Bronchalitis

Five days of school and the girl got sick.

It started with a slight cough (which began on day 3 of school) which turned into wet, chesty sounding hacking and a low grade fever. I thought it was a regular flu but it turned out to be bronchalitis.

Thankfully Kisu convinced me to bring her to the paed, otherwise I wouldn't have known how serious it was. We were told to keep her at home for at least a week as she was contagious.

She was prescribed an arsenal of medication - I didn't like the idea of medicating her so much but her coughs sounded pretty bad and were affecting her sleep.

So, 5 days of school and 7 days at home (childcare is good business, man)

Thus begins the going to school-falling sick cycle.

She's back at school today - and I'm bracing myself for the next episode.
