Spying on my little life: 16 months

Gwenneth was hospitalised. After eating french fries.

Well, not that Gwenneth is allergic to McDonald's french fries, it just happen to be the case of coincidence each time she gets to try junk food. Even if its just a few licks of chocolate ice cream.

Mommy brought Gwen Gwen to McDonalds one late afternoon for a treat for plain vanilla soft ice cream. But Gwenneth was not even interested to even try.

So Mommy gave her ONE french fry and subsequently let her hold the packet of fries with about 20 of them in it, and went on snapping pictures happily.

In a flash, Gwenneth ate ALL OF IT!

Plain Vanilla ice cream. How boring.

Look at that castle of golden fries!

Ok! i will try one. Just one Mommy.

Hmmmmm...... :)

Savour it. It might just be the very only piece Mommy will give me.

Give Mommy a smile. Might have more.

Awww....its good stuff.

I will never see potato in the same light ever again!

Heavenly.

Now you see it, now you don't!

And.... i ended up in hospital the very evening.

I came home and felt a little feverish. I drank my late afternoon neh neh and was watching cartoon on TV.

Suddenly, i took out my tu tu from my mouth and threw out all the milk and fries i ate just now. Then my fever went up to about 38 degrees odd.

Mommy called Daddy who was at work and Daddy said that we must send her to the doctor if the high fever seems persistant.

It was the first time ever i have fever since birth and Mommy was extra careful about burning my little Einstein brain.

Mommy decided to send me to A&E and called Daddy to inform him to meet us at the hospital. Daddy suggested to see a new padaetrician, Dr Lee from Mt Elizabeth.

We took a cab to Mt E and my fever was measured at 39.4 degrees! Prob because Mommy was hugging me in the cab and the temperature was slightly higher because of the body heat.

And so, i was admitted after a dosage of suppository.

My fever came down a little and i was no longer throwing up. I could take my diluted feeds of milk as instructed by Dr Lee.

Daddy and Mommy stayed over with me for the night. Mommy snuggled next to me on the bed while Daddy slept on the couch bed.

Mommy woke up every hour to take my temperature and recorded it down, so that the nurses would not come into the room every now and then and disturb my sleep by opening and closing the door. Mommy also had to make sure that the fever does not go higher than 38.5 degrees, so that extra dosage of medication would not necessary. Mommy felt that too much medication to my little body is not a good thing either.

I remained cheerful and active even though i was running a temperature. I somehow enjoyed the plain porridge from the hospital menu too.

Mommy was glad that my appetite was normal and doesnt seem to be in a ditzy state.

Happy!

No, we never bought 4D thereafter.

I can run fast!

peek a boo!

Disturbing Daddy from reading the newspaper in the morning

I also want to read.

I read to Elmo.

So whats up today?

Please do not disturb, Mommy!

Choosing my menu for the day.

Plain porridge please!

My temperature was below 38 degrees, and Daddy and Mommy felt that i can rest better in the comfort of my own home.

Mommy and Daddy sneaked me out to Paragon and we had lunch at Ding Tai Fung! We got discharged in the early evening and Mommy gave me tender loving care at home. My fever was gone for good for the whole night and i went back for a review 2 days later.
