Keira got Flu

Keira was down with fever last Thursday morning. Probably got the flu virus from my mum who was sick on Wednesday. It was too last minute for either of us to stay home with Keira when we only found out mum was sick on our way to bro's home. Lucky K papa managed to take urgent leave 2nd half of day - but all was too late, Keira caught the flu!

How vulnerable bbs are! Walked from home on thurs though... Keira was so sick. Her cough was really bad.. phlegm and all... each time she coughed, she'll cover her mouth followed by "pain pain".... *sob*. Keira's fever gone down by Sat, but her cough will take her awhile to recover, and her voice was cracking. So tough to tell her not to scream/cry/talk... I was so worried that she'll lose her voice! Good Grief, I went thru that and certainly do not want her to go thru it! Good for her...she did not lose her voice... however, this time round, K papa got the flu from Keira!!!DUH! It's super contagious!

Last night, I woke up with sore throat... and I began to worry... thots of Laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx, usually accompanied by hoarseness and coughing or temporary lost of voice)...scares the hell out of me!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... I do not want to contract that again! Immediately, I took an extra srong strepsil (although I wasn't sure if I can take that while preggie :( ).

Hope we'll all get through this virus and not have any trouble! I can't afford to get sick - for bb #2 and my work :(
