On the night Alycia returned from her vacation in Hong Kong 2 days ago, she gave us all a scare. When she got home from the airport, she appeared very frazzled and her cheeks were very rosy. After her dinner, she told us that she was very sleepy and so she went to bed at around 9ish pm, which was very early for her.  At around 1:30am, she got up from bed and cried… which was a very rare incident.  She hardly cries these days.  First she said that her hand was very painful. There wasn’t any swell or any scar on her hand so daddy massaged her hand with his Perskindol deep heat   cream for pains in the muscles and joints.  After crying for about an hour, she told daddy that her leg hurt.  First pain in the hand, then pain in the leg.   Worried, daddy wanted to bring her to the hospital.  I told him that it’s not necessary as the doctor would probably just give her some painkillers and tell us to observe her.  I know those MOs in the ER too well!    I told daddy that we should just wait and see what happens the next morning.  After telling us that her hand and leg were achy, Alycia then complaint that her tummy was painful this time, haiz!    Minutes later, she said she wanted to eat biscuits!  I said no to her request as I didn’t want her to eat sticky and sweet food at 3am.  I then fixed her some milk which she finished.  After finishing her milk, Alycia requested daddy to play cards with her, which dadddy did at 3:30am!   After playing cards, it was already 4am and daddy could not open his eyes any further. He told Alycia to lie down on the couch in the living room and turned on the TV for her to watch Disney channel, whilst he slept on the floor to accompany her.   Alycia watched TV for about 2 hours before dozing off on the couch like this:

Daddy was so dead tired that he slept until 10am the next day.  As for Alycia, she woke up at 9am, then went back to bed after breakfast and slept all the way until 2pm.  When she woke up, I asked her if she had anymore pain in her hand, leg and tummy and she said no.  I think Alycia most likely overworked her legs and hands when she was at Disneyland!  And she really gave us all a scare that night!
