Matilde sick :(

Matilde have had high fever for 4 days and y-day when I came home from work, it was almost 40 degrees and her eye was swollen, and decided to go to the emergency room... Stupid mummy not thinking straight and brought Hannah and Nady, and got stuck in traffic, and both kids feel asleep in the car... hence, Nady and Hannah stayed in the car while Matilde and I went in.

Great service at Raffles, came in to see the doctor right away, but the doctor was very concerned re the high fever and wanted to keep her over night for observation. I refused as they didn't have a pediatrican on call, so decided to go to KK instead (Children Hospital with plenty of pediatricans!)

Hannah and Nady taken home, packing a bag for Matilde and I in case of the same diagnosis at KK...

Very different service at KK - the place was full with waiting parents and kids, so in total, we spent 5 hrs there, wonderful... managed to keep Matilde occupied with iPhone, blackberry, books, picture of auntie Johanna ('moster joooanna')...

After seeing 3 different people, where the doctor was 25 yrs old and only worked for 3 years (I had to ask if he really was the doctor), we could go home with 4 bottles of fever reduction medicine, caugh medicine, runny nose medicine, antibiotics, eye drops.... starting to feel like a pharmacy at home...

Lesson learned from this:

• Don't bring sister along....
• Don't go to KK...

Matilde is feeling better today, the fever has gone down to reasonable level, and she has been playing all day :-)
