Kids being ill during the early days in Malaysia

19 December 2009

The kids have been unwell for a week especially Luqman, who developed a high temperature and lost his appetite. He is now on Antibiotics and he has become my hot water bottle at night cause he needs to be cuddled to sleep. Since arrival, the kids have not ate well despite the abundance of food and choice. It is an appetite problem. I tried to make them their favourite meals including baked potatoes and cheese, nasi lemak, briyani, tuna sandwich but they only eat a little.

I think it must be the heat. All they want to do is to drink and drink...which is good I guess.

Anyway, this lack of appetite though only lasted for 3-4 weeks Alhamdulillah then, they are back to their old self. Malik however, my son who never had an appetite in the first place lost a lot of weight and it was very scary to see him all skins and bones. Finally, his appetite too improved.
