A day of running around

This has truly been a day of just running around... like realy running around... morning.. we were told that we would be able to pick up our new car.. (hurray!!!) and so we set off to the showroom at about late morning (so as to get come lunch as well)... Our Little One's nanny comes along mid morning to relieve us of parental duties so we thought our minds are at ease.. well for the moment since Our Little One had a bit of fever last night.. but after a dose of generic fever and pain reliever for toddlers, the fever was kept at bay.. so we thought.. all was well...

All WAS well till we picked up the car and drove home... Our Little One was awoken by our triumphant return.. and was really excited to see us.. and because (or so we thought) he was still recovering from his fever, was a little sticky and fussy... but oh well, what is a little more hugging and carrying him around anyway? But before we could carry Our Little One to see the new set of wheels, blood starting streaming out of his nose!!! Oh My GOD!!!! The Mommy flew into a panic and galvanised the troops and calvary (the Daddy and the car, not the new one, just the regular SUV), had the nanny pack the going out bag and once the SUV was loaded, off the family went to the hospital...

The Mommy's organisational mode kicked into action.. Once in the car, she began to quick dial the hospital's PD ward to inform them of Our Little One's impending arrival. She was given instructions to visit the Easy Access Clinic so that she can bypass the crowd at the Emergency Room. Once the entry was made clear, the Daddy drove as fast as the law and traffic allowed him and the whole family was in the hospital in good time. Unloading Our Little One was a routine that was well-rehearsed and in no time, the Mommy had registered Our Little One at the clinic and all the whole family had to do now was wait their turn. They did not have to wait long.

The nurse came along and took Our Little One's weight and details of his symptoms.. then the doctor arrived and did the usual checks, back, chest, ears, throat.. AH HA!!! the throat... as soon as the doctor's torch shone into Our Little One's throat, even the Mommy could see why Our Little One had been so cranky and fussy... little white-ish boil, appeared on a really red and angry looking patch on his throat... The doctor smiled and said that everything was all right, its a viral thing and the body has to clear it (well fight it and gain the immunity).. so Our Little One was prescribed more pain reliever and The Mommy and Daddy was also informed that Our Little One's fever might spike.. but he should be all well and good in a matter of a few days... and no school in the mean time .. so Our Little One is going to miss his R Brigade after just settling down last week...

But at least now the Mommy and the Daddy know what was wrong with Our Little One.. what a scare to see blood on his nose!!!
