False Alarm of HFMD!

As usual, we sent Vera to school. The centre called me at 11.30am on 5 May 2008, MOnday and requested me to bring Vera to check for HFMD again. So, no choice I have to arranged my mum to pick her up. At the same time, we brought her to the polyclinic next door. She was sleeping and tire when her turn of consultation after about 2 hours of waiting. The Dr straight away give her 10 days MC and said that she has HFMD.

To us, we did not believe that Vera was infected. However, as responsible mother, I called up the centre to inform and at the same time I informed Church. She was at the baby room and celebrated her 2 years old birthday with kids.

Yesterday was Thursday. I went to see Dr and brought her along and hopeful that Dr can check on her and certify her to be fit to return to school. Thank God that she is not infected. How could she get infected when there is no other cases happened in the centre so far. Dr gave me 2 days MC to rest at home and give her a letter to return to school on her birthday, 9 May 2008. I rang up and school and SMS church to inform. All are delighted that it was false alarm. Now the centre is cleared. Parents will be happy to send their kids back to school again.
