab testing, By then, it was almost 1am and all of us were dead beat. Finally we were given a clear for the urine test to our relief. We were told to go back if the fever persists for another 5 days.
Ashlynn was already sleeping when we returned home. We left her at granny's place as mummy needs to report to work early. Mummy is left with only 3 hours of sleep. Think I will be a zombie when I go to work. As long as baby recovers soon, I don't really care about the lost of sleep!
