@eylii got a fever

Yesterday was quite not good but I am still thankful for it. It was Thursday and all of my three kids had to go to school. I woke up at 5 in the morning preparing food and woke the kids up to wash and prepare for school. All of them decided not to bathe and it was okay for me. They changed into their uniforms and I brought the girls while my hubby took our son.

The girls moved too slow and were already late for school. As we near my @eylii's room, I gave her money to buy snacks and took Laling to her school. Meanwhile, I discovered Czak had no class that day because his schedule for assessment was today. I went home and prepared myself for work.

Fast forward,to 8:45, I was on my way to the bust stop to ride a vehicle to my work place then I received a missed call form my daughter( I gave her a keypad phone since 4th grade) . I thought of delaying my return call but thought it was an emergency because she only tries to call me every after class session.

I called her and I never liked how weak her voice was on the other end of the line then she said she wanted to go home because she had a fever. At first I though she was bullied or hurt or something because she was very healthy when she left home.

I was just minutes away from being late but I diverted my direction and started walking to her school which is just a walking distance. I'm very glad I listened to my instinct to call her back right away or else it will be very hard for me to go back when I had been at my workplace already.

I did not mind the salary deduction that will be implemented on me for being tardy; I've donated a lot of money to the company by that already. haha! After all, my kids will always be my priority and all my hard work was for them too.

Her classmates were peeking from the windows as I was nearing; curious about what was going on. She and her teacher were at the door waiting for me and when I reached them, she hugged me crying then we left. Later at night, when she was feeling better, we talked about her curious classmates and she told me that she did not have the strength to answer them when in the morning and only told her teacher that she wanted to go home and I will be picking her up

While at the pharmacy: @eyliiis still crying and the pharmacists wondered yet they held their mouths as I bought mefenamic acid

She complained about her painful her upper left molar tooth and she was very hot. I bought her medicine at the nearest pharmacy and a snack from the bakery we passed by.

The smiling peanut butter

When we arrived home, my mother was shocked and told her everything. I gave my daughter the medicine and she vomited after swallowing, then I gave her again and asked her to change clothes and rest.

My nephew entertained my daughter with food and gave her bread and peanut butter. Aelie then found this smiling face on the peanut butter. To our astonishment, we took a photo of it and thought about sharing it with you in this contest.

Here's my daughter with it.

I soon left home and proceeded to my workplace. I was confident to leave her because my husband will be right back soon and my mother is also at home.

I was already almost 30 minutes late while I was on the vehicle, I took random photos and found a little girl with something in her hand(something that can be connected with a dextrose). It looks like she has been sick and is still medicating; I feel so sorry for her and I pray she will recover soon. It's hard to be sick and I am thankful as well that my kids are healthy.

At night, I helped my daughter recall the food she ate days before: I checked her teeth, and mouth and discovered she had swollen tonsils. I also recalled about the grilled corn we ate the night before and the skipped meals she had.

I asked my husband to do her a steam bath and Laling went with her. They were very sweaty all over when they finished and @eylii felt better yet her feer came back at three in the morning waking me up and I got up to make her drink medicine once again.

Today, She did not attend school and I asked her to rest at home. I hope she will recover soon and will be able to go to school again next week.
