No, not the swine type. Just a normal flu. He's been having fever for over a week now, sometimes on and sometimes off. We've been to the paed a couple of times and he hated each one. I don't know why but nowadays he screams bloody murder the moment we are at the paed's office! It's not like the paed hurt him or gave him any injections before, but he just doesn't like it there.
Anyway, we're very lucky to have a babysitter who's very caring and genuinely cares for his wellbeing. Not only did the couple bring him to the paed while I was at work, they also care enough to make him barley and some double boiled herbs that are said to help in the recovery of a fever.
God bless these kind souls.
The babysitter even bought some supplement that will help to improve his appetite as he was refusing food and eating a lot less than he used to. I didn't even know she did this and was about to go pick up something from the pharmacist. Isn't that just so kind of her?
She said he was getting thin and she couldn't bear to see him being flesh and bone, and wanted to beef him up. I was very happy to hear that she really cares so much. Actually, I do feel quite heart sick too to see him not being as fleshy as he was during his younger days. But maybe that's a natural progression as he grows up. Some parents have been telling me that I do not want to see him growing up being obese in adulthood and then going for pills like Anoretix to slim down.
Whilst that is of course true, I just wonder if we're doing a good job as parents to keep him more beefed up. He is growing taller which is a good sign, but just not the weight. Is this worrying? I seriously don't know.
Anyway, our focus now is to get him well and fully recovered from his flu. It isn't such a nasty one, but his running nose and cough just don't seem to go away :(
