Another bout of stomach flu
Last week, Matthew was down with another bout of stomach flu. It started with 3x vomiting episodes on Monday night, then it was fever on Tuesday and diarrhea till Friday morning. No idea how he caught it. I was trying to recall what we did the previous weekend. On Saturday, we went to have MacDonald breakfast. In the afternoon, Auntie Jan visited with Cheng En and we went to Marsden after that. On Sunday, we were out the whole day. It was Marsden in the early morning. Then we went to Ridout Garden along Queensway before heading to Amara Hotel for lunch. We then headed for Marina Square and Suntec City.
With the bug going round and students from four schools affected, Matthew could have caught it anywhere. Things like this happened all the time, so it was just too unfortunate. This was the third time Matthew got stomach flu. Fortunately he recovered faster than the previous times. YiXuan caught it the previous week and is well now.
Today, Auntie Elaine reported that Ignatius is down with diarrhea and fever. Hope he gets well too.
