Stomach flu

After a fun-packed weekend, the little one was hit by high fever Sunday night. The husband deserves a medal for being vigilant in taking her temperature religiously every hour, and feeding her medicine as deemed fit. Poor Kate also had diarrhea and vomitted a large gulp of her milk feed.

The doctor diagnosed her as having stomach flu.

A day has passed and though the 2nd night was more bearable, the fever still wouldn't go away.

We've also discovered that Kate is not as greedy as we make her out to be; in a bid to minimise further turmoil to her tummy, we'd switched to feeding her soy-milk as the regular milk contains lactose. She doesn't seem to enjoy this switch very much and cries out in frustration during feeds.

I can only imagine how hungry she must be, as she cannot drink the usual quantity she does as it may bloat her tummy.

Poor baby, get well soon.
