Caitlin and her red spots

It started with a few spots and by the next day, her face was covered with over 30 red dots. Of course we panic and immediately sent her to the doctor. Dr Kwan think that she's having a skin reaction but at that point in time could not determine the root cause. The good new is that she did not have a temperature.

I was on a 4-day course (from 19 to 21 January 2009) and could not take leave to take care of her. Creche is definitely out of the question. Hubby is only on the worst case scenario as his company is implementing cost cutting measure which includes having shut downs every quarter and he will be forced to take leave and if one's leave is exhausted, then they will have to be on unpaid leave.

Fortunately Aunt Jo came to the rescue. She offered to take leave and took good her of her for the next 2 days. By the third day, her spots have subside considerably and the creche is able to accept her.

Thank God for Aunt Jo and we hope that Caitlin will recover in time for her first Chinese New Year.
