The Virus got Me!

I was attending a two day Seminar Workshop when suddenly I feel a bit nauseous. No! I am not pregnant at all, I just had my period the week before. I feel something is really wrong with me.

I havent even touched my food, I just kept staring at it. I am not hungry at all and I have not taken anything before it. ding ding ding... this isn't me! I dont say NO to great food. I must be SICK!

True enough, I was! That night, I went to bed early because my head really hurts. Then I woke up coughing in the middle of the night. It was a very dry cough.. There it was! The culprit had finally emerge. The virus that had my immune system weakened.

I decided to cut the seminar short and go home cuz I cant even focus. I felt soooooooooo tired and I could feel my body aching. Oooohhh my! I haven't been sick for a while. I rarely get sick! Just now!

In my head, I just wanted to lay down in my bed. I dont know if you feel the same, but every time I am sick I always want to take the rest at the confines of my home. I feel that I will get better more at home. And of course, we are much comfortable to be at our weakest times if we are in our own comfy place.

And so I got knocked off by a 38°C of fever and a troublemaker cough that wouldn't go soft on me. I could feel my joints aching with soreness, I could hardly move for every bones in my body aches. I feel like my body had been punched by so many times. My friends said that I might have been over fatigue and stressed. Yeah, maybe!

I did not see the doctor, no worries I firmly believe that a little rest will be enough. I just need a time off from work. I just needed to sleep it through. I just need to really rest.

Bad news!!!! The VIRUS had infected somebody else not just me!... it got my baby too!!! Aarrrrgggh! I asked myself, Did I just passed it on to him because I was breastfeeding??

With that, I couldn't get the rest I need cuz the baby is just more clingy than ever. He does not want to be carried by anyone else but me. If the nanny gets him, I could just hear his cry and whines calling out to me. It pains me to keep hearing him pleading.

Haaaaaaaa! No matter how heavy my body is, I have no choice but to respond to him. Somehow I found a little strength to console whatever he is feeling too. I know he is likewise in pain. Poor baby. He was having 38°C fever too.

I get a little panicky for there was a Dengue Outbreak in the nearby towns. I searched for his body for any signs of rashes or whatever. He has no cough or colds that causes for his fever. He has no cuts or bruises or wounds either. Then suddenly, it hit me. He is probably teething! I searched for his gums and I was right!! Oohh I was relieved for him!

But a sick baby is still a sick baby. You have to be on guard for 24 hours. And I was! Yep, no descent sleep for a sick momma! Tsk tsk... why now..

We were sick for almost three days. It was a good thing it was on a weekday, Kuya Maque is mostly gone for school. I had less to worry about during day time. But every night was an ordeal for I am always on the clock for the baby's meds and sponge baths.

I feel like I am walking sick zombie with super sized eyebags!!

Thank goodness the virus had finally decided to leave us. and dont come back please...

PS.

We are all feeling a little okay now. Though we are both out of fever already the clingyness is still there. And we both lost a few pounds.
