Monday, M fell sick again this Monday despite after our efforts to boost her immunity. 
However, we believe she did not get it from school. She came home fine on Friday and stayed well till late Sunday night, when she coughed a few times. I was not overly concerned then.
We had gone to a friend’s place for dinner last Sunday. M was happily chomping down her favourite noodles and pizza and we did not suspect anything wrong. I must say though that on the 19th floor, SQ’s place was quite breezy but it did not feel too cold. (M is especially susceptible to oncoming cold winds and sudden changes in weather.)
But when I heard M coughed in bed again the following morning before we picked her up, I had a bad feeling. To be on the safe side, I added some cough medicine to her milk and we headed for school. In fact, she was going on her first school excursion to the Hay Dairies goat farm and I was tagging along too. When we reached school, her temperature was still normal.
By the time we reached the goat farm located at Lim Chu Kang, M was beginning to feel warm. Nonetheless, she still got excited watching the milking session and taking a tour of the farm. Luckily the farm was a small one because by the end of that hour, M’s forehead was feeling hot!
On the bus trip back, she was really tired and grouchy, trying to sleep in my lap with the background of noisy children banter. Once we reached school, we picked up her bag and left. Her fever went down by Wednesday and she’s still coughing slightly.
Yesterday morning, we brought her to the Pasir Ris Park. And in the evening, we had dinner at a relative’s place and M was again back to her usual self. 
Let’s hope this will be her last time falling sick in 2009.
Happy Holidays!
