<\/p>\nI was at a meeting at work just before noon when I received calls from a phone number I haven\u2019t seen before. No thanks to all those nuisance calls from banks and insurance companies I get all the time trying to sell me products I have zero interest in, I routinely put aside phone calls from new numbers if I\u2019m at meetings. But after two calls were made in quick succession, I ran a Google check on the number, and yikes \u2013 the number was from our infant care center!<\/p>\n
Long story short: I got called because the center\u2019s principal couldn\u2019t reach Ling (she was having classes). During her routine bath, the center\u2019s teacher discovered that she had light pink spots on her forehead. They immediately isolated her. Ling had just SMSed in the morning too that she was having a really bad sore throat, a temperature and had lost her voice. Talk about a double-whammy.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s Daddy to the rescue. I filed an immediate half-day leave, then rushed off to pick Hannah from infant care, then Ling from school, then it was off to see Hannah\u2019s PD and a family doctor for Ling.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As it is, it was still too early to say for certain if Hannah is just experiencing a side-reaction to medicine she got from last weekend\u2019s PD visit for her runny nose, or it\u2019s the first symptoms of chicken pox. So, we made a follow-up appointment for the next day tomorrow to see if it\u2019s indeed the latter if symptoms might become clearer. I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s just a skin allergy to the medicine \u2013 Ling gets rashes when she has seafood. Either way, Hannah\u2019s confined to home until we get the all clear from her PD.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Hannah\u2019s her usual cranky self in the late afternoons to early evenings, happy and cute just immediately after feeds and before bed \u2013 so I won\u2019t lay her grumbling on her possible pox. Her center\u2019s teachers even remarked that Hannah was her normal happy self and had her feeds in the morning like normal. Funnily, it\u2019s Mommy who\u2019s faring poorer: Ling can\u2019t put together an audible sentence right now so we\u2019re communicating using sign language LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
