Flu in the House

It started with missed Vitamin C routines for the kids. Every night before bedtime, they will chew 3 Scott’s Emulsion pastilles (mixed berry flavor). For the past weeks, I forgot to restock the vitamins so they ended up happily chewing on candies instead. Last weekend, DH decided to go for Datuk Latiff’s open house (he is a SDARA and Deputy Minister for Ministry of Defence) of which the crowd was massive (but less crowded than Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi – his next door neighbor). So, I guess some kind of bacteria must have gotten inside my precious angels’ lungs lah. Then the sok-sek episode started. Blocked nose but luckily no fever. I gave Nabilah 3 doses of Scott’s Emulsion and 3 tablets multivitamins with flu syrup to finish up before bedtime, slightly less dose for Najihah though. They recovered fast but still runny nose in between. Many of their friends were out of school so that warned me to keep up with their vitamins intake. I hope the GTC will arrive today, as Najihah is very keen to try out her new so-called ‘ubat susu’.. well, it is milk drink after all. Hehe.

 

I was not so lucky though, started to feel as if my throat was slashed and my nose blocked. I woke up to check my dishes on FB CafeWorld (I think DH served my cooked onioun soup lah..) and watched Desperate Housewive S6E3 online. Can’t afford to take sick leave so, I gobbled down DH’s non-drowsy flu capsule, 2 tables of Jia Hor Lingzhi and one Fishermen’s Friends cough tablet. So far so good as I can still drive and will be attending meeting this morning. Hehe.
