When it rains, it pours

We’re here again at St Luke’s BGC and unfortunately Twin A has to be on a wheel chair. I pulled her out of school yesterday after complaining of stomach and head ache. Then her temp rose to 38.8 C starting 5 pm so had to administer paracetamol every 4 hrs until 6 am. Fever broke between 2-4 am.Β 

She vomited at the hospital and complained of headache but still no fever.

Doctor said it looks like it’s viral and it’s starting to affect her upper respiratory system given the clogging of her nostrils. All her bloodwork are good, including the ones she had ordered to be done. It means her anti-TB meds are not destroying her liver.

What Twin A experienced last week was indeed food poisoning because there was nothing in her stool exam i.e. parasites. I guess the bacteria was normal and what I read as pus was not pus or I misread the values.

Basically everything was ok. The doctor just said maybe I could ask the FMAB radiology if they could measure the mesentery lymph nodes because the last MRI had measurements. She wanted to know if they shrunk from the last time.


When I say when it rains, it pours, it’s because I am also suffering from gastro problems because I am stressed. Really stressed. Super stressed.
