hfmd diary continues...

tea-time routine!

You are enjoying the time at home really!

The saddest part I guess is when 姐姐 and papa goes off in the morning. Other then that you are happy.

You make me laugh so much!

Found myself saying,

"Hanah! you are sensational!" In deed you are. =)

you love doing this recently

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.

16Nov, Mon

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

Get well soon, precious bee!

The cycle did not really break.

You did not really recover from the horrendous cough.

Was it teething? Was it a bug in the day care?

Then there was the fever, then more sniffy nose, more cough, now diarrhea and the dreadful nappy rash.

so many medications to be applied & taken...

Mama feel so helpless so guilty.

Praying hard for all to go away! Amen!

My precious one, get well...

so it was in the ear...

You have been ill for more then 2 weeks now. Under Dr Tan's advise, Papa & I brought you to a pediatrician to give you a detail check.

Dr Ravin confirmed that you have a "middle ear infection". Now, you are on your way to recovery.

Thank God! Yeh!

non-stop moving at the doctor's office!
