21 Dec 2008 - Jerlene had high fever

This morning, Jerlene was not as active as usual and had refused to drink milk. When we felt her, we became very worried because she was feeling very very warm. It's obvious that she was having fever. So we quickly changed up and brought her to the clinic. When the doctor took her temperature, it was 39.2 degree celcius. We were so so worried. The doctor prescribed some medicine to bring down her temperature and for her flu and phlegm as well. We quickly went for our breakfast and then went home so that Jerlene can rest.

In the morning, she was really like a "fireball". After taking the medicine, her temperature dropped but when I felt her, she's still a bit warm. Since her fever did not go down completely, Tracy tried to put some cool pack on her forehead. She has two cool packs but Jerlene only wants the Hello Kitty one.
At times, she was still quite active but after a while, she will lie down to rest. I can sense that she was still quite weak. I'm still very worried because she did not eat much. Hopefully she will get better tomorrow when she wakes up.
Be strong, Jerlene! Get well soon!
