What a Chinese New Year!

This is the 2nd Chinese New Year for Claire. Last year, she was just 4 months old and crying like nobody's business whenever we bought her to other people's home. She didn't cry at my 1st Uncle and SK Auntie's place as she was surrounded by familiar faces!

On the first day, we dressed her up in red. Quoting my cousin's words, she is a WALKING ANGBAO! Anyway, she was enjoying herself very much as she gets to taste a Chinese New Year goodies (can read about my laments on my own blog) and alot of cousins to play with her!

Anyway, she was down with fever on Monday night. Yesterday was worse, her fever was yoyoing between 38.5 degrees and 38.8 degrees. Not to mention that she vomitted twice in the day. Out of desparation, i showered her with iced water and my heart broke when she was screaming and wailing when i did that!

Her temperature was bought down but it was her vomitting at night that did it! We bought her to the 24hr clinic at Clementi and the doctor told me that most likely it is viral infection. So we gave her the medication the doctor prescribed and she did not thrash around as much as the night before.

Despites her fever, she is super active and dun look like she is sick but she is quite sticky to us! And she kept on singing the "Papa" song, she was chanting "Papa" the whole night before she fell asleep! Now, i just wished Ms Piggy to recover soon from her fever and that her immunity will be stronger than before!
