Mylène ill
Don't worry! She is already feeling better again. It was during the weekend that she was a bit ill. I just did not find the time to write something about it, yet.
Especially on Saturday, she must have felt very weak. She was not able to inform us about this yet, of course. Neither was she able to tell us which parts of her body were not feeling well. This is difficult for young, worried parents, as you can imagine. One thing was clear, though: she had felt better before. About the only thing she could do, was hanging and lying. She almost did not smile, was complaining quite a bit, and felt very warm. After checking the temperature, we were sure of it: Mylène was ill. On Saturday night, her temperature had reached 39C. Of course, we were a bit worried, but she slept quite well, and after giving her a little bit of baby-aspirine, we put her to bed in the evening, hoping that on Sunday, she would feel better again.
To our relief, this was the case. The fever was still there during the whole day (38,5C max), but she was more active, smiled more, and was obviously in a better mood than the day before.
On Monday, Shiqi did go to the doctor with Mylène, even though the fever was practically gone .... there is always something you want the doctor to take a look at, right? Well, all was fine; we had nothing to worry about, he told Shiqi.
Right now, our little girl is very active, is smiling happily, and eats loads of porridge again :-)
Our small worries are temporarily over.
