Yesterday, Mummy & Daddy bot me to KK for my review. Remember the last time i was down with high fever & i was diagnosed with chest infection? Well, i was back for a review with Dr. Darryl Lim @ clinic K, Children's Tower, Level 1.
Dr. Lim says my lungs & heart looks alright from the last xray. No need for an xray again. He is more concerned abt my weight. I'm only between 10-25 percentile. The avrg is 50% of cos la. Dr. Lim taught Mummy hw to chart my growth & as long as i'm growing steadily, there is no cause for worry.
Dr.Lim also asked Mummy abt my milestones; whtr i can sit, crawl, stand, my feeding, etc... He is very positive abt my growth, indicating my eating non stop as good. (u see, i was eating my baby bites one piece after another while Dr. Lim checked on me. Haha). And he also listen to my heartbeat & breathing. All good. Dr. Lim gave Mummy an open date check up, valid for 1 year. If i need an urgent assessment with the doc or have any queries, Mummy can always call in to make an appt. Of cos la, Mummy hope i dun hv to "see" any more doc in KK, under emergency circumstances.

China Sichuan's Post Earthquake - Heart wrenching
Mummy: i hv been following up on the reports of Sichuan's earthquake. Everyday i flipped thru the newspaper & each day, more & more deaths are reported. Everywhere is in chaos. To see family members hugging each other in tears as their loved ones vanished, lost, died. Parents eagerly awaiting news of their young ones who were buried underneath all those heavy concrete materials. Parents howling away as they see their child, dead, being carried out from underneathe those rocks. Young children, as young as only 2-3 months being orphans. Kids who are only 7-8 years, without their parents, looking ard bewildered, lost, scared. What is their future gonna be like? Do they hv the courage to move on? Do they hv the will to live? Below is a write up on these poor little angels which i gt from last night newspaper:
<<去天堂的路>>
孩子，快抓紧妈妈的手
去天堂的路太黑了
妈妈怕你碰了头
快抓紧妈妈的手
让妈妈陪你走
妈妈我怕
天堂的路却实太黑
我看不见你的手
倒塌的墙把阳光夺走
我也看不见
你柔情的眼眸
孩子，你走吧
前面的路再也没有忧愁
没有读不完的书
也没有爸爸的拳头
但孩子，你要记住
我和爸爸的摸样
来生还要一起走
妈妈，别但忧
天堂的路虽然有些拥挤
但这里有很多的同学和朋友
每一个妈妈都是我们的妈妈
每一个孩子都是妈妈的孩子
没有我的日子里
妈妈，你把爱给其他许许多多活着的孩子吧
我会记住你和爸爸的摸样
来生我们还要一起走

Updates
Mummy: i had a tiring & horrid week since 28 Apr. Will let Rachel do the telling. Mua too tired...
04 May: Mummy was supposed to bring Kor Kor to Genius R Us for his baking enrichment class but halfway thru their class, Ah Ma called & told Mummy i need to go KK due to my fever was 40 degrees. Mummy gt a shock & rushed back with Kor Kor at once. Daddy met Mummy & both of them sent me to KK Children's A&E where a nurse did a temp check on me & asked Mummy some qns.
A sample of my blood was taken for a lab test cos the doc told Mummy i might be down with some sort of infection but wld need a test to determine wat was the infection, then they can presribe the correct kind of medication.
The wait for the results of the report was the most tiring. Over 1 hour...and during the 1 hr or so, well, u can guess...i was again very cranky, restless, i winced, cried...i dunno wat i want....unable to be comfy...Daddy & Mummy took turns trying to comfort me...
At long last, the report came out. i was found to be infected by some bacteria. The doc of cos cldnt give Mummy the exact kind cos there are thousands & one kind out there. The doc showed Mummy my report & told Mummy my infection level is on a high side cos the normal level is 7 - 17 but mine was 20 with H in brackets. H means high. Oh dear...Mummy's heart dropped.
The doc told Mummy that the next 3 days will be the most critical as these 3 days will determine if i hv to go back to KK again. If yes, most prob will be admitted. 3 kinds of medication was prescibe to me. Paracetamol for my fever, Augmentin (antibiotic) for my infection & bromheinx for my cough; to help clear my irritating phelgm. Mummy will hv to watch out for these signs/symptons:
i dun eat or drink well, refusal, lesser then half, etc...
i am restless, lethargic with sunken eyes...
my fever doesnt subside, etc...
05 May & 06 May: Mummy took 2 days leave to watch over me, praying & praying dat my fever wld go down, dat i am eating well, dat i dun seem restless or lethargic... Clock ticking...
07 May: My fever seems to go down, i dun feel dat "hot" anymore. When Mummy checks for my temp level, i always hover ard 38 degress plus minus. I do seem to eat well, in fact, eating more that i wan (which is good), i am very active, wants to play, back to my usual self. Mummy is very happy but still worries at the same time as my fever doesnt subside to the avrg which is abt 36 - 37.5 degrees (yes?)
08 May: Ah Ma told me my stools & urine are very smelly. My stools are like wat the doc have informed Mummy; it will be watery, somewat like diahorrea but nt to the extent of dat. The doc did tell Mummy nt to worry cos it wld mean dat the infection is clearing - the body way of gettin rid of unwanted toxin/bacteria.
As for the smelliness in my urine, Mummy take it as the body's way of clearing bacteria too.
09 May: Hooray! i hav passed the 12 hour mark without paracetamol. And my fever hv really subside. My temp always ranges around 36.3 to 37.4 degrees.
10 May: Still without paracetamol. My antibiotics medication finishes today. Mummy did a temp chk on me tis morning: 36.4 degrees...Yippee Aye Aye! Ah Ma hv told Mummy dat the last 3 days, i hv been very active & i cant stop eating...Muahahaha! Very good news for Mummy.
Mummy told Ah Ma nt to feed me anymore paracetamol cos i dun hv anymore fever. And also to increase my milk intake since i get hungry easily. i am nw drinking 5oz but hmm...nt all at once. Say, i can drink 3 oz now but within 1 hr later, i ask for another 2 oz. Maybe its becos i'm tooooo active so all my calories burnt up...haha...calories at my age?!
Mummy took alot of fotos of me on Thurs. Cos i appear to be very active when its already my bed time. And of cos, i readily pose for Mummy as usual. Mummy will pose the fotos of me. Catch my mischevious look!
Oh yes! 1 last thing. i gt an announcement to make. My 2 upper lateral incisors are out already. So in total, i hv 6 teeth nw; 4 upper & 2 lower. Keke...

Self Consolation..
And to console myself, found dat R's 2 upper central incisor has cut out. And they are nt cutting out one by one but rather 2 together instead. So nw they are of the same length (err..wat is dat call? height? i mean from the gums to where they are nw). The 2 white jewels are not js beginning to erupt, or some say, peeping from behind the gums but they are already out --- if u noe wat i mean.
So i gather tis is wat is causing R's high fever since 2 jewels are protuding out at the same time. I heard people saying dat when the upper incisors cut out, depending on each individual baby, the sypmtons are stronger. Hopefully, R recover faster so i can try...try ar...to take a foto of her with her 4 little white jewels & show all of u.
L, on he other hand, developed a high fever of 39.1 degrees early tis morning @ abt 5am lish. But he still as active, or shall i say, as monkey as ever. Maybe the bigger the kid is, the stronger the immunity. Thus, his fevr doesnt affect him dat much.
Watever it is, i pray dat my 2 kids recover as soon as possible.

Words spoken to soon...
Grrrr.... Rachel is sick again. Haiz! i js posted some days ago dat R have been getin better & i was so happy. Then now....She developed slight fever on Tuesday at my aunt's place. I wonder whtr it has anything to do with her falling off the bed on Mon night anot. But when dat happened, all she did was wince & fell asleep immediately. I did checked her head for swelling or bruise but nothing. So when my aunt told me she gt fever in the afternoon, my heart ache again. 心痛啊！
My aunt bot her to the doc's & was prescribe Paracetamol for fever, Prospan for cough & Horamine for flu. She developed all these all over again. Tues night, her fever reaches 39.8 degrees & she seems to be in a very cranky state. She winces, cries, turns left to right, sit up, lie down again, etc....she js couldnt sleep properly. I tried my best to sooth her, gave her water but she rejected, pat her but it seems she gt more irritated, sang some songs and she seems relax but only lasted for a few mins. i carried her up & she lay her head on my shoulders. She seems better in this position. I gathered she must be feeling "heavy" on her head, thus laying down on my shoulder ease her burden. She fell asleep in this position but whenever i put her down, she waked up & wince again lor...repeated pattern the whole nite...
Wed morning came. I sent her to my ils instead of my aunt cos at least at the shop, more people to help look after. The whole day, her fever seems to go up, come down & then up again. Never seems to return to the usual body temp.
Wed nite. Her fever returns to its peak at 39.8 degrees. Hb & i sponge her. We use ice pack on her, fed her lots of water. carry her, calm her, sooth her. She was so cranky the whole nite. From 11pm till 6am....
Today is 01 May - Labor Day!. R is still having fever. i took another kind of fever medication - Nurofen to the PD & ask for advise. This Nurofen was given to L the other time when he was sent to KK due to high fever as well. That happened 2 years ago when L was js slightly over 1 years old. The doc did mention dat if the temp is 38.5 & abv, to give Nurofen.
Okay. Alright to give R too. Every 4 hourly! 2ml. So medication was administered at 10.30am, 2.30pm, 6.30pm & later at 10.30pm. The older folks have their way as well; they took flour & egg, mixed into a dough & rub all over R's body. Even hard boiled egg.
Mil warned! No direct fan/wind at R. So last night, hb slept with R & L in the room. I took the fan out & slept in the hall for i'm someone who cannot do without at least a fan.
Just now at abt 5.30pm, i felt R's body temp. Much much better than tis morning; nt as hot already. But still its hard to say. And i js been informed, L also startin to develop a slight fever liao.
Is heaven playing a cruel joke on me? Why are my kids suffering one after another? I dun hv the answer! i js hv to continue praying that both L & R will be better day by day!
Can someone sooth, assure & calm me down? I need it!
