Human swine flu victim

It's official

I have contracted the flu. Papa noticed on Saturday how my whole body was burning hot. He let me play for an hour out in the midday sun (Mad dogs and Englishmen, what?) after judo, and thought I had heatstroke. I had a temperature for two days, so Papa took me to see Dr. Max yesterday. Grandma met up with me at the doctor's surgery, and she also visited me at home, bringing me drinks and a new toy.

The Doc said it's 90% probable that I have the swine flu. I am to visit him again if the fever doesn't go down today, and he will give me Tamiflu. Papa got worried when he found out Tamiflu has some nasty side-effects on children. Fortunately, my temperature went back to normal by the time I woke up. I'll stay at home to rest today. Grandma arrived first think this morning.

Midnight visit to hospital

Duncan was ill since school started last week, and this week, I have been at home indoors for 4 days. I didn't go out once.

My two upper front teeth are getting very wobbly. With my two teeth sticking out, Duncan says I look like Mater.

On Tuesday, I lost my upper right front tooth. I woke up a few hours later and told Papa my ear hurt. Luckily, we live next door to a hospital, and Mummy and Papa took me to the Emergency immediately. The doctor saw to me and I was back in bed one hour later. Doctor said I had an middle-ear infection, and that I should stay at home and rest. I am not allowed to go swimming for two whole weeks.
