Fever, Molar & Minestrone Soup

Lots happened today. Eventful day.

Chester has his first fever.
Scarlett lost her molar.

Yesterday, I brought Chester to our weekly playdate and he wasn't liking it. Even though he cried but as long as I was close by, he managed to stay for about close to two hours. I get to chat with my girlfriends and Scarlett was there to kill her time rather than staying home. Chester's fever started in the evening and today it got worse. He also had diarrhea. We brought him to the doctor in the evening today and doctor said virus has entered into his stomach. 

We tried to think of why and where we have been. Feeling a little to be blamed too as we were trying hard to stay home all the time due to the horrible flu going on out there. Yeah, we have been out the last couple of days. He went to the dental clinic. He was seen lying on the floor of malls and rubbing those floors with his hands like he was swimming. Who knows. He also went to a playground and laid his hands on the floor of a roundabout stepped by many kids. I try not to stress myself figuring out why now. Better focus on nursing him back to healthy old Chez. The way he has been stuffing things into his mouth lately could also be the culprit.

Good news will be Scarlett spared from her teeth issue and now she can finally eat happily. She has been in a bit of mood probably due to her stress about her teeth. Now that the canine and loose molar are out, she is more cheerful. I think she mentioned she has 3 or 4 molars left to go.

As for me, I tried making minestrone soup on Wednesday and it was a success. I did not follow any recipe, just simply whacking in veggies and some sliced beef cubes out of instinct. Only thing was, I forgot tomato paste, which was then added by the head chef of the house. Tasted good. 

Praying that Chester will recover and heal from this, and that his body will grow stronger after this. As for me, I hope I get to have some rest too. I was awake most of the time last night checking on him. Fed him milk at 12 midnight and 6 in the morning as he cried. Feeling a little zombie-ish right now.
