Down but not out

Gabriel fell sick for the first time on 21-Sep-06, just one day short of 10months old. He was down with flu and fever. He cried at 1:00am. Mom gave him the pacifier but he just spat it out. Mom realized that he has difficulty sucking the pacifier because he can't breathe properly. Poor Gabriel! It is like being stoppered all up. I took leave in the afternoon after getting to know from Ying that he has fever. Upon reaching home, Gabriel greeted me with the usual enthusiasm. He felt a little warm but was still running around (legs as well as his nose) in his walker. His appetite was normal too. He is still hyperactive as before. Anyway, mom and I took him to a clinic for medication. Mom asked Gabriel to tell the doctor, "Doctor, doctor, make my nose walk, not run".
