Bela is Sick

My baby is sick. She vomited after she finishes her first bottle of milk when she woke up last Saturday morning. This is just a usual thing for Bela since she has gag reflex. She easily vomits if she feels her hair inside her mouth so I thought there is really nothing to worry about. And besides she is still very energetic and she is very excited to go to her trial class for her ballet lesson at Halili Cruz School of Ballet.

So we left around 10:30 AM and we dropped by first at Mind School Specialist to enroll her for their summer program and pay the reservation for this coming school year. She vomited again on our way there but I still did not suspect anything as she even played at the school’s romp area and she even explored the toys in her future classroom when Miss Beth (MSS Secretary) gave us a tour again as it is Howell’s first time to visit the school.

Then we left MSS around 12nn and she kept on asking for iced tea since she got thirsty after playing at the romp. Then after her first sip of her iced tea, she vomited again so we decided to just go home and just reschedule her trial class at Halili next Saturday.

When we reached home she is still active and her temperature is okay. The whole afternoon pass and she did not vomit again although she consumes less bottle of milk that day but she always wants to drink water. She went to bed around 10 PM and then she suddenly woke up and vomited again and when we checked her temperature, she already has a low grade fever. I called my mom in panic as this is the first time that Bela got this sick so Howell and I are not used to her being this way.

My mom gave her Paracetamol and she fell asleep after that. The next morning she still has low grade fever (37.7) but she drinks her milk and she is always asking for noodles. She did not vomit the whole day and her fever was gone so we decided not to bring her to the emergency room as I really hate the ER at Chinese (only interns will entertain you there and I am sure they will do a lot of blood tests on Bela and I don’t think I can stand seeing my daughter cry while they are doing all these tests). We will bring her to her pediatrician tomorrow and I am really praying that she will get better as I don’t want to her be confine.
