Thank you for all the well-wishes to Binbin! The fever was totally gone in the evening yesterday. Only 3 rounds of diarrhoea today. Still the jelly type. A lot. Which is a very good sign too. (3 years ago) Keatkeat’s condition didn’t fully stop till the 10th day because his was always in small amounts. So I believe Binbin should be totally free from diapers in no time.

He feels awful wearing the diapers again since he had been fully toilet trained more than half-a-year ago. But I really needed to wrap him up to prevent me from extensive washing. Every time he farts, a little would spit out of his tiny hole; and boy-oh-boy he farts a-lot. His tummy is constantly pumping the extra air out of his ass, making all the high pitch and low pitch watery sound. – well the consolation part is Binbin laughs almost every-time he creates music from his bottom.

He is suffering too because he can’t eat! Eating IS his hobby and his favourite, like most of you know (after that post) are vegetables, fruits and dairy products. Things that are a straight NO-NO for anyone who is having a weak tummy.

The only thing he need not give up was his plain water. I never had to worry that my boy doesn’t drink enough plain water. He drinks in-between play, when he is watching cartoons, when he is doing his colouring….he drinks almost all the time. All I need to do is kept refilling his bottle of plain water which I usually placed it at the coffee table for self-service.

The banana hanging above the basin, the cheese in the refrigerator, his milk, his broccoli have suddenly become forbidden food. He understands. He doesn’t complain. He just kept saying, “Mommy, when I get well, I can eat that, right?…..Mommy, I am getting better already, right?…..”

Yes, my dear. You will get well soon….This is the worst sickness Binbin ever had….Suddenly I remember this year’s “curse” on people who were born in the year of the Rooster. Like Lydia, my Bear-nin, Binbin’s bloodshed during Chinese New Year…. somehow I just can’t help but relate Binbin’s sudden sickness to it. ….

Ah-ya…..don’t think too much. Which kid doesn’t fall sick? Just that Binbin is an “abnormal” kid who hardly fall sick, that’s all. Right?
