alan had a slight fever at 37.9C degree on monday morning. i took him to see the doctor but it didn't help. his temperature kept rising. we went to the hospital every day, and had three transfusions on wednesday, thursday and friday.
we had his finger pricked on thursday, and white blood cell count was normal. so the doctor said it wasn't a virus.
on friday night, when his temperature went as high as 39.6c degree, the doctor made him had a chest scan and suspected it was a pneumonia because the image of some parts of the lung was a bit blurry. bryan took alan to another hospital the next morning and had his blood drawn for tests. initial test of white blood cell count was normal but they needed to grow the specimen to confirm if there's any other bacteria. i'm going to pick up the result tomorrow afternoon.
his temperature had come down and back to a normal range (albeit slightly higher at the lower 37c range) since saturday afternoon, and appetite improved, too. he barely ate anything during the last few days.
chloe has been coughing, too, and had a temperature of 38.5c on thursday night. i took her to see a doctor on friday morning, who prescribed some anti-virus and antibiotics. she didn't like taking medicine and threw up quite a few times, but she seems to be fine now. still a bit of cough, but temperate is normal and her appetite seems to be fine.
here i want to thank the people from the "angels in my studio" facebook group. i wrote a brief post about my children being sick and asked if they would advice how to call upon a healing angel. we received beautiful beautiful support there. so a huge thank you to everyone who offer their support, prayer, advice etc...
