Hello again, HFMD

Yes, you caught the bug again.

This time around you had it worse. Mama really cannot bear to see you suffer.

13Nov, Fri

you got home, papa showed me the spots. mama was praying hard that it wasn't hfmd.

14Nov, Sat

looks like we cannot deny it anymore. the spots are spreading and more visible. Day care called, 2 more cases found. I told teacher Winnie,

"I'm afraid... it's 3..."

15 Nov, Sun

Papa placed 姐姐 at the church, while he sent us to the clinic. We went to see dr. Tan. We could see that the symptoms are similar as the last time. It has spread beyond your hands, foot & mouth ( as the name suggests).

You seem to enjoy the morning out of the flat. When we walked by Ghim Moh market, you were so happy and no longer grouchy! - you are like me =)

It was apparent that you could not swallow most food. you won't dare to drink from the bottle.

This worried mama, cos that means your intake of fluid will only depend on direct latch on.

Mama continued to pray. God will ease your pain.

Today you ate. Papa & I are so relieved.

Some of the bumps on your hands and legs have ballooned. A few broke. I tried not to let you see how sad that makes me feel. My heart aches when I see the bubbles on you chubby legs...

spending some time on your own
