Yesterday, I woke up in the middle of the night with a big panic. Shannen, who sleeps beside me, was kinda hot. When I took her temperature, it was 38.1 degrees. Her cheeks are so red. Gosh, I didn't know what was happening. She was very ok went we went to bed.
Esep-esep ako kung ano ang gagawin. Tinanggalan ko sya ng kumot (duvet), baka ma-dehydrate. Then gave her a bottle of milk. I checked her temp after 10 minutes. Bumaba na, 37.1 na lang. Although mainit pa rin, di ko na kailangang bigyan ng paracetamol. Gising ulit ako after an hour, nasa 36degrees. Nang nasa-trabaho na ako, minomonitor ko pa rin si Shannen. Normal naman daw sabi ni MIL.
Naikwento ko to sa kaibigan ko. Sabi nya, baka daw nag "overheat" ang katawan ni Shannen dahil sa kumot. Maybe the duvet was too hot for her. Mukhang tama sya, di kasi sanay nagkukumot si kulasa. Nung gabing yon ko lang sya nakumutan, duvet pa.
Malaking lesson sa amin yon. Kids' bodies don't work like adults'. Mas kaya nila ang lamig. Overclothing (in our case it's over-blanketing) them could make them generate more heat which can lead to dehydration. Hayaan lang natin sila kung saan sila comportable.

hi jink,buti naman at kahit nag panic ka.eh di mo naman naisipan dalhin sa ospital.Ang mga nanay talaga noh...Thanks sa pictures akala ko may pamangkin na akong amerikana si Shannen pala yun.At pogi si vince,balita ko makulit daw sya.
Hi G,
Ilang beses ng may nagtanong sa akin kung Kiwi daw ba ang tatay ni Shannen. Pero pag narinig nilang magsalita, ngek.... pinoy na pinoy.
Korek ka jan Jinkee! Sanay sa lamig ang mga bata. Mas malalamigin tayong ma-sho-shonda. Even my toddler son perspires in 15 degree weather if I tuck him in a duvet blanket at night. Samantalang ako nanlalamig ang paa.
