Dextrosed

This is where i've been the past couple of days..

Ziggy started getting warm Saturday night when hubby and I got back from the mall. He continued having the fever, plus he had very soft poop so we all thought it was because of his new upper front tooth.

Sunday and monday came and his fever still hasn't subsided, only when he drinks paracetamol. Monday night his fever went up to a 39.5 Celsius which caused much more alarm for me.

Tuesday morning hubby and I brought him to his Pedia, who turned out to be out of town and the reliever is also absent! so instead we decided to go to St.Luke's and just look for an HMO accredited pediatrician for him. By this time he was already looking so droopy and frail and not in the mood for anything at all. He was just quiet and staring, lying his head on our shoulders. This was not him at all. Ziggy, even at the highest point of a fever, is always active. he plays and smiles and even runs around and laugh.

Since sunday night, he couldn't eat anything, nor could he drink much milk.. he was vomiting almost everything he takes in even his medicine!

after the doctor heard all of this, she asked me to just have him admitted and get some tests done to check immediately what happened to him. With the Dengue fever becoming a big problem in Luzon especially for the same week, i couldn't risk anything. Thank God for my office's HMO!

All those times he was crying and whining.. probably couldn't handle the pain or discomfort he was feeling :(

and when the doctors had to put him on IV to avoid dehydration, i cannot explain just how hard it is to see your little one being put on the needle.. he was crying and looking at me with pleading eyes as if saying "mommy please get me out of this!" i swear i almost cried but i didn't.. he might cry all the more.

As soon as they were done taping the IV and all, i had to carry him right away and hug him and kiss his red puffy eyes and comfort him as long as i can.

It was an exhausting experience. It's the first time Ziggy was ever hospitalized. I myself have never been hospitalized. The first time i experienced being "dextrosed" was when i gave birth, and that's it. I thank God for a good health, and i guess the reason he's giving me this health is for me to be able to take good care of my son and my husband (who's also prone to hospitalizations.. well at least he WAS).

The night we got out of the hospital was the only time i actually realized just how Physically and Emotionally drained i was. I didn't feel hunger until i got home and had dinner. I Didn't feel weariness until i got to our bed and lied down...

The little one's fine now, just experiencing some colds and stuffy nose but he's fine.. thank God.

Ziggy's coming out of the closet..

Literally! :)

last night while i was getting impatient with this little one asking him to go to sleep because mommy herself is too sleepy already, he went walking around the room straight to our open closet.. he went inside, stood there while i kept on asking him to go to sleep already. Whenever i call his name with a stern voice he'd shake a bit like i startled him as if he's guilty of doing something. after a minute... here's wha he did..





and insisted he stayed..



but of course.. mommy wins!



that's my little prince's story!
