Fever....again

Ash was down with a 38.3 degree fever on Friday morning, so took the morning off and brought her to see Vanessa. She was checked and thankfully HFMD or dengue were ruled out...for the time being.
At about 9:30pm, her fever rose quickly to 39.3 degrees even after having taken Brufen. We rushed her down the KKH A&E and spent the next 7 hours there waiting to be attended to by the doctor, for her blood sample to be taken, urine sample (this was the hard part since she was de-hydrated and we had to force feed her water to get a urine sample), wait for the doctor to interpret the blood and urine test results. Urine test results were negative, so her fever wasn't due to UTI. The blood test results did indicate a viral infection....which was expected. Finally got home at 5am.
