The inevitable has come, Jed is not well!
Jed was complaining of sore throat this morning, but felt fine after breakfast and was a happy little boy playing all day non-stop. Unaware of anything, Anita even took Jed to the library for story time, to swimming lesson and let Jed play with daddy. It was until tonight, when she put Jed to sleep that she had realised Jed was rather warm. It was low grade fever, but the house is in alert.
Quarantine is a must in the Chan's household. Everyone has to wear mask to avoid further spreading of germs/virus. Knowing Reg's immunity is low, Anita must decide who she should even sleep with tonight, and she has decided to better stay with Jed, since she most probably got the virus from Jed already. It is definitely safer for Reg to be on his own.
The family does not know what Jed has got yet, but they are praying that Reg during this time did not catch anything. They know they are in God's hand and can only plead for mercy to spare Reg from getting sick as well.
Reg's right hand has also swollen up. They have decided to wait and watch. They just prayed it is similar to last time and nothing to be alarmed. REg has also been feeling extremely low in energy, hopefully it is not the virus from Jed.
Anita on the other hand felt guilty to have taken Jed to the indoor play area yesterday knowing it is easy to catch bugs from other kids especially in such hot weather. Yet facing the hot weather and trying to find an escape for the whole family, it was a hard choice. Anita is aware all these are part of the package with all cancer patients in terms of the risks and side effects, yet she is now torn between both Reg and Jed, and to complicate the matter, she is indeed the carrier of germs/virus. It is too late to reverse the event of today but she knows she could seek her mighty God for help and know for certain, whatever happens in the end, God is sovereign and He is the One who holds tomorrow. Much prayer is needed for the household.
