Lleyton has fallen ill!

Poor Lleyton has fallen ill. Now, he has a cough and has probably caught a cold as well. He started coughing on wednesday, and Ah Ma brought him to see the local GP, who added another prescription to the earlier medication for fever.

Things get a little complicated as the digital ear thermometer that Daddy & Mummy is using, is often inaccurate. Hence, Daddy & Mummy have some difficulty in assessing if Lleyton needs the fever medicine. The best measurement deduced is actually to feel his hands and legs...they will feel warm (or hot) when his fever hit. This brings back memories when Daddy & Mummy rushed Lleyton to the KK emergency children clinic, when he measured 39deg when he was still a little baby. There, the nurse measured Lleyton's temperature as 37deg (ie. no fever) and that "treatment" cost $75!

Mummy commented that the medication that Lleyton is on, has a drowsy effect on him, for he had dosed off, when being pushed back home in the stroller! A two minute stroll from Ah Ma's place can actually knock him out! Hopefully, Lleyton can recover soon and resume his cheerful and playful self...okay...playful but not too mischievious self.
