Hi readers, thank you for sticking around even though I was not for ONE Week. *super hugs*

My PC was set up only yesterday. There were so much unpacking, allocating and rearranging to do, PLUS having a *cough cough* kiddo around, there was no way I could get any decent work done on my PC; therefore it was the last thing on my to-do-list.

We are obedient patients.

Since the doctor advised that an X-Ray was needed if Binbin shows no sign of recovery by Wednesday, 11th April 2012, which falls on the same day as our big move out, we sent him to KK Hospital even though it was already almost 11pm after the ultimate basic stuff were settled.

Yes, he was still coughing every other minute and slight fever remained on Wednesday.

However, he could not even get through the first round of examination. The examiner rejected Allan’s request for an X-Ray to be done (I was at home with my sleeping 8 year old). The examiner said based on what he sees and hears, Binbin does not need an X-Ray.

Since our purpose of going to the hospital was for an X-Ray and it was turned down, Allan brought Binbin home without waiting in queue for at least 2 hours (that was what the signboard said) to consult a doctor for medication.

Which also meant that no money was spent for this trip, other than the parking fee and the cost of the petrol.

I did not bring Binbin back to see my family doctor as he said that the medication he gave to Binbin were pretty strong medicine already. The medication could only make him feel better but not a complete cure. Binbin still needs to avoid windy places, air-conditioned places, dusty places (which we can’t because of the big move out) as well as refrain from eating and drinking cold, sweet and fried stuff. Only then, will Binbin truly recover.

So we kept giving him VERY warm water to loosen the phlegm and to warm his throat.

For ONE FULL WEEK, no school for him. Though the MC was only for Monday and Tuesday, I wrote a personal letter to the school to excuse him for the following three days.

Yes, after being sick for 11 days he is FINALLY back in school yesterday, with occasional slight cough.

Maybe he missed school too much, he was so excited over his piles of school work due to him, that he finished ALL of them in less than 1 hour after he came home from school! *laugh*

What made him even happier was a confirmed trip to Jacob Ballas Garden Today! Thank goodness he went back to school in time for this ‘so-meant-for-the-Green-Binbin’ trip. *giggle* Yes, my nature-boy loves the trees, plants, flowers, birds and insects!

Well, good and bad too.

It poured when they were there and the teachers refused to allow the children to use their umbrellas!!! Only raincoats were allowed. So Binbin and many other students who did not have raincoats were drenched.

Guess what?!

He came home coughing more now… *sigh*

 

Went Hospital but X-Ray Request Rejected
