Year 2010 didn’t start off very well for us. Clarisse and Edward got sick.

Clarisse started with fever, diarrhea and two days later, a runny nose and sorethroat. She’s been feverish for 3 days now sometimes peaking at 40 celcius. I worries me so much when it happens. To make matters worst, her mood is terribly bad and she refuses everything we asks her to do. From drinking water and eating bread to taking her medicine and changing clothes, every little matter is a battle. That is why its an absolute nightmare for us when Clarisse is sick. Baby Edward has runny nose.

We took both of them kids to the paed yesterday. Baby Edward was treated with some medicated gas/steam for his phelgm and had mucus sucked from his nose. The paed gave him the usual cough and phelgm medicines. Clarisse’s stool was tested for Rotavirus which turned out negative much to our relieve. She was prescribed antibiotics, flu and diarrhea meds.

The past few days has been very stressful. Clarisse throw tantrums every time she’s asked to do something. Feeding her food and water is a struggle. She made me lose my patience, threaten her with the cane and scolded her until she cries. Just to put some bread into her mouth. It’s bad enough for us the kids are sick. Her behavious is making things worst. At times, I broke down and cried.
