Alli started to develop highfever nearing midnight. I persuded him a few times to go to the clinic but he refused...
Alli : Lambat suda ni mum...Alli mau tidur...besok kita pigi...
I then put a wet towel on his forehead...it dried up quickly...
I then noticed that his lips and face slowly turning red...
I then noticed that he started shaking his left foot...
I persuaded him no more and started to bundle him up to go to the clinic...
Self : Mari, mari...kita mesti pigi sekarang...mummy tau u mengantuk...you sleep in the car...
Alli : Tapi Alli pening ba mummy...
Self : Don't worry...mummy ada...mummy will hold you tight ok...nanti kalau suda makan ubat mesti panas Alli kurang...nenek selalu cakap kan...kalau sakit tu mesti sebab mau tinggi...
Alli : Mari measure mummy...Alli suda tinggi ka...
Self : (measuring his height at the wall)...ya oh...tinggi suda...
Alli : (grinning)...
We arrived at the clinic at around 11.35pm and was told if we could wait for about 20minutes as the doctor is attending a house call...while waiting Alli fell asleep in my lap...
Doctor : Ok kita sumbat ubat di pantat...panas kuat...
Self : Berapa temperature doktor...
Doctor : 102...
...Alli fell asleep again while waiting for the medicine...kasian ni anak...We reached home a little bit after 12 midnight.
I gave Alli his antibiotic and cough syrup before we turned in for the night.
I tidur-tidur ayam, consistenly checking up on Alli.
I was about to fell deep into slumber when I felt some sort of sting on my arm.
It was no sting.
It was Alli. He was burning up. He was on fire.
I rose up quickly to switch on the light when I heard him calling out to me.
Alli : Mummy...Alli rasa Alli macam panas suda...
Self : It's ok baby...mari bangun...mummy kasi makan ubat...
I did not wait until daylight to give him the pill. I need to do something.
Before resuming our sleep, I turned on the air conditioner to cool off the room (did not switch it on earlier as he was feeling cold despite his body's searing heat).
I checked the clock, it was 4.30am.
On que,the alarm went off at 4.45am...
Time to wake the girls up...
Yesterday...

...lack of sleep...
Today...
...migraine...
