Just when I thought things could not get worse, my two babies just fell sick.

First, whatever it is, struck Sophie in the middle of the night. Good thing was that I woke up feeling like something was wrong, I assumed it was just the fact that I crashed into bed after too much fatigue. Frankie woke up from the discussion Dhirrac and I were having regarding my abrupt awakening at 2 a.m. which led to Sophie’s waking up, too. She ran to Dhirrac all of a sudden, and as he picked her up, he instantly noticed her high temperature and weakened state. I took her temperature immediately and registered a 39 deg C temperature. Unsure of what happened to her, we had her take Paracetamol and had her go back to sleep.

Yesterday, her temperature was still high that I believe she had some small convulsions. I informed my mother who then instructed me to buy Opigesic suppositories and to give her a sponge bath and put a cold pack. Since last night, her temperature has improved and I thought I could sigh in relief.

That was until Dhirrac texted me as I headed home from work today, that Frankie started vomiting and ran a high temperature. Now I have both of them sick! Upon my arrival, I did not waste much time. I gave him a sponge bath, gave him the suppository, and put cold compress on his forehead. Luckily, his temperature went down a bit, and now he has his pep back a bit. I can bet Php. 500.00 that I will be having a very long night tonight.
