Evelyn's First Fever Scare

Mummy and daddy were at work when Ah Ma called to say you felt warm. It's a good thing Ko-ko was home and he knew how to operate the thermometer. You were having a fever over 38 degrees. I told Ah Ma we'd be back. Called the hospital and they told me to bring you in. Waited for daddy and Ah Ma kept calling, getting more and more anxious as you seemed to be burning up.
Finally we left and quickly went home to pick you up. Went to the hospital and after your weight, size and temperature were taken we went to wait for our turn to see Dr. Mary.
While waiting to see the doctor, we saw her nurse who asked why we were there. We'd just been to the hospital the night before with Ko-ko for his follow up. Then another nurse called you and you were given a suppository to quickly bring down your fever which was measured at 38.7 degrees.
Then we saw Dr. Mary. Everything was checked, she told us what to do and we went home after picking up the medicine.
As expected, feeding you was a breeze.. NOT! Sigh.. it took a lot of screaming (from you) and us performing a series of complicated actions (holding a struggling little girl, opening the mouth and pumping the medicine from the syringe) to feed you. Haha..
Hope your fever goes away soon!
