We are actually a bit apprehensive to go to our small trip to Bellevue since the night before Dustin was a bit feverish and is already coughing a little. He even threw up before sleeping soundly around midnight but my husband decided that we go since we’re already on leave from work and that we already have our reservations. Anyway, it’s just like moving to another place, a better more relaxed environment for the sickies. I’m not saying our house is a very stressful place pero it’s the hotel, we will be treated like royalties so sige at go na kami. The only thing that changed was we didn’t go to Enchanted Kingdom and Fun Ranch just as planned, we stayed in the hotel almost all day and had small trips to ATC just to dine and buy something. Other than that, we just lazed around the hotel.

January 3, 2009. Saturday.

I was busy checking everything in the morning. Dustin even took a nap before we left. We checked in around 2:45 PM and got room 1216, a non smoking floor. So before exploring the hotel, we hang around our posh room first.

Then we checked out the pool area for the first time. I was surprised to see kids still swimming at 4 PM. The water was really cold and cool wind was blowing. The pool is located on the 3rd floor and it is an outdoor pool.

Then we decided to take more rest before going out to ATC for dinner. I didn’t know that ATC is a semi outdoor mall. We had to walk and feel the cool breeze around the place and it would have been a nice treat if only my son didn’t came out from a fever. So we let him wore a fleece jacket and under that was his green long sleeves. We didn’t removed his red cap too. Dee and I  were brisk walking like crazy people around ATC while the husband carries our son to look for a nice place to dine. We were thinking Friday’s but we want to try something new so we ended up dining at California Pizza Kitchen, their prices are like Fridays. We paid almost 1,500 Pesos for a pasta and a pizza and 2 bottomless drinks. A bit expensive for me, to think their servings are not like Friday’s. But we were okay, full for the night. Then we dropped by a store to buy this…

Truly a great pick me up after a very stressful night. I cried a lot over a comment that my husband said. Then my son had 38.5 fever around midnight which made him cry a lot too and Denon carried him for 3 straight hours, he cried whenever Denon puts him down and worst is that he doesn’t want me to carry him so his Dad can rest. By 3 AM Denon gave up and really got tired too and handed Stinny to me even if he cried. So, I decided to just let our soon look outside our window and see the Christmas lights on the road and all the call center people who were still out in the streets instead of forcing him to sleep. There were cars once in a while, so that’s a treat to the sick boy. Before sleeping around 4, he vomited once and drank milk. So technically, our first day ended on a Sunday already. Read More…

Let me borrow Aggie’s title for a minute because in my family, the holidays are indeed not yet over. Just today, we had my Dad’s family and my Mom’s family come over for lunch. I (including the husband and the son) stayed in our room almost all day since the son is resting from his fever last night. His pedia thinks it’s over fatigue, well he is coughing once in awhile and vomited once but I only heard him cough twice while he was sleeping last night and he coughed four or five times the whole day today so I guess nothing major about that. Dustin’s been going out of the house often, he even played around High Street for half a day when the termite exterminators had to do their job before New Year’s Eve. He usually takes a total of 4 hours of nap during the day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon but with the Holiday rush, mahaba na ang 2 hours for him. Then puyat pa lagi, he’s used to sleeping around 8 pm or 9 pm pero since everybody is busy, usually 10 pm na siya natutulog and wakes up at quarter to 7.

Anyway, we still have an activity tomorrow, he’s a little feverish pa, usually his temperature is 36.6 pero since this afternoon, it’s 37.3 or 37.5, I find it hot already but his Pedia said it’s still normal. We’ve decided to push through with our Bellevue trip, since naka-leave na kami ni Dee for Monday, sayang naman. The doctor told me that Dustin should drink lots of fluids, take paracetamol every 4 hours – round the clock and REST! So, he will do a lot of resting in Bellevue for the next 2 days. NO MORE Enchanted Kingdom for us, the husband still wants to go but I said no. We will be spending most of the time in our hotel room whether the husband likes it or not. Dustin will be very tired if we go to EK on Sunday, I told Dee that we’ll see if we can visit Fun Ranch by Sunday, so we have to settle at ATC lang. We’ll just bring gadgets to pass time and maybe keep Dee company when he takes a deep in the hotel’s pool, bumawi na lang siya sa breakfast buffet. LOL.

I hope Dustin feels better and gets better by tomorrow morning. Ayaw ko rin naman kami maghotel nang masama ang pakiramdam ng bata. Di rin kami mag-eenjoy kahit nasa hotel kami. I, myself is feeling a bit fussy kasi my throat hurts tapos parang I have clogged nose. The husband on the other hand is feeling much better with his colds, kasi he’s taking meds already. I just hope things gets better before we check in at 3pm tomorrow.
