Stomach flu Day #2

Yesterday evening, mummy and daddy thought of admitting you to Adventist as you doesn't have good appetite since your last intake of porridge at 2pm. Mummy called up Dr Tan around 6pm to inform him in advance and his advise is to monitor you and decide around 8pm to see whether is there any need to admit you. After that mummy gave you suppository to stop the vomiting.

Around 8pm, Dr Tan called up to check on you, and since you are sleeping so Dr Tan asked me to monitor you again and he will be in Adventist ER at 9pm. Mummy thought you will be fine, and who knows when you wake up from sleep, you seems a bit warm. The other symptoms comes out, fever! So again, quickly mummy call up Dr Tan and informing him that we will be going to Adventist as you are getting cranky.

You sleep all the way to Adventist and when we were in ER, you pointed the patient bed to mummy and mummy let you rest on there. Guess what, you saw the big pillow and you rest both of your legs high and you actually attracted the attention of lots of nurses. 4 of them came by and shake hands with you. Happily you shake your hand with them without any fear.

Later, when Dr Tan check on you, the scream scream scene take place. You were shouting your lung out, but no choice, Dr Tan need to proceed on the checking. He found that your ear has minor infection and this could cause vomiting too. And what now? Of course put you on antibiotic. Mummy doesn't like this, but we have no choice. After that, Dr Tan gave us 3 options,
1. Take you home together with antibiotic, monitor you
2. Take you home without antibiotic and monitor you
3. Admit you
Initially daddy and mummy thought of option 3, but Dr Tan sort like choose opt 1 for us as he said admitting you won't make the cranky situation become good as you will still be cranky due to you will feel very uncomfortable with the needle on your hand. He keep assuring mummy that mummy can call him up even middle of the night if i need any advice. Also, Dr Tan doesn't charge us for consultation fee. Such a good doctor huh! He wrote us the medicine prescription then we proceed with the payment and get medicine from pharmacy. On the way back, you also fall asleep in the car.

When we get home, you keep asking for milk and mummy dare not give you too much, and of course with the 1oz of milk, how can you go into your lala-land? So we have to keep distract you. Mummy even try to breastfeed you and you push me away! I guess this is a sign showing that i did successfully wean you off from my breast huh! So daddy get the task to distract you and sing lullaby to you....and after few round of in and out from the room, finally you go to your lala-land!

You sleep well throughout the night and mummy wake you up at 5am for PCM. Then you continue to ZZZzzz again until 8:10am. You wake mummy up as you poo-ed!

  2. Based on experience, refusal of the breast does not necessarily mean successful weaning. SOmetimes when baby is sick, he will refuse the breast, but he will want it again, when he is well. Take care and get well soon, Vin boy.
