We brought Kendrick for his 3 month old immunisation jab on Friday morning. Surprisingly, Kendrick slept long through the night and woke around 7am. That was just nice to feed him and then get ready to bring him to the polyclinic for the injection at 8plus. He was pretty well-behaved when the nurse checked him and also asked me some questions. As at now, Kendrick weighs 6.5kg and has grown to 62.5cm tall. According to the nurse, he's in the 75th percentile, so that's pretty fine. With the doctor, she also did a routine check up for Kendrick and we were quite surprised to note that he was very alert and turned left and right when the Doctor shook a rattle toy to test his response and hearing. He also 'talked' to the Doctor a little and smiled, hence named 'Ji Zha Gong' by the Doctor :) He was fine otherwise, so paid for the 5:1 jab for Kendrick. I guess by the time he took the jab, Kendrick was already feeling sleepy so he just started to nap when we had to wake him up. That's when he started to get very grumpy and cried and continued to do so after he had the jab. Took us some time to calm him down and get him to nap again.
Back home, perhaps the tiredness of the morning's outing caused him to sleep quite long. We were warned that he could have some fever so we fed him one dose of medicine first. Kendrick was fine until evening...that's when the fever started to kick in. Dear and I actually took him out for dinner and walking around and he was really well-behaved. Towards the end, he actually fell asleep and forgot about his milk time. That's when I suspected he may have fever. Back home, we checked and indeed his temperature was about 37.6 deg. Fortunately, he was still quite ok. Had milk and took medicine and that night, he slept pretty fine. By the next morning, his fever was still not really subsided yet, so Dear and I decided to give him a little bit of cold towel on the forehead to keep him cool. Thankfully, after another does of medicine and rest, he was finally clear of the fever by night time.
Though a little cranky over the 2 days, Kendrick was still relatively well-behaved for most of the time. Here he is responding calmly to the cold towel...
The medicine seemed to have some drowsy effect as Kendrick slept quite a bit in the day time
