The long weekend has been a slow and unforgettable week for me.
Our drama started the weekend BEFORE.

Childcare called to inform that Z has slight fever that is on and off and ask if we can come to fetch him home because Z has a small isolated history of fever fits they feel scared when he has a fever. This comment makes me rather uncomfortable as it feels like they r assuming the fits will be a recurrent case. And though books and doctors had said that febrile fits can be common among toddlers. Apparently its the first time the teachers had encounter this.

Anyway, thankfully my mil ask to be released early from wrk, and she brought Z home. She wanted to go immed after we informed her of the school phone call at 12noon but I called up the sch to verify if Z is aslp as its nap time. True enough he is aldy aslp so no point fetching him home when he is aldy aslp. I dun understand why the teachers didnt think abt this either. But oh well.

In the  night, his butt and hands start showing little red spots. We rush him to his paediatrician whom confirmed that he had hfmd.
Thank God the following day was a Saturday which gives us some time for work arrangement. But I had really important meetings and to depend on R and his sis to take leave. I cld only be able to take half day. Never felt so awful.

We continue our KL trip on Thursday leaving Z with R's sister. Like I said again. Never felt so awful. To make matters worse, I was infected with a mild case of HFMD so I had to endure painful blister hands and feet while walking ard KL. Thankfully my case was truly non-contagious.  None of R's colleagues was infected by me.Thank God.
