fever

Sent Isaac for his second 5-in-1 jab yesterday. The chap was a star! He was amazingly brave, whimpering aloud for only a few seconds when the needle was plunged into his thigh, and then immediately broke into a huge grin once again. When he got out of the doctor's room, he was even in the mood to smile broadly at one of the "aunties" outside, waiting to see the doctor!

But he woke up this morning with a low-grade fever of 37.9 degrees (yes, for children, their temperature is higher than for us adults. So anything between 37.3-38.3 degrees is considered "low-grade"!).

We were not overly worried as we have been told that children who go for such vaccination jabs often gets fever as a response to the jabs. And his doc had prescribed him some fever medication for standby during his first jab (though he ended up not getting fever then). So, we have it at hand to administer to him quickly.

Thank God, Issac was also not overly cranky. He was so good natured that we brought him out to a family dinner at night where he got to entertain (and be entertained by) his various uncles and aunties as well as his grand-uncles and grand-aunties and his great-grandma! :)

Feverish Isaac in papa's arms...
