Justin was diagnosed with influenza A on Monday after having fever during the weekend. The week before, Papa and Jonathan were down with a cold. Both tested negative for influenza virus. Symptoms for Justin were relatively mild, fever around 38 degrees for the first day to 39 degrees. He had a sore throat and cough. The doctor prescribed him tamiflu and fever medication.
According to school policy, students who had influenza A had to stay at home for 5 days. Jonathan had to be at home for 5 days as well, only to return to school if no fever arises during the quarantine.
Justin is feeling better now. His fever has subsided and he is very active at home. He had a great time blasting his Christmas carols the whole day, singing along and pretending to be a deejay. He read his books and did some drawings. We also played some alphabet games with Jonathan.
I had a chance to engage in some baking therapy today. With some ripe bananas at home, I decided to try out Banana Bread from allrecipes.com.
Fresh from oven
Packed into a container
I tweaked the recipe by adding walnuts and raisins with less sugar. Adding some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg enhances the flavour of the banana bread. Alternatively, put the batter in muffin trays and voilà!, you get lovely muffins too!
This settles breakfast for tomorrow!
