2015: Chicken Pox

Huhuu, still in the year of 2015.

Since I was pregnant with Honey, I've been saving my annual leaves for emergency case such as kid got chicken pox & sick. So alhamdulillah, I have quite many annual leaves that I carried forward that taking leave is not a big deal to me. Also alhamdulillah, despite I'm ready to take leaves whenever the kids got sick, they actually rarely got sick.

However, in 2015 both of them had chicken pox. First, it was Iman in late of August. No high fever whatsoever, I just noticed red blisters at her body. Since it was my first experience, I got a bit nervous. I didn't know exactly what to do & couldn't wait to bring her to a clinic on the next day. Alhamdulillah, the doctor said it was still at early stage that it can be controlled by antiviral. Iman remained active & easy to be taken care of. However I was quite busy so I couldn't take leaves for more than a week straight. Basically, me & JD took turn taking leaves.

After went to a clinic, kita makan dulu! The blisters weren't so obvious but they were there.

Da kenyang, balik tido, calit losyen gatal...

Then in late of October, I noticed blisters on Honey's body. Coincidentally, I had a 2-week course so taking leaves wasn't an option at all. Luckily it was Honey, who was big enough to stay with her Nenek. She didn't mind going to Nenek's house. I guess she'd rather go anywhere but her kindy. Even after she was recovered, she still claimed she had chicken pox by pointing at the scars & made an excuse for not going to kindy. Like Iman, Honey also didn't suffer from high fever due to the chicken pox. She remained active but now & then would whine about feeling itchy.

Happy Honey at Nenek's house despite suffered from chicken pox.

When Iman had chicken pox, I was quite afraid if I'd get infected too. Mak said I only had chicken pox when I was a baby. So there was a big possibility I'd get infected again. However, alhamdulillah, I didn't. I guess I was immunized somehow. As for JD, he already had suffered from it when he was a big kid.
