All About Your Child

Remember my “Worries Like None Other” post regarding Keatkeat’s sinus? Never did I expect God to answer my prayers in such a way….

The term 1 Teachers-Parents Meeting on Saturday was rewarding.

Not only did I confirm that Keatkeat’s “Dreamy and Slow” characteristics have not improved since Nursery and is now threatening his teacher’s patience….., but also found out the reason why the Chinese and Maths Tests were arranged on the Same day (read yesterday’s post).

Yet, NOTHING beats Seeing the wash basin IN THE CLASS which had Saved my boy’s nose so many times over the past 2 months.

Keatkeat did tell me about the basin a few days after school reopens. The instant relief from untying that dead knot was Awesome! Extremely grateful!

So all I want to say is “Thank You Dear Lord for keeping my boy in Your Good Hands.”

I am not sure if its Measles, Mumps or Rubella. Remember my niece, Z.Y. was sick on Sunday? Two days later, red itchy rashes came out on her tummy and her back. My Chinese + Cantonese-speaking MIL could not tell me what it was in English, obviously. I ended up guessing what it was. But after Googling for a while, I realised it was neither of the 3.

MIL just called again today and told us that little W.D. is infected too. So Sunday’s usual gathering is cancelled. The last thing she wants is to get all her grandchildren down with this ______, just one week before Chinese New Year.

2 days ago, Keatkeat’s running nose was at its full run, causing discomfort to his throat as well. It was so disturbing, he vomited. Luckily its not the return visit of his Bronchitis. *phew*.

The good thing was, after that vomit, he was so much better, nose, throat and all. The bad thing was, he vomitted while he was half asleep on a new bedsheet which was changed 15mins ago! *eyes rolled*

In the mist of waking him up, his hands swept onto his vomit, and leaving a trace on the floor as he dreamily walked to the toilet. Instead of smelling the nice fragrant from a freshly washed bedsheet that night, my room smelled like vomit!

Is this the famous Pre Chinese New Year sickness trend? Allan is sick and so am I now, for 2 days already. *shake head* The lucky one, as usual, is Binbin-totally happy with his life of good health. *Smile*

…. might come true afterall…. its a warning sign….

Over and over again, I had stressed that my greatest fear is to see my boys wearing glasses. Personally, I hate glasses. Though its totally on the opposite side as to why I started wearing one; and with EACH SIDE pushing towards the 1000 mark. *eyes rolled*

I scared them by doing this video. And they took heed till this day. So that video really worked!

The school educated them with these colourful stickers and they are still seen everywhere in my house.

I tried my best to prevent my fear from coming true, since there is still no conclusion to my research on whether myopia is hereditary.

Today Keatkeat told Allan before we set off for school…
“Papa, teacher put me at the last row. I cannot see some of the words on the white board.”

Allan instructed ‘his Secretary’ (a.k.a Me) straight away….
“Write a letter to his teacher and tell her about this.”

And so the secretary wrote (Damn! I should have just took a picture of my letter and could spare me the time from typing it now. *eyes rolled*)
“Dear Teacher, Zac* told us that he has trouble reading the words on the board ever since he had been placed at the back row. We have had his eyes checked few months ago. No signs of myopia.

He would like to sit at the first two rows, but he dare not request for it. Do you think you can grant him his wish by moving him forward? Or do you think we should send him for another eye examination?
Please advice.”

Today after school, Keatkeat announced, “Teacher change my place again. Now I am sitting in the center of the class. And I can see the words on the board clearly.”

I just cannot resist but Clapped and cheered “Yeah!” loudly!! Now, who cares about keeping a nice image in public! *eyes rolled* I Am Happy and I just had to show it with  Sound and Motion!!! *Grin*

***For those of you who may have missed my ‘Official Post’, Keatkeat is now known as Zac in school.

This year, my birthday (tomorrow) might be celebrated differently from the past……

Instead of being served, I might be serving this year. Instead of having our usual family birthday dinner treat, this year I might be spending time at home serving this:

Keatkeat is still not well yet.
Just how bad is his situation (in case you missed my heartbreaking post yesterday), its 1 cough every 8-10seconds in bad times and 1 cough in 30seconds in better times. Only when he is asleep, silence is golden. Yes, I had nothing better to do, when Keatkeat asked me to sit beside him, to hold his hand when his head is pressed deep down onto his pillow; I counted his coughs every minute. *eyes rolled*

I watch you hold the bin
Liquid of all sorts
Thick and thin
Colourless or Yellowish
Red was on your face
Water flowed from your eyes and nose
As you continued to gagged
Its been countless times over the past 48hours
You!
Remained calm
When the ’sessions’ were over
All you said was
“Mommy, I feel better now. I can take medicine already.”
or
“Mommy, I need to drink water now, ‘cos so much water has come out from my body.”
or
“Mommy, I want to rest now .”
or
“Mommy, don’t worry, I will be well again very soon.”
You battled with this since 2 years old.
You know your body so well
I cannot resist but listen to your wishes
No food
Just Milk and water was your order
Because you were willing to hydrate
Your temperature has lowered
Because you did not fight your gags
Your phelgm are almost gone
Bronchitis
Your once biggest enemy is but a ‘no big deal’ now
Keatkeat,
Mommy Salute You

Yesterday night, we were back to our original sleeping positions. Finally! The ‘roller’ is OFF my bed. Was there unwillingness? Nope! Binbin slept like a log. *giggle*

Ok, Keatkeat is officially well (a long time ago).

Binbin still have occasional cough and you can hear that his phlegm is clearing up. His nose is not ‘running‘ anymore, but rather ‘jogging‘. *wink*

Allan is still struggling with his phlegm, other than that, his cough is definitely less frequent now.

And me?
I am a survivor indeed! Physically tired but mentally OVERJOYED!!!

I am perfectly well now. No sore throat. Errrr… just a little headache, probably due to my over-excitement for tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, offers to help, well wishes and love.

*Muack* You are the BEST!

Went to see the doctor this morning. Did you ask “WHO”?

ME !!!!

*faint*

Woke up with a very bad sore throat and headache. My family doctor suspects that I could not be spared from the H1N1 virus that’s living within my four-walls now.

I REFUSED TO LISTEN AND ACCEPT. *Aaarrghhhh*

12th days of close contact. I had been well, haven’t I? So would I get it after 12 days?

The doctor said it is possible. As I spend time to take care of them, I may not be resting as well as I should, hence my immunity system may be lower as the days drag on. Furthermore, so long as the patient is still sick, he is still infectious.

*AAAAaaarrrrggghhhhhh*

Its true that I have not been having good rests for the past 12 days. If you have been following my small updates here over last week, you KNOW that its IMPOSSIBLE for me to have a good night rest. How to??!!!

Since Binbin fell ill, he has been sleeping with me. He is such a ‘roller’!!! If his cough doesn’t wake me, his ‘one-leg’ and ‘one-hand’ would. *shake head*

I declared Keatkeat ‘Well’ just 2 days ago, didn’t I? Guess what? He vomitted this morning. Why? I have no idea. But gave him that vomitting medicine straight away.

Binbin is still coughing and having running nose. The phelgm has lossen. Easier to cough them out now. *smile*

Allan’s cough is obviously getting better, because he is back to his ‘chatterbox’ being again. Too bad, his communicating partner’s throat is too sore to respond.

Damn! When will all these stop?!
