Good health matters most

Jayven gave us a terrible scare on last Sat late night. He woke up for his feed but he was screaming unusually loud & body was shaking uncontrollably. My hubs & I tried to wake him up but he was in semi conscious state. Fever came not long after & spiked up to 39 degree within 15 mins. It was an extremely frightening scene & we rushed him to KKH.

It was confirmed to be febrile seizure & he had to be admitted for observation for the next 24 hours. No recurrence of seizure & no fever. Really wonder why it happened to my boy. Doctor advised that there is a 30% chance that it may happen again since there is a first time. I pray hard that Jayven will fall into the 70% population instead.

Early this January, Janelle was also hospitalized for 5 days in TMC for high fever & her fever lasted almost 3 weeks. Hospital stays with the kids are extremely tiring & taxing. Not to mention having to deal with their crankiness & mood swings when they are confined in the hospital premises. All the poor kids who have to go through such agony at a tender young age. It's really not easy for the kids too.

Being a parent, it is always worrying when our kids fall ill & require medical attention esp for high fever (and seizure!) I really hope that after the recent incidents, everything will be well & my babies will be blessed with good health!
