Down With Stomach Flu

Hubby and my girl down with stomach flu. I have no idea where they get it from. Really tough for me to handle, imagine that taking care hubby and Enya, plus with my active boy around, I am really exhausted.

This has to start on last Friday! Hehehe... ... Like telling story! Spotted some rashes on Enya's back when I bath her. At that moment, I though that maybe due to the hot weather, so just apply some liquid talc on the rashes area before I dress her.

Saturday, she started to have loose bowels, estimated 2-3times a day, a little greenish type but the amount of poo not that much. No fever trigger, rashes on her back subside but mild rashes found on her tummy. She was quite active, so no action taken on that day.

On Sunday, first thing in the early morning, Enya poo, hubby clean her up and feedback to me that he feel a layer of oil on his palm while washing her bum. I experienced too after 2 hours later. Her condition still the same as Saturday, only increased to 4-5 times loose bowels. I fed her more frequent at 3 hours interval. As for hubby, he starts to feel nauseous in the afternoon, for the day he end up frequently visited the toilet, he vomited, diarrhea and his fever hits 38.7c.

Monday, that is today, make me panic! It really scared me when I saw her, rashes spread all over her body - her forehead, on her back, even found rashes on her chest and tummy. I feel so worried, should have say, I feel more guilty rather than worried. Guilty in such a way that I have not realise it earlier to have her suffer with rashes and loose bowels for so many days but luckily no fever.

Here the rashes on her back and bum! There are some on her head too!

Accompany hubby and Enya to GP, just at the neighbourhood area. After diagnosed, both of them confirm caught stomach flu. Not very sure what is it actually, some medical term uses by GP when explaining, only what I care most is their condition not as serious as I thought! Advice to rest more, drink more water, some food not advice to take (eg: oily, spicy food, milk and etc). Lastly, most important, here goes $31 for each!

Towards evening, hubby recovered, no more diarrhea, no vomitting, and no fever. Rashes on Enya's body subsided after applied cream for her.
