High Fever

Yesterday Jovian was having fever, but we need to go out to buy things and nobody look after her so we decided to bring her along. I feed her medicine before going out.

On the way, i put cool gel on her forehead to cool down her temperture 1st, and let her sit on her baby car seat to sleep. We going two places, on the way to second place, she don't wants to sit on the car seat so i carry her and pat her to sleep again.... after she fall asleep on my arm for a while, she suddenly open her eye and her hand shaking abit, i though what happen to her, i keep calling her, at 1st she will look at me, after awhile her both hands shake and her eye look at the top, i call her name, she no respond, i keep telling her, " what happen to you, don't scare mummy! what happen to you, don't scare mummy!" I also shake her body, she also no respond, I so scare....

I quikly ask hubby to drive her to hospital, lucky that we are on AYE and near NUH. On the way, i keep asking hubby why still having reach!!! About to reach, I think she can't breath, her lip turn blue and her face turn white, i so scare anything will happen to her, i keep holding her very tight and say to her "Don't scare, mummy here, don't scare." but myself very scare!!!!

When we reach hospital emergency, she feeling much better, now is my hand shaking and about to cry out. The nurse , measure her temperture, it reach 39.2. The nurse ask us to wait for doctor so i calling Jovian name, she now can respond to me.

Doctor tell us that, her fever is too high and she become like this, it is a kind of stroke. I ask him will it affect her brain or her health?? Doctor say no but he say got bad news, he say Jovian is below 1 year old need to stay in hospital for check up, and see will it happen again... He ask us to decide whether to let her stay.... My hubby say don't let her stay, cause now got many hand mouth disease.. so we tell Doctor, he say ok, and look at Jovian and say she can smile and respond so we need to take extra care of her, and tell us what we had to do. He teach us if this happen again, need to put her lay on a flat surface and turn her to aside to let her breath.... After 10 min, she will regain her conscious. If after 10 min, baby is still unconscious, need to go straight to hospital.

Lucky now, after having her medicine, she much better now. Can start playing and talking.....
This is the 1st time i experience this, really scared me to death.... Hope that Jovian will be more healthy and strong, "mummy won't let anything happen to you again!"
