As usual the worry about the after effects of the injections is the terrifying fever that usually follows due to body reactions. Don't ask me the terminology how that comes about but that's what doctors tell us.
So two injections on both legs seem rather terrible isn't it and funnily I don't know what the jabs were for but for sure they were costly. It's part and parcel of caring for a kid anywhere in the world. What to do?
Anyway, we prepared the neccessary tools to fight the fever if it comes and yes, it did eventually. But then again, it's normal.
So we relied on his grandparents to care for Luca as we had a dinner to attend. After all it's a dinner to celebrate Sandy's and Geoffrey's birthday and at their favourite seafood place at East Coast.
After dinner we decided to head out to Marina Bay Sands to check out the casino. Not my first visit but Sandy's. So I had to arrange for Luca's grandparents to stay over at my place as we will be home late. Much later than the usual 11pm.
It was the first time they stayed overnight and perhaps the first time they'll face Luca throughout his sleep at night. We were worried at first if the little one would throw tantrums and I whether they were alright to manage him through.
As usual, they fared well BUT Sandy and I felt so guilty to see them sleeping on the parquet floor without a mattress. They could have slept on our bed or pull in the bed from the guest room too. They need not sleep on the floor.
Maybe if we have such arrangements again, we might place Luca at their place instead so they can be more comfortable. The next time will likely be months later when we go on a vacation but that's still unplanned.
Anyway Sandy and I enjoyed the night with our friends and trust me, it has been a long time since we stayed out till 4am.
