The Evil Influenza Bugs

ZY has been down with running nose since Good Friday and after giving her some flu medicine, her condition still did not improve. I brought her to the doctor yesterday and he diagnosed that ZY is having the more serious influenza rather than common cold. I guess she has gotten the bugs in her playgroup as quite a number of kids are down with flu last week. The teacher told me that ZY kept on hugging a girl who was having flu last Thursday, and even though the teacher had repeatedly told ZY to stay away from this girl, ZY refused to listen. =_= (guess all the breast milk that ZY had drank and is still drinking, to boost up her immune system, is somehow not working...hiaz)

In addition, ZY is also having slight fever and cough. Her cough will get worst at night and plus the running nose, she has had a hard time getting to sleep. Since she has a tendency to vomit when she was coughing at night (according to the doc, its b'cos she is trying to cough out the phlegm), I have to be on guard with a plastic bag nearby just in case. Hence, I also have a restless night and is now having body ache.

Despite having used up almost a whole box of 200 sheets Kleenex, ZY still wanted to go to her playgroup! She must have missed her favourite Chinese teacher, 陳老師 and her schoolmates. She even weep when I told her that she was not going to school yesterday!

Anyway, the doctor said that she will need to rest for at least a few days and hopefully the medicines will be effective and this little girl can go back to school again.

Yah lor, that girl actually was asked to go home when her grandma brought her to sch that morning, but the teacher later asked her to return 15 mins b4 school ends to decorate the easter egg. Even though the teacher tried to separate the girl fr the rest of the class by putting her at the corner, ZY still managed to sneak around and went near her, hiaz..

I agreed that the teacher shouldn't asked that girl to come back to class. Her action will expose all the kids to the virus and my poor ZY is the poor victim lor :(
