En. Abam 1st Fever

it's been 4 days since i posted my last entry. it's all because of en. abam. he had his 1st ever fever on tuesday nite. before this, he never had any fever following his monthly immunization. alhamdulillah right now he's oredi 'kebah'.

on tuesday nite, en. abam took a long nap (7pm to 11-ish pm) after having his milk. selalunya dia cuma catnap around half an hour jer. at that time i wasn't suspecting anything. in fact, i was glad he slept for a longer period so that i can pack my things. lepas dia terjaga baru aku pegi tengok kot2 dia nak susu lagi. masa tu baru aku pasan. his forehead and body was quite warm. luckily i have the Microlife digital thermometer to check his temperature. sah! his temperature was 38.5c at that time. fortunately he wasn't cranky at all...demam pon tak nanes...

aku trus kol bobo. tapi dia tak jawab. so i just waited for him to arrive home. at about 12.30am he arrived and i told him about en. abam. he suggested to bring him to a nearby clinic but i chose to wait until next morning. then bobo went out to 7 eleven to buy koolfever. so that nite we just pasted the koolfever onto his forehead and gave him 2.5ml of cherry flavoured paracetamol for babies.

next morning, en. abam's temperature has decreased to 38.1c. alhamdulillah...just to make sure he's alrite, we brought him to see the doc. the doc says it's just a normal fever, so we don't have to be worried ;D then i asked the doc to give us the syringe only instead of another bottle of paracetamol. ehehhe...ouh, btw en. abam's weight now is 7.4kg. sebab tula ummi dah kebas2 tangan dukung budak kecit nih ;p

later last nite he's progressing well. tapi still kurang minum dan makan. at about 4.30am tetiba dia nanes kuat. bila cek, rupanya dia kembung lak. mebbe pasal kurang minum dan makan. lepas sapu minyak Yu Yee, he continued his crying for another hour! sampai 2 kali jugakla aku sapu minyak kat perut dia. so i opted to take another EL yesterday to monitor him.

for lunch, i prepared him a bowl of blended bubur ikan bilis (his favourite! bobo cakap bubur orang kampung ;p). alhamdulillah abes dia mamam. last nite, after another shot of paracetamol, he dozed off for quite a long stretch. sampai berpeluh2 kepala. pagi tadi aku nak kuar pegi keje tengok dia dah cargas balik. syukur...

so, that's all about my baby's 1st fever. hehe...

p/s: took a pic of him on my hp. but i left it at home this morning. iskkk...
