Mr. Blister in the Mouth (Part II)

My earlier post talked about Ivan's mouth ulcer and today it got worse, he ate very very little and didn't drink much of water. We brought him to consult a Dr. *again* . We brought him there yesterday. And today it became worse, he had slight temperature. The Dr. said that Ivan's too dehydrated and he suggested that we admit him to the hospital after observing for another day. uuhhh ... those needles poking through my son??? *sob*sob*

After the clinic, we decided to stop by a pharmacy to get Bye-Bye Fever. While Jef was away to get it, Ivan and I stayed in the car. Not giving up, I persuaded him to drink water. By then, he was already looking really frail and tired and yet.. he still refused to drink and my heartache like hell. Out of frustration, I lost my temper at him. I told him that I don't want to care about him already. I told him that I had enough and it's fine if he doesn't want to drink or eat. I told him that I'm really angry with him for being so silly about a tiny blister.

2 minutes later ... With me regretting what I said to him, I carried my baby in my arms like how I used to carry him when he was tiny. His eyes were half closing and he was really really tired and weak. Poor thing ... I could only stroke his head and tell him about our plans for the coming weekends... told him things he could do when he's well.

Back at home, Jef applied the Oral Aid gel on the blister with him screaming and crying away. After the ordeal, we went upstairs to watch Barney with a loaf of bread. Surprisingly and much to our delight, Ivan finished up almost 3 slices of bread and drank 2 - 3 ounces of water. The Oral Aid managed to calm down his eruptive blister after all. Ivan then said the sweetest thing to us ...

[Ivan] : Mummy not angry. Ivan's a good boy. Ivan eat bread and drink water. No more painful cos Ivan see doctor...

[Jef saying to me] : I felt like crying.

[me saying this to Jef] : He's so sweet .. I'm so touched, lou kong

[Ivan stretched out to touch me] : touch touch touch ...

[Ivan] : Daddy sayang Ivan .. Ivan eats bread, eats pacifier and drink water. No more painful ..

[Jef and I melted like dark chocolate ... all over the floor]
