... a fever, that is :(
Brought baby for her 2nd pneumococcal jab on monday and she merely let out a short cry when she realized her backside was being attacked by an unknown.
Yesterday, about two hours after feeding her some egg yolk, she did the merlion stunt and vomitted everything out over a span of 5 episodes. Was truly heart breaking to see her feeling all weak at the end of it all. She cried and mumbled softly in distress while we patted her to sleep.
Shortly in the night baby developed a >38 degrees fever and continued to sob/cry/complained on and off. We fed her the fever medicine every four hours, checked her temperature every hour. Poor baby. Poorer mom & dad barely having any eye shut.
Thank God that as the day breaks, deliverance came along as well. Baby woke up smiley and started to get active and talkative no different from any other day. Fever was gone so we fed her as usual. We could see her coming back to her pink of health. So thankful to God for His protection!
So, we don't know if the jab caused a fever that made her vomit, or that the egg yolk made her vomit and caused a fever. We are just glad that the trauma is finally over and that baby is well again. Time for us to catch some rest!
