Hot day Saturday

10.16.22

She was hot. You might be thinking of a different kind of hot. It was literal. It got us worried. We're trying to be chill and hoping that she's gonna be fine soon.

Yesterday, Saturday was supposed to be an activity or going out day for us. It has been days since Lil B was sleeping late due to her routine changes. As you may know, a toddler's body clock or schedule changes from time to time. There were days that they would sleep as much as they can in a day and some days they would resist sleeping in order to play.

Last week, we were unable to get out of the house that often or we were not able to do morning or afternoon walks. It rains when we were about to go outside or sometimes she would wake up late than usual so the sun was up high. We wouldn't want to catch skin cancer, don't we? We just want to get enough vitamin D if we can.

One more reason I didn't let play outside or with our neighbor's kid is because we saw baby lice or what we call lisa on Lil B's hair. We've removed a few and to the few that it may spread, it's easier to prevent her from going outside or playing with other kids. We are pretty positive that she didn't get it from us because obviously if we had lice, she should have lots already.

Anyway, back to the story...

I asked my husband the other day if we can go to the park near the seaside in the morning and have our breakfast there. There's a playground there that Lil B might like. We planned to bring toast for breakfast and my husband agreed. I was happy and relieved that we can bring back Lil B's sleeping routine.

I woke up around 5 or 6 in the morning yesterday thinking I was dreaming when I touched Lil B. She was a bit hot. I somehow continued breastfeeding her while sleeping and fell asleep too. We woke up around 9-ish am and touched her and she still felt the same. That's when I thought, it wasn't a dream. I got the thermometer and checked her temperature. It was 37.1 degrees, boy she's got a fever. I carried her, got a towel, and changed her clothes. My husband asked if we should still go to the park. I was kind of hesitant but I thought we still should thinking Lil B might get better too.

I prepared breakfast and then off we go. We went to the park, sat on a bench, and eat our breakfast instead. We didn't go to the playground as Lil B doesn't want to be put down. She was more clingy yesterday and doesn't even want to be carried by her daddy.

We tried to feed her toast that I made but she didn't want it. Good thing we brought biscuits. My husband tried to feed her little by little and she did eat it, I was somehow relieved.

We decided to go home after less than an hour and upon warming up the car, Lil B suddenly vomited. I can see little crackers that she ate and the water she drank. I told my husband that we should go home immediately. We needed to drop by an ATM before going home. I asked Lil B if she feels pain in her teeth or tummy, and she nodded at the tummy. I took her shirt off and let her sleep on my chest for a bit. Don't worry I still covered her with an eco bag.

When we got home, I asked her if she wants to eat or drink milk. She nodded and I gave her a different biscuit and let her drink milk. After a few minutes, she vomited again. I told my husband if the vomiting continues every time she eats or drinks, I will contact her pedia in Marikina for an online consultation.

After her last vomit, I decided to bathe her. I don't want her temperature to rise up that's why I bathed her, we don't want her brain to be fried up when her temperature rises.

After a few minutes, she looked fine as if she didn't have a fever or puked. She was playing with the water while taking a bath. I got a little less worried this time. Then I cooked porridge for her, she seem to like soup so she might eat it too. To my surprise and got more relieved when she ate it for her lunch. I was actually waiting for her to vomit so we can contact her pedia immediately, but good thing that she didn't. She's back to being playful after that. That got me thinking that maybe she has a fever because of her teeth. She got 4 teeth that's been meaning to come out and I am sure that it hurts. She still has a fever but I am monitoring her temp.

My husband also told me that when he was young, he used to vomit whenever he has a fever. Fever may also cause vomiting, but we still monitored her if the vomiting continues.

Tonight at dinner, she really didn't look like she was sick. She was even asking for more food and a banana. We are just thankful that she didn't lose her appetite and energy.
