Fever

Ojas has been running about 100 fever since this evening, I have given him crocin and he is sleeping now... I hope and pray that he gets well soon this time, his birthday is just round the corner... the invitations have been sent infact my mom-dad are already here and some other people from Delhi are on their way in the train... me is worried

ur heart walking outside ur body

Ojas has been very sick since Monday... now Ojas has had his share of not being well before.... when he was small he had reflux and used to throw every now and then sometimes even twice a day... blocked nose was his best friend from birth till about 4 months and then he had a diarrhea and fever attack when he was about 7 months but I have seen him like this... my heart is aching since Monday there are multiple times I have cried, just hugged him tight and had tears rolling down my checks...

I was in office on Monday when my mil called me saying that he seems to be warm... I told her to check the temperature and it was about 100.6 I asked to give her some crocin and told her will come home a little early and see if there is a need to take him to the doc... I had a couple of meetings lined up for the day so got busy and couldn't leave office till about 4:30 and when I reached home he had some 102 fever... I gave another dose of Crocin and took him to the doc... he has ear infection which is called Acute Otitis media... we came back home with an prescribe antibiotic and some multivet, ear drops for the pain... after reaching home I checked his temperature again and was stunned when i saw it... 103.8 such a small baby and such high fever... i couldn't react at all... just hugged him tight and cried a little... cursed myself for not leaving the office immediately... blamed myself for thinking that he'll be fine till I reach home...

Its heart breaking to see him suffering like this... its been almost 3 days and the fever still hasnt gone down...till the medicine has effect his fever will come down to about 99-100 and then he'll be jumping all over the house just like him and then fever will start raising again, along with fever will change his behavior... he will slow down, then sit and play, then come to my lap and play with the toy or book and then just lie down in my lap lifeless and that is what I cant bear to see... see him sit like this when usually he doesn't even sit for one minute throughout the day...the heart breaks when u see this... I think these are the times when u understand the most what it feels like having a child... I had read somewhere that "Decision to have a child is accepting that your heart will be walking outside forever".... I think today is when I have understood what that means...

Meanwhile I went to the doc again this evening and he asked to me wait till tomorrow afternoon and see if the fever comes down else a visit to ENT specialist will have to be scheduled....

Again...

my nonu tonu is fallen sick again... the diaper rash was just abut healing when the attack of loose stools has come once again, i think it is the same infections which didn't get fully healed cause as soon as the antibiotic has stopped the problem is back again... poor guy , get well soon my darling

the first sickness

Poor Nonu tonu had his first last week and it was such a terrible one, I was working from home on Friday and he was playing with his dadi and nanny... after sometime I just went there to play with him for 5 minutes and then get back to work and he felt really warm and when I checked his temperature it was about 101.4, i got so worried and immediately took him to his doctor, he said it might just be viral but lets do a urine test to rule out , UTI (there is an intersting story there, more about that later), so the medications started...fever still remained the same infact shot upto 102.2 and all... and starting saturday he started vomiting and tehen came loose motions... one point time on sunday we were so scared as he was not able to take anything inside due to vomitings and at the same time passing loose motions. the only thing that he was able to keep inside was electrol. He has become so unlike himself quite innocent boy, looking at him I couldn't control my tears. Monday we went to the doc again and poor guy had lost 250gms in 4 days because of all this, doc asked us to do a stool test for him and it came out he has a terrible stomach infection and he is on antibiotic now for 7 days... after the antibiotic has started he is feeling much better now

When I digged hard and tried to figure out how this could happen when I am so particular about cleaning everything - here comes the answer... there was no current in our house on thursday and hence the sterilizer was not working, it didnt strike his nanny and dadi that the bottles will not be sterilized and they gave him just boiled bottles........ one mistake the child suffers so much... poor guy
