It started yesterday. We don’t know if the fever she had on Friday had anything to do with the cold she’s having now. But Clarisse is having a pretty bad cough and runny nose.

This is a terrible time to catch a cold with the country recording a spike in A(H1N1) cases. It really makes you wonder if the next person standing beside or walking past you in public places is carrying the flu bug.

I’m bringing Clarisse to see her paediatrician later in the day. She’s coughing quite badly and I’m really worried I might catch it too. If you know me well, you’d know I really really hate coughing. Once it starts, it takes a long time for it to go away.
