We were getting ready for me to leave for nursery school when Daddy noticed that I was feeling a bit hot. He took my temperature and I had a 38.3°C (101°F) fever. Oh no, not again. Daddy called the nursery school and told them that I would not be coming to school today. He let Mommy know about the situation and got ready to bring me to the doctor’s again. Mommy asked Obachan if she could come over to take care of me while Daddy worked and she happily and eagerly said she could. Once all the plans for the day were set, off to the clinic we went.
I cried when we got there. I literally cried right outside the door before we even stepped inside. I don’t like going to the doctor’s. The doctor gave me a quick and painless exam, but I still cried a lot. I finally calmed down when we were back in the waiting room. We got my prescription and we were off to the pharmacy. I didn’t cry there. We were in and out very quickly since we had just been there a last week. Then we went straight home so that I could take my medicine, which was the same as last time. I took my medicine and after a few minutes in Daddy’s arms quickly fell asleep.
So the verdict was that I never completely got over last weeks cold. I had a runny nose pretty much the whole time and a cough off and on. My fever had gone away pretty quickly but then it came back today with a vengeance. My temperature at the doctor’s office was 39.5°C (103.1°F). Let’s hope the medicine does it’s thing and helps me fight this cold and fever. To be honest, I felt fine this whole morning. I’m a pretty tough and resilient baby. I was in quite a good mood and was very happy and playful. I didn’t really understand why I couldn’t go to school just because I was a little hot. But Daddy said it was so that I could rest and so that I wouldn’t get anyone else sick. Okay, that makes sense.
