So this video is a little bit unexpected

It just kind of has to happen we have to push things back

Basically Wolfy is sick today

He has a slight fever

He had a 38 degree temperature all throughout the night

He is at like 37.8 this morning

so we couldn't take him to the nursery

So I pretty much need to take a day off

Maiko and I are pretty tight on our production schedule

As you guys probably noticed we do a lot of collaborations

once something like this happens

we really can't hold to the schedule because it just throws

everything off even one day kind of

pushes everything back one week

So instead of having a regularly scheduled video

You're going to be kind of hanging out with me and Wolfy

and his sick day here in Japan

And like always if you

guys want to see what I'm doing on the daily

There you go and

Oh you want you want to sit here ?

You want this one ?

Okay

how you feeling ?

What's that ? Is that sausage ?

Are you having fun ?

Are you wiping your face with mommy's sweater ?

Wolfy

So Wolfy usually eats a snack at around 9am at the nursery

It's a bit past that

But we decided to feed him anyway

You know when kids are sick you're just

happy that they're eating any time of the day

That's good ?

Yeah

We love Wolfy so much and

cherish all of these moments we get to

spend with him especially since we're

both working parents

we're completely aware that we're not gonna get this time back

so when we do get a chance to take time off

we wanna spend it with him when

he's happy and healthy

so we can all go out together

But what can you do in these type of situations

Oh

Wolfy : Oh !

It's a little too much

You gona help me get some ice ?

Wolfy : Yeah

Oh and this is one of our weekend routines

Wolfy loves to help me make my morning shake

Knowing that he could barely walk just a little bit ago

Its crazy to watch him carry the step stool all by himself now

[ clock ticking sound ]

Obviously it takes a little bit more

time for him to do things

But we think it's important to let him get involved

in as many activities as possible

Plus it's just super cute

Wolfy : Mama

Wolfy : No ?

Oh no !

I need to get the nutritional yeast over down there

Wolfy: Oh no !

I need two tablespoons of that one

Can I give him this ? He already had one though

Maiko : You wan't it ?

Wolfy : Yeah

Just a little bit ago

We had to take an entire week off of work

since Wolfy shared a room with a nursery teacher

who caught COVID

Luckily Wolfy didn't catch it himself

But the nursery was forced to

shut down services for a week

at that time

we were about one week ahead of our production schedule

but that week off with Wolfy

brought our schedule back to zero

wow you gotta open it first

What many people may not completely understand

is that many of the videos we create these days

take several weeks if not months to come together

so even uploading one video a week

is a large undertaking for us

You want more ?

Are you eating my chicken ?

Just like this last week or so

he's been really

clingy with daddy

I'm not quite sure why

I'll open it

So it's gone up just this last couple of hours

So I think we might need to take him to the doctor

Wolfy : Daddy !!

and of course he spills the juice

Not sure how it is in other countries

But Japanese nurseries don't accept kids

with a temperature above 37.5 degrees celsius

99.5 degrees fahrenheit

and since COVID they're even more strict with this policy

parents are asked to take their kids temperature at home

before sending them to nursery

and then when they arrive the teachers will take

their temperature again before they're allowed in

these days many nurseries and schools in Japan

are calmly having to temporarily shut down

because either the teacher or one of the

students tests positive

so it's no surprise that schools are extra careful

I think its fine

You want your shoes ?

Wolfy : Yeah

Wolfy : No

Okay ready and let's go

[Music]

Okay so it's right before lunch

But his fever is starting to go up a little bit

so we decided to take him to the doctor

to make sure he's okay

and gets some medicine in case it gets worse in the afternoon

[Music]

In Japan kids medical fees including

prescription medicines are all free

covered under basic insurance

It's quite common in Japan to take it to the doctor often

In fact medical fees for adults

are relatively inexpensive as well

really good job my dude

so many adults will go to the doctor regularly

even for the common cold

Just ask Maiko

okay so that went a little bit unexpected

basically I thought I was gonna go in

and just get him some medicine for his fever

maybe some throat medicine but

The doctor actually recommended that we

get a PCR Kensa or a PCR test

Yeah I don't think Wolfy was really expecting that

and whatever you call it little

stick inside of his nose really hard

He didn't enjoy that too much so it's a

little bit hard getting him out of there

yeah we'll get the results in a couple days

so we'll see

Maiko : Are you okay ?

Yeah so

Basically um since he had a fever

we had to get a PCR Kensa

Oh really ?

For well he didn't have to

Can we check your temperature ?

no

no

We can't check your temperature ?

Let's take your temperature real quick okay ?

Today Maiko made a rice porridge with green onions for Wolfy

But it doesn't look like he has an appetite at the moment

Eating only four to five bites

It always breaks her heart when he struggles like this

hopefully a good nap will help him recover

All right so

There you go Wolfy is asleep

that was a

lot easier than normal I wasn't

expecting it to be that easy usually it

takes him a little bit longer but I

think he's just so tired we did get him

to bed a little bit later than normal

He should be sleeping for about an hour and

a half two hours so we do have a little

bit of time to kill but you never know

he might wake up really really quickly

It's been a long day for him already

It's been a long day for me already

I'm sure Maiko as well

So while he's sleeping I'm gonna go

pick up this medicine at the pharmacy

I dropped off the slip

but it takes about 30 minutes for them to fill it

so I also have a

kind of a video coming up with this food

production company and they want me to

take a stool test so I gotta go drop

that off in the mail and then we should

be back hopefully before Wolfy wakes up

He didn't eat as much as we wanted him to

Just before lunch but he's just super tired

so maybe when he wakes up

He'll probably be hungry and then

we'll continue our day

let's do all the rest

of this stuff while he's still sleeping

and then

we'll take care of Wolfy again

all right let's go

Hey, So

I got burrito, I got the medicines

We are back it is just a little before two

so hot it's starting to get spring-like outside

It looks like wolfy still asleep

so we have a little time for lunch

How is he doing ?

I went to check on him his feet are

kind of cold so I think his body's

temperature is going up still

and he was like

he just took out the stuff from the back

and then but his face like with this

area is like burning up

It's always worrisome when he gets these fevers

and

as you can see I've got like no work done whatsoever

It's just it's just like

super tough when he gets sick you just

you really can't do anything because

you're pretty much attending to his

entire like all of his needs

Maiko is gona go check on him

Wolfy : Mama

Maiko : No ? You don't wana sit here?

Good Morning !!

Wolfy : Mama, Daddy

I can give him the medicine

Maiko : Which one ?

Wolfy : Apple

Since his fever has gone up to 39.0 degrees celsius

102.2 fahrenheit

we decided to give him the fever medicine

we usually mix it in with his favorite juice and

his favorite anpanman cup

to help it go down easier

good job

Wolfy does seem to enjoy sick days though

as he doesn't really get to watch TV or play with iPad much

but on sick days we make an exception

it helps him relax and forget about the pain

Also I'm not sure if it happens to other kids

but when Wolfy cries a lot

he has this kind of gag reflex which makes him more

likely to throw up his food

even more so when his stomach is unsettled

we try to avoid this as much as possible

so after waking up looks like Wolfy is

still a little bit high on his temperature so

I think for the rest of the day we're gonna pretty much just

chill and just and make sure that he's

not over exhausting himself

one thing though we're gonna be stuck inside of

this house for a few hours

I would love to just like take him outside and take

him to the park or do something but

probably best for him to stay here

should I open it ?

Wolfy : Okay

Okay

hold it there and then put your

so ever since Wolfy started nursery
