An Extra-Ordinary Dad

Child, Health, Parenting, Videos

A friend sent me this email and I cried….

A son says to his father: “Dad, would you be willingly to run a marathon with me?”
The father, despite his age and a heart disease, said “YES”.
And so they ran that marathon, together.

The son asks: “Dad, can you run another marathon with me?”
Again father said “YES”.
So they ran another marathon, together.

One day the son asks his father: “Dad would please do the Iron Man with me?”
Now just in case you wouldn’t know, The Iron Man is the toughest triathlon
in existence;
4km swimming, then 180 km by bike, and finally another 42 km running, in
one stroke.

Again father said “YES”


You have to see how extra-ordinary this father and son were in the video clip below:

Atopic Eczema ~ Follow-Up

Child, Health, Parenting, Toddler

nscToday we went to Singapore’s National Skin Centre for a follow-up on Binbin’s Atopic Eczema. Read here if you want to know how serious his case is.

I’m so glad that the doctor say there is an improvement. Anyhow, he still prescribed a milder steroid this time as compared to the first visit ~ Dhacort Cream. We are supposed to go back for another check-up 4 months later…. but I requested for an open date instead.

We have a hunch that it might be orange that’s causing the reaction, but we are still in the ‘testing’ stage. Its more or less under control now, so we’ll act as we go….

(pop over to my personal blog to read how crazy I was over books after Binbin’s checkup)
