I hate that feeling of expecting something great and instead you get a slap in your face. I expected great time with relatives but Ada got sick… Yesterday evening it all started by Ada being a little bit cranky. She fell asleep at 19h,which is quite unusual for her. I measured Ada´s body temperature to be sure she is ok… and the thermometer showed 39 degrees!! Then the whole Odyssey started trying to get her temperature down. But it simple wasn´t working. During the whole day today Ada was never coming under 38.5 degrees. After a while she refused eating which made me suspect that we have a “throat problem” here. Luckily, we found a doctor in the city and got Ada diagnosed with tonsillitis. Just great. In any case Ada got some antibiotics that will hopefully work in next three days.
In meanwhile I wonder what is really better? Cool her body down to lower the body temperature or just wait? I have read by lowering the fever the agony is just prolonged because the bacteria, viruses are more efficiently fought in 39 degrees than in 37. But when I see Ada suffer I have big problems letting her fight the fever by herself…

Mrzim onaj osjecaj kad ocekujem nesto dobro i dobijem plesku. Ovaj put sam ocekivala super provod sa rodbinom, ali Ada se razbolila… Sinoc mi je postala malo kenkava a i zaspala je u 19h sto je vrlo rano za nju. Odlucim da Adi izmjerim temperaturu… kad ona 39 stepeni. I tako je citava Odiseja pocela sa smanjivanjem temperature. Ali nikako nije islo. Danas citav Adi nije pala temperaturaispod 38.5 . I dodatno je pocela da ne jede. Tako da sam pocela sumnjati nesto sa grlom. Srecom nadjemo doktora i diagnosticira je gnojnom anginom. Samo mi to jos falilo… Prepisan joj je antibiotik s kojim treba, nadam se, tri dana da ozdravi…
Nesto razmisljam… sta je ustvari bolje? Smanjiti aktivno temperaturu ili jednostavno pricekati da se Ada sama izbori s tim? Citala sam ako se smanji temperatura da se agonija produzi jer ipak tijelo ipak bolje unistava viruse i bakterije na 39 nego na 37 stepeni. Ali kad vidim kako se pati onda mi bude zao da je pustim… Ne znam ni ja vise…
