9 Months On...

and asyraf still gets the flu and runny nose at least twice a month. each time the bout would last about 2 weeks, so basically he gets the flu and sniffles almost throughout the month.

its been like that since he was born and i just pray it will end soon. i cant imagine waking up to tend to him every hour (like we're doing now) when baby no 3 is born. i think we'll go bezerk!!

this time around it started with fever. he has slightly high temperature for a couple of days. we gave the daycare instructions to give him paracetamol and not stop even though he cools down. it worked, within 2 days, he was no longer hot. then it came...the dreaded flu. flu comes hand-in-hand with phlegm, which brings cough, which welcomes throwing up sessions, be it during the day or at night. and of course, bucketsful of clothes, towels and bedsheets to wash. and yes...public enemy no 1...ants!

we took asyraf to the nearby clinic on saturday. he also had an eye infection. we think its due to him throwing up when he was sleeping the night before and it went all over his face. the infection may be contagious the doctor said and it moved from his left to right eye the next day. thank god it wasnt bad and its almost completely gone with the eye drop.




unfortunately after 3 days he was still throwing up and waking up every hour. so i took the day off to bring asyraf to his regular pediatrician. off went whatever medication the clinic doctor prescribed and on came new ones from dr azizi. hei...so many doctors, so many ubats. i dont care what medicine they gave as long as it makes the boy drowsy!

today he seems a wee bit better. i could have a nice lunch while he slept, i even managed to do some grocery shopping without interuptions. now he's having a short nap and i hope he'll be better in a day or two.














and 7 months & many, many mileages on...i'm getting swollen ankles and the occasional contraction attack (the worst was last night, i thought i would faint from the pain...)
