PBMT - Day 338

Adrian goes to school this morning as usual as the fever seemed to have gone and his rash is less apparent. However, we've cancelled the weekly fine motor skills training this afternoon and booked him for a doctor's appointment. Adrian spent more than an hour playing on his bed instead of napping. So Mama decided to bring Adrian for a haircut before the doc appointment. It was Adrian's second haircut and again, he sat still for the entire cut. It's until the rinsing part that he cried out loud as he's not used to lying down for a hair wash.

Overall, Adrian behaved very well... even at the doc clinic after the haircut & shopping with Mama before our appointment time. He was very patient with the doctor who closely examined his mouth, chest, bum and even foot (doc wanted to make sure he didn't get hand, foot & mouth disease). Luckily the doc ruled out the possibility of hand, foot & mouth disease and he suspected Adrian got some kind of allergies by either contacting plant or insect for which we had no idea what it was all about... Apart from the allergies, we also mentioned that Adrian has been coughing since he vomitted twice on the day of his CT Scan on Nov 4th. He coughed because he choked after vomitting, not because he has a cold. And the doctor seems to have a similar finding saying that Adrian's left lung is not as clear as it should. He then sent Adrian for a quick chest x-ray just to make sure everything was ok. Again, the x-ray was fine and the fever was mainly due to aspiration of solids (via vomitting) in his left lung. Adrian got prescribed some meds including antibiotics to bring home and hopefully he'll feel better.

Adrian was so tired, without napping. He needed to be carried and fussed half way til we got home. He skipped dinner as expected and only had milk then headed to his dreamland.
