20 Oct 2012 - Day 2: Fremantle and Kings Park

Javier was still not feeling well this morning.  So we brought him to a nearby medical centre to consult a doctor.  After hearing Javier's condition, she said that Javier most likely had caught some viruses.  She did not think it's due to air sickness because that should not last so long.  There was no medicine given and her main advice was to prevent Javier from getting dehydration if he kept throwing out.  She suggested that we buy some hydralites from the pharmacy if Javier refused to take in any food.

We decided to monitor Javier for one more day and if he refused to eat anything or continue to vomit whatever his intake, we will cut short our trip and fly home the next day.  So for today, we drove to Fremantle, which is not too far from Perth city.  Before that. we took some pictures of swan river and the Bell Tower.

After we reached Fremantle, Javier kept wanting me to carry him.  Based on yesterday's experience, I refused because he started throwing out after I carried him.  So far, he has been walking slowly but at least no sign of vomiting.  As such, we prefer to keep it status quo.  We spent around 3 hours in Fremantle before travelling back to Kings Park in Perth city.

By now, Javier had started asking for food which was good since he refused to take in the hydralites that we bought.  We then went to the playground within Kings Park, hoping that will help to bring up Javier's mood.  Jerlene on the other hand went wild in the playground as usual.  After a while, Javier did join in but still not at his usual activeness.

We returned to our hotel pretty early today and got a nice sunset view from our room.

Before sleep, Jerlene took out the crayon set that we bought earlier at Fremantle and started drawing on the Hotel notepad.  When she gave it to me, I was very amazed by the tremendous improvement in her drawing skill.

As Javier did not vomit the whole of today and he started asking for food, we decided to continue on with our trip as planned.  Next day will be a long drive so we all took an early rest.
