Pre-Japan trip...but poor Dear Dear fell ill

This weekend we prepared ourselves for our upcoming Japan trip next week. Went to the tour agency for briefing and Dear also got himself a smart casual jacket. Guess we were in a happy mood on Saturday. Unfortunately on Sunday morning, Dear fell ill. He started with a slight fever and I urged him to see a doctor so that he can recover in time. 2 hours after taking his first dose of medicine, Dear started to have fever chills.

It was quite a scary experience as it happened while we were driving to my grandma's place for lunch. We were almost reaching already when the sudden fever chills came upon Dear and he started to shiver quite badly...all this while he was still driving. We could not really stop to change over, so he drove on. Lucky it was only for a short distance more. After that, Dear really shook non-stop for a while. My family all got worried for him and all were busy getting him to lie down, cover up and put medicated oil all over his forehead! The afternoon was thus resting time for Dear while I took on the role of looking after him and checking his temperature every now and then. He hit a high 39 degrees at one point. Anyway, was really glad that he felt much better by dinner time, though he is still not fully recovered yet. Just pray that he will be well in time for our trip...
