First Visit to KK Hospital

I have been pretty healthy all this while and seldom fell sick. In the last 7 months, I probably only checked out Dr Appan once for some skin irritation. Like they always say, when it rains, it really pours. I am not sure if Gor Gor Reuben passed the fever and cough to me or vice versa, but we both started coughing pretty badly since Sunday. My temperature went up to as high as 39.5 degrees Celsius. I know some other kids have gotten it worse and made it through pretty ok but Mummy and Daddy wasn't gonna take any chances. Even though it is May Day holiday today, they decided to bring me to KK Hospital. Daddy even said he has heard me cry more in the last 2 days than the whole of the last 7 months.


Thank goodness it wasn't very crowded at the hospital. We managed to see a doctor almost immediately after we registered. The doctor suggested that the best I can get, for my age, is a sponge down and some paracetamol. Mummy and Daddy were really relieved to know that nothing serious has happened to me, probably the growth of more teeth has caused the fever. I had to take some urine samples to make sure there is no other infection. Unfortunately I kept missing the pouch and had to spend like another 2 hours just to get a few drops. Thank goodness the results were normal..

Reuben.. "It's ok Mei Mei Andrea.

You will be fine soon."

Reuben.. "Gor Gor will make you
laugh with these moves. Hiya.."

Mummy.. "It's ok Andrea, don't unpack my bag cos we
are not going to stay over at the hospital"
