Vomit

Happy had vomited 3 times. the first when she was having her dinner, second was after she finished up around 100ml water, and the last when during her sleep. She did mention an abdominal pain but i did not thoroughly checked. Instead I gave her Manuka Honey active 15+, but she vomited straigth away. Thus to soothe her belly i did not give her anymore drink or food for about half an hour, but I rubbed her tummy with a mixture of onion and oilmen to calm it down.

I kept wondering what was the cause as she had just as normal in a day time. There was no sign of sickness during the day. Would it because of the weather? It was windy when she took a stroll but i put her on jacket. It would not be of any virus/bacteria have infected her stomach as she had no diarrhoea. I would not force her of drinking the electrolite solution as there was no symtoms of dehydration yet. I just hope the vomit ends tonigth.

My best friend came

The photo was taken on 25 June 2009, my best friend's daughter Ong Ziyi, with happy were feeding the fishes. The fishes were happily overfed as they just poured the foods without knowing that the fishes were floated.

About half year from the above photo,they were playing cashier together at home before lunch. they did not really know of how to play it, basically they just opened the drawer , made a withdrawal, and anyhow pressed the numbers. Happy was sick at that time and Ziyi just came back from Europe.

By different age of 6mths, Ziyi have shown more independent than Happy. She is much easy to be taken care of. Perhaps have been travelled around with her mom since small and without any babysitter at her side. On the contrary, Happy had a babysitter since she was born, and part of the spoilt occured was definitely caused by this.

Blackout...help!!

It was blackout and the weather was so hot,i felt air-less. Thus I brought Happy and Cherish to Emporium Mall to chill our body :)

Coincidentally, Happy bumped into her classmate, Floriana Hoei 3yrs+, who is few months older than her. She surprised me that she able to write all aphabets and her own name.

She likes the most to slide all the way down.

My 2 kids are sick :(

It has been more than a week, my 2 daughters are sick. Cherish got cough and flu, have controlled twice to a different doctors. The first doctor prescribed Cariamyl for cough, Breathy and Insudrin for her flu. After 4 days consumed the medicines, my judgement show there was no improvement of her sickness. Then i went to another doctor where he prescribed a mixture of few medicines (ventolin 2mg tab, Avil 25mg, Kenacort 4mg, mucopect 30mg, romilar 15mg, sacharine 10mg ) and antibiotic (Abbotic gran 30ml 12, CDR EFF 10S). The doctor advised to give the antibiotic if the sickness got worse after 3 days. I have been hesitating to give and after have been waiting for about 4 days, eventually today i give her. I pray hard that the cough will get better soon.

Happy had the same sickness as Cherish. However the cough came with a fever on her 3rd day.On the 2nd nigth fever, it hit up to 38.6, i gave her panadol every 4 hours and compress her head, then i put the cold fever patch on her forehead. The next day, the fever was slightly declined, i was still giving her the panadol but in duration 6 hours to make sure the fever is totally cured. However, things were not as planned. At nigth, the fever rise up to 39.2 (Armpit temperature measurement), my hubby checked the internet to find out more information about denque fever. Thanks god, happy did not carry any symptoms of denque. Thus, i could just sit down at side, pray hard, and merely compressed her head (Thats also the 1st time i saw my hubby shared the load in looking after her).

The next evening day, the fever was still there about 38.4, i decided went back to hospital, and asked for hospitilised her to avoid any risk that might happen during the midnigth and will get a precise treatment if the heat rise up to 39 again. However, the nurse was not advised me to do so as Happy at that time was still active, nothing serious yet to be concerned of. Simultaneously, she said that need to be infused if want to stay in, which i did not agree. Hence, i brought her home with mind not in peace, i was so anxious about her fever. Funny to say that, her cough and flu suddenly were not a main concern anymore as they were much better.

I have tried many ways to reduce her body heat,i.e., naked hug, heard that it could transfer the heat (she shy about it, and pushed me away..haha ..thought i shuld be the one that who ashamed of it).. put towel on every folded area of her body (my hubby didnot like me did that, disturbed her sleep). Finally, the fever was slightly better during that nigth and the next day her fever was getting better.

I gave her a chinese medicine "Phi Pha Kau" with the help of Manuka Honey MGO 100 on her first cold. However the cough was getting worse,then i decided to go doctor. The doctor had prescribed 2 medicines. One was for her flu+cough, another one was antibiotic. Meanwhile, though the first medicine left a quarter, antibiotic finished, the cough is not fully recovered yet.

After i have been putting so much efforts, at the end of the day her body was still weak. I put her on rest at home for 3days from school. She had missed the fieldtrip to Kidzania. I felt so sorry for her as I heard the place is the finest one for kids to play and learn. Currently, i am considering of giving her a school break for 1 term, in which fall on January-March. In order not to be drawn back of her academic, i am thinking of intensive tuition class. Anyway, I am trying to figure out what is the best for her health.

Cherish first trip flight to Medan

On 29 Sept 2009, finally i arrived at my hometown (Medan) with my 2kids and Mom after lebaran days were over. My hubby joined us few days later. Before on board, i was worried of them, afraid of Cherish not able to take the turbulence and Happy would not want to sit on her own. However, my worriness were not necessary, everything went fine. My 2 kids were sleep during the 2hours flight. Infact, Happy felt asleep first after a few minutes the flight took off and have said: Byebye Papa. Funnily, when she woke up after the plane landed and she still mentioned: Byebye Papa...i guess she still thought that the flight just started to take off. hahaha

I could consider it as a short holiday too. But actually this trip has planned last few months to pay the respect of my late father on 5Oct2009. It has been a year, but still just an overnigth to me. Everything is still the same, but now my dad is not around anymore. I feel so terrible when everytime i think of him. I had no chance to tell him how much i love him at his last minute in this world and so many words to tell... especially would like to say : Thank you dad for bringing me up to what i am now and sorry for any mistakes that i have done.
