Fatherhood Reflections XXXVI - The Sickness

The boy fell sick for the first time in a long while. This s the first time he's fallen this sick since attending Primary one. He had cough, flu and a sore throat, which is giving him a high fever all through the last two days. He had been very weak and fatigued all through the two days.

Thankfully, today he is feeling much better. Is able to sit beside me watching me type this, and able to walk around playing his toys and the occasional revision of his own homework. Still has got cough but the fever has subsided. Hopefully he gets stronger and healthier from here.

The problem is that the sickness has now spread to the girl. Today is day one of the sickness for her. She is very weak and fatigued and showing all the signs that the boy had shown two days earlier. She also has the dreaded fever. Right now lying on the sofa trying to sleep.

Hopefully she will get better in a day or two. Tomorrow should be another rough day for her going by how strong this virus strain is.

Hopefully also, the parents will be spared.

Bless us all.
