Sick

Jaden and Lynette fell sick last week. It all started with Jaden having a very bad cough and then Lynette started coughing too. Brought both of them to the PD and both were put on the nebulizer for about five days.

Jaden recovered quite quickly after a few rounds of nebulizer. However, Lynette's cough seemed to get worse and her face will turned all red after coughing. We can hear the phlegm in her cough but she can't seem to cough it out. On Saturday, she had a fever (highest was at 38.4) and we took her to KKH on Sunday afternoon.

Sigh, poor Lynette has to be hospitalised :( The doctors said that her cough was very bad and she had some infection in her lungs which was later diagnosed as bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis is inflammation of the bronchioles, the smallest air passages of the lungs. She was warded for three days and fortunately, her infection cleared up and her cough has gotten slightly better. Daddy stayed over at the hospital with her while I looked after her in the day.

Lynette was still pretty alert and active despite being sick.

Thankfully, she is on her way to recovery although it will take another week or two for the cough to clear completely. Thanks to the doctors and nurses at KKH Ward 86!
