Covid comes a-visitng

And here we go again.. 

On Tuesday evening, you called me to ask where the test kits were. Reason being Ah Kong wasn't feeling well and had fever. Oh no.. just as we reached home, you called to say he tested positive and you will self-quarantine. We also asked Ah Ma to self-quarantine seeing that she was sitting with him (and you too) the whole day while he was already sick. You both tested negative and so we told you both that you can come out the next day if you test negative. 

On Wednesday, you called to say that your test came back positive.. sigh.. my heart dropped. You had no symptoms for the whole day, so your appetite was very good (read: always hungry). You also said you wanted to eat as much as you could before fever hits you and you lose all appetite. That night, the fever came...

On Thursday, your fever was very high. You barely had any appetite, but managed to scarf down the Kg Jawa CKT that we had bought in the morning. We were also getting suspicious of Ah Ma's status as we could hear her coughing a lot in the room downstairs. So after lunch, daddy had her tested twice and it came out positive. We debated on where would be a better place to keep her. In the end, we opted to move her into the room with Ah Kong. He said that he would move into the room downstairs once he's cleared.

Ah Ma also started her fever in the evening. This time we gave all of you 1.5 of the 650mg Paracetalmol. It worked better. Your fever was also running you down and you had no appetite for dinner with your fever hovering near 39 degrees. We gave you 1.5 of the paracetamol and once it was suppressed, you appetite came back with a vengeance. Daddy had to make you supper. But I'm glad that you could still eat.

It looks like it's going to be a long week... many more days to go. Hope that you'll all recover faster and have as mild symptoms as possible.
