Hakim's fever seizure~

Hakim had fever seizure on Monday night, at 11+pm.....It was really scary. My heart just broke to see my baby in that condition. With eyes rolling up, hands shaking, not responsive, ...*Tuhan saja yang tahu perasaan Ibu*. I feel really bad, because I was sleeping and did not realise his temperature shoot up to 39.5deg. Thank goodness, hubby and me decided that I should sleep over at my mum's place that nite. Or it could be worse. Mak was the one who realise he was having seizure and wake all of us up and Hazwan was quick to call the ambulance.
The seizure last not more than 2 mins, but felt like forever! Hakim was admitted to NUH for a day. We decided to bring him home even though he's still having high temperature on and off because he was uncomfortable there. Not use to the hospital environment and refuse to sleep in the cot. He's still having his fever. Doctore says Viral fever will take at least 3 days to clear. SO we have to keep sponging him. My hubby, parents are taking turns to take care of him at nite because he can be fine one minute and have fever again soon after.
Tired *yawn* * need sleep* ZZzzzz

There is also a big Giant supermarket at level 1. There's is so many choice to eat at IMM with over 35 F&B like MacDonald and Swenson.

But what we love most is the Outdoor Playground and the Water Play Area located at the Rooftop Garden at Level 3. The downside is t it can get very crowded on weekends and really hot. So mummys, please bring sunblock and do take care of your little ones because there will be many older kids at the playgrounds.
