Influenza B

15 April 2012, hari ni dengan rasminya Batrisya dijangkiti virus Influenza B. Malam tadi suhu badan 39.4C! pagi tadi terus bawak pergi klinik, dan doktor terus sahkan Batrisya positif Influenza type B. huhu.. risau mama, malam tadi memang dia beritau badan sejuk, lepas tu kepala pening sangat, tak boleh tido. Mama sapu minyak, urut badan dan kepala bagi lega. Malam tadi pun papa terus keluar beli ubat demam, bagi makan nasi dalam 2 sudu (selera makan takde), baru bagi ubat. Malam2 pun dia kata haus, terus letak sebotol air masak kat tepi katil. Kesian betul malam tadi tak boleh tidur, menangis la jugak dia.

Alhamdulillah lepas makan ubat kat klinik pagi tadi nampak dia ok sikit, tapi maybe tahan 8 jam je. Doktor pesan 2 hari ni jangan campur dengan orang, takut virus merebak. Sentiasa pakai mask sebab virus merebak melalui air liur dan pernafasan. Kene kuarantin jugak, risau mama dengan Haziq dan Haqem ni. huhu...

Act. minggu lepas Batrisya tak sekolah hari Khamis dan Jumaat sebab rakan kelas dia 4 orang kene Influenza. So sekolah bagi cuti 2 hari untuk kelas dia, tapi mama rasa dia bukan berjangkit dari sekolah tapi dari jidoukan (tempat permainan dalam bangunan). Hari Jumaat sebab boring sangat duduk rumah kami ke jidoukan kat area rumah. Batrisya nak sangat pergi, kebetulan cuaca pun panas, seronok la berjalan luar rumah. *Papa dan sensei dah pesan kurangkan main di tempat awam. :( Dapat cuti seminggu lagi, rugi pulak cuti sekolah lama2 ni. Moga cepat sembuh dan tak berjangkit kat adik2. Amin..
