pneumococcal dose 1

immunisation = fever.

poor Dayana is down with the fever today. we took her to see the paed Dr. Koshy again yesterday, this time for one of the optional jabs. we brought along her toy phone to occupy her with, so she wasn't wailing as much like she did when i brought her to see the paed last week. we didn't know which jabs were suitable to be given to Dayana at her current age so the paed advised us to take the pneumococcal jabs, there were three doses in the list so yesterday she was given the first dose.

Pneumococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus. It may cause pneumonia, meningitis or a blood stream infection (bacteremia).

Symptoms generally include an abrupt onset of fever and shaking or chills. Other common symptoms may include headache, cough, chest pain, disorientation, shortness of breath, weakness and occasionally a stiff neck.



Dayana started crying as soon as Dr. Koshy took her to the 'meja penderaan'. lol. and that's even before administering the jab. hee~~~.

we need to come back again next month for her second dose, then the last jab to complete the pneumococcal dosage would be when she turns a year and a half.

oh yeah, the nurses weighed her again, her weight increased to 7.1kg. haha.

went to Subang to drop off Norehan's gift and some belated souvenirs which i never got around to bringing with us whenever we dropped by the house, but the whole family was out having dinner at Subang Parade, mil forgot that i wanted to drop by after work *smacks forehead*. Significant Other had a conference call and had to go back home so we met up at a gas station instead nearby our place. their flight left for UK at 10am today. fil asked me whether i wanted to kirim anything. hmmm. what's there to buy in UK? please enlighten me. i have a week to think about it before they return.

so today Dayana is at home with a slight fever. hope she'll be okay. Significant Other is at home too, on MC (conspiracy with Dayana? O_o). and i got stuck on federal highway this morning for almost an hour of stop and go traffic. geram geram!

today i got lost in KLCC basement parking. lol. first time entering via season pass. i've come to realize that basement parkings are actually really spooky.

i met Mister 'Pooky' today at the food court! whee... =P~~~ which was a pleasant surprise. hehe.
