Today is Richard's birthday but last night, he received the best gift ever.

The prettiest girl with fever that I've ever seen :)

His princess has been nursing a high fever since Saturday night. Yesterday morning, we brought her to a pediatrician for check up. Turns out she has tonsilitis, so she was prescribed with antibiotics and paracetamol then sent home. But, in spite of the meds and sponge baths, Aly's temperature was a constant 39 degrees throughout the day. Richard and I were very worried but my sister assured us that this was all part of tonsilitis. She also pointed out that Aly's going to be ok since she hasn't lost her appetite and she was still able to do normal activities (she watched Extreme Makeover all day). But still, as parents, you can't help but worry. Father's day and birthday plans had to be pushed aside because all we wanted was for Aly to get better.

Richard waited until 12 midnight so he can give Aly another dose of Calpol but when we took her temp, the fever was gone! 37 degrees. Like nothing happened. Alleluia!! Aly's shirt was wet with sweat so we had to change it but we couldn't be any happier because that was a clear indication that the fever was gone.

Thank you, Lord for making Aly better. Sana magtuloy-tuloy na. She's really looking forward to spending her summer break in the Philippines. Plus, it's really the best gift that Richard can ever have on his birthday. When we found out that her fever was gone, it was a huge relief for both of us. I think he was able to sleep well last night. We can't ask for anything more.
