Weekend spoilt

Can you imagine, my brother who had not visited us since July last year, came to Singapore and was admitted to TTS for dengue fever.

Ok, to start off with, he is not feeling well even when he is in Malaysia. Having fever off and on but since he had missed coming out during Chinese New Year, he promised my mum that he will bring his family out last weekend for visiting.

I think they came out last on Friday night. I was asleep by then because I am too tired to stay awake. The kids stayed up to wait for them but I am not sure if they stayed up till they got here.

Woke up on Saturday to find that mum, kids and Terence family had went out. Was left with Joelle at home but it was a quiet morning and I was actually glad that the kids are not home. Could read the papers in peace and do everything in slow motion which is not possible if the kids are in. Need to constantly keep an eye on them.

Mum et al came back by lunch time and Terence went off to sleep again. That is when I found out that he is not feeling well.

Stayed at home the whole day till late at night when I went to fetch James back from work.

Early Sunday morning, James brought the kids for swimming, I stayed home to look after Joelle as she still cant go swimming yet. Plan was to bring her for swimming when she is slightly older. I was thinking when she is about 1 year old, should be a good time to let her start swimming.

Anyway, Terence finally decided to go see the doctor on Sunday morning. Saying that he would like to go for blood test to see if he had contracted dengue. His wife, Elaine, was saying that it is most probably it as he seems to have rashes on his arm and legs. Told him that it is no use going to the GP as the blood test will need time to get back. Might as well go to TTS straightaway for checking.

Waited for James to be back with the kids and they came back at the same time as mum. Had a brief lunch then we set off to TTS and Terence conveniently forgot to bring his IC. James send Elaine and Joe back and collected his IC then return to TTS. Got there about 1.30pm, waited till 2+ before he gets to see the doctor, after the doctor had seen him, told Terence that he had to be admitted, so he is brought to another place to rest. It is already about 3+ then. Mum told us to go back first because Terence is suppose to be send to CDC to be warded and there is no bed at the moment. So we left for home.

4+, mum called to say that he is finally warded over to TTS because there is a bed for him. So we went to pick mum up at about 7+ and brought Elaine and Joe to see Terence. Elaine would have to take a few days leave from work because they can't leave today for Malaysia. Kids are happy as they can play with Joe for a few more days.

Wonder if Terence can be discharge by tomorrow. The last time, Jasper was warded for two nights. So if everything goes well, he should be out by tomorrow.

Didn't take pics of Joe yet. Have to take them by tonight.
