No strenuous physical activity for two weeks

It’s back to school for the kids this morning. They are still recovering from dengue and being refrained from engaging in strenuous activities at school. They should not participate in sports and activities required by their physical education subject. My daughter is supposed to perform a dance number with a group for her values education class wherein performers are required to wear breeches pants. My daughter declined the part although inside her she wants to join her classmates. Even if she’s not performing with her group she remains happy for them. The group will still use the music that she uploaded for the presentation.

Dengue Rashes

Rashes slowly appear on my kids’ skin as their fever subsides. The rashes are itchy and generally present on the arm, hands and lower extremities. The   pinkish to  reddish rashes are just like pin sized dots and unsightly to look at. I’m afraid that my teenage daughter would get conscious of her skin if the dark blemish won’t disappear like scars left by adult acne.
