The sickly episode

Some nasty bacteria / virus has hit Lleyton for the past few weeks. It wasn't too bad initially as all he had was fever for a day or two, coupled with running nose and cough.

Before he fully recovered from the first bourse, another episode hit him badly this time, sending him on a "3D 2N weekend stay" at KKH.

It started off with high fever, which did not really subside after 5 days. After some deliberation, Daddy agreed that they should visit KKH A&E just to get him a proper diagnosis and the right medication. Mummy steadily packed his overnight bag as she suspected that he may be admitted. Surprisingly, she wasn't panicky nor fearful when the doctor suggested immediate admission. He was diagnosed with Pneumonia after a full blood test count and a chest X-ray. A secondary condition of Anemia was also detected. After they "checked" themselves into a "luxurious" deluxe room, the doctor on duty made his rounds and examined Lleyton one more time. He was then placed on a course of stronger antibiotics which sent him off to dreamland.

Lleyton's condition improved over the next 2 days as his fever had gone down. However, his lack of appetite persisted. He was on a self-imposed liquid diet which comprise of milk and juices. When he was discharged, he was given 8 days MC and to continue with his medication. Sure enough, he is exempted from school and now he is well!
