A long bout with viral fever

Finally, after almost a week and a half, Ethan is already free from fever.

He's had fever on and off the past week, just a couple of days since we arrived from Manila. We thought it was just a passing diarrhea, but it turned out to be viral infection. And it had hit Ethan with diarrhea, fever, skin rashes, cough, and colds the whole of last week. He was ok though, he was still very active and jolly, but was little more clingy than his usual self, especially to Lani. 

We feared that it was measles because there's an epidemic in the Philipppines, and we were just there. Worst is, Ethan's MMR vaccine is not due until this March. Thanks God it wasnt.

Ethan is recovering now. He hasn't had fever the past 2 days, but his pupu is not back to normal yet. His appetite for solid food is still down, but he drinks a lot of liquids (about 5-6 bottles of 180ml milk a day) so not much of a problem there. He lost a lot of weight though, but nevertheless, he's still the cutest boy.
