Mun has HFMD

On Sunday, the day Jeng came back home for the first time, Mun suddenly had high fever in the evening. She was very grouchy and cried without any reason in the middle of the night. On Monday morning, as she was still not well and agitated, we decided to bring her to Dr Belinda. Poh brought her there and she was diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth disease without the hand and foot - her mouth was full of ulcers! Poor girl!

Unfortunately, it is highly contagious and she was not allowed to meet either Jeng or myself as I can be a carrier. Both of them went straight to my mom's place from the clinic to reduce contact with Jeng and myself. Therefore, began a week of agonizing stress!

We tried to not meet for at least a few days, but I missed Mun so much that I couldn't even stand a few hours! So Mun came back in the evening for a while but she was not allowed to touch Jeng or me. Poor girl couldn't understand why and we could see that she was equally sad when I couldn't hug her, especially when she was feeling so sick. At night, they sleep at Queens. This lasted until Wednesday when we decided to let her come back home as Jeng was OK and it was quite stressful for all of us.

The only upside to this was Mun could still eat quite OK even though her mouth was full of ulcers. Photos taken on Wednesday when she is back at home.
