First Fever

Joash has never come down with fever, not even when he was teething or after injection. So I panicked when his temperature went up to 40 degrees last night! The doc says he has sore throat which explains the fever as his body is fighting the infection. It's indeed rare to see him so ill that he could not play well. Even when he had running nose in the past, we always commented that he did not look like he was sick at all as he remained as cheerful as usual.

But now, he is listless, wants to be carried all the time, hardly eats anything, not even milk, is crying a lot and sleeps fitfully. I literally have to rise to the occasion to care for Joash by myself despite my weakened state as I wouldn't want him to spread the virus to anyone else. May God heal quickly in time for him to enjoy the CNY...

Jeremiah 17:14
"Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."
