Poor baby

For the past few days, you didn't have good appetite, don't have good sleep at night, which is totally different as the usual you. You keep waking up and want mummy to hold you in my arm and sleep....so mummy has no choice besides holding you in my arm for a while, and when i noticed you sleep soundly, i will put you down on the bed.

And this morning,i called up Dr Tan and he advised me to bring you over to his clinic so that he can check more thoroughly. Daddy and mummy off from work around 4pm, rushed to pick you up from nursery then headed to Adventist hospital. Luckily when we reached there, it was around 4:35pm and we are Dr Tan's last patients. Not sure since when they took away the old weighing machine and replace with digital weighing machine.

After waiting for about 5 mins, Dr Tan called your name "Mr Kelvin Chiang" and guess what...you were busy looking at the 3 Americans in the paed clinic. Dr Tan called you little kay poh..hahaha..and here come the more exciting part. Dr Tan started to examine you, listen to your breathing and he said he heard wheezing..And when he check on your throat and ears, he found some minor infection on both. Oh, what a bad news!! Also, Dr Tan helped to clear the mucus from your nose and you were screaming at top of your voice! Dr Tan also suggested us to go for nebuliser to soften the phlegm, and when the nurse get it done for you, you scream, cry.....baby, i don't you don't like it, and so do i. My heart sank when i saw you screaming and crying throughout the session. I think it's about 5 mins, but to me, i feel like it's 5 hrs session. Furthermore, i have to hold on to you, block your both hand so that you won't push the chamber away from your face. It's a real uneasy session for you and me.

And guess what...we came back with big bags of medicine:-
Rhinatiol - for cough and running nose
Iliadin - nose drop
Bricanyl- for phlegm
Cadex- antibiotic for the infection
Ventolin evohaler - to release the lung muscle
Inflammide - to prevent asthma

Since you don't feel like drinking milk from bottle, mummy fed you using spoon. Thanks to Vernon's mummy's advise, you took close to 2 oz of milk, then mummy mix the remaining milk with rice cereal for you, and you finish it. After that, it's another challenging time for mummy as i need to feed you the medication. This time, mummy decided to be lone ranger, i hold on you and feed you the medicine. To our surprise, you didn't refuse taking the medicine, of course, you show discomfort, but, you finish all the medicines!! You amazed all of you, you are such a good and brave boy!

When we got back to our apt, you were busy crawling from living room, to kitchen, to bedroom...super busy. I let you play for a while then i let you have your Ventolin evohaler and Inflammide. These 2 won't cause me any problem as you like playing with the aero chamber. There is once, you took my breast pump and put it on to your face as if you are using the aero chamber. And lastly, i gave you nose drop before nurse you. You were pretty tired, i guess, you latch on and go to lala land pretty fast. I hope you will have good night sleep throughout the nite. One thing which i salute you, despite you are not feeling well, but you still very naughty, cheeky....Get well soon, baby!

  3. Children may lost the appetite when they are not feeling well. It is very normal. He will pick up later when he has totally recovered. Take good care of Kelvin. Poor boy.
