Oh.. I am sick again

When wai po tucked me to sleep last nite (2 dec 08), she suddenly feel I was feeling warm. So qiao tat mommy just came back and then took my temperature.. it’s 37.8-37.9. so mommy, daddy and wai po quickly finished dinner then rushed me to the KK hospital to find out what’s wrong with me.

When we reached there at about 845pm, the queue was long. After we cleared the pre-consultation and registration, we went to the waiting area, there are so many babies and small kids pasted the same cooling pad as me…the queue was moving so slowly and I began to feel tired and wanted to sleep. Mommy carried me over shoulder and walked around and I started to feel drowsy… but I missed my bed, my pillow and my blanket. So she decided to put me in the stroller, I finally dozed off inside.. maybe I am just too tired.

see, i still look cute with the cooling pad.

when my number was finally called at 10pm plus, i was extremely tired. being woken up from my sleep is one thing, the other thing make me angry is that the doctor kepting talking to daddy abt his dengue rather the focusing on me. "who is the patient here?' so i screamed to show my dissatisfaction. when he finally turned and checked on me, i was extremely cranky, i cried screamed and shouted to the point of hysterical. but the doc simply walked off and asked daddy mommy and wai po to pacify me. then he used the tongue presser and made me gag... i felt so uncomfortable and puked. in the end, he just gave me some paracetamol and tat's it.

for the next one day or so, my fever hasn't subsided. it went down after i took medicine, but it shot back when the medicine wore off. then mommy and daddy got worried again and sent me to the thomson medical centre to see another PD. after doing urine and blood test, can only show i got some viral infection.

when the situation didn't get better, daddy and mommy decided to send me in the hospital for monitor. call them gan jiong spider. after spending two nites at the hospital, i am finally well again. ooohhhh... i dun want to be sick again.

i still played as per normal while the adults are so worried over me

do i look like Harry Potter with that scar?

My new sleeping pattern

Recently I realize I can sleep better sideways…esp on the left side. So every time mommy or wai po put me to sleep, I will turn to the left side and fall into dreamland very fast.. but the downside of it… I will turn and turn and ended up on my tummy, then I will lift up my head and wake up.. and since I dunno how to flip back by myself and then will scream for help…. Mommy said the record so far is I can wake up up to 4 time a nite.. It certainly causes some interrupted sleep for wai po and mommy.

more and more new toys

Daddy and mommy bought a few toys for me.. hahaha

1) The fisher price activity walker
As they said the traditional walker is not good for babies development, mommy is eyeing for this for quite long time. Finally tat day we saw it on offer at toys R us and immediately bought for me…but I dun think I can start using it yet.

2) ring stacker
This is to improve my motor skills leh.. the last time we went to see the PD, he said my motor skills development maybe slower than the rest of the babies due to my big size.. mommy is determined tat it won’t be true.. so hopefully this will help. Anw, now I am only interested in biting the rings.

2) leapfrog learn and groove activity station
Mommy bought this preloved one from the forum and carried it all the way from yew tee back to bishan alone. Now it has become another activity station for me as it trains me to stand up.. hahaha tell you a secret lah.. actually mommy was eyeing a evenflo exersaucer.. but too bad…

Baby Darren is Sick

Today (24 Nov 2008) daddy and mommy brought me for the review cos for the past week, I was down with urinary tract infection and was on antibiotics. It all started on last Monday morning at 230am, i cannot fall asleep cos I felt warm even in the aircon room. So I tossed and turned and kicked away my blanket… mommy woke up several times to pull the blanket back…but I was still fidgeting away and felt so uncomfortable that I started to yee yee orh orh… then mommy must have sensed something wrong with me cos she took the thermometer to measure my temperature… oh it’s 37.9. she gave me one dose of the paracetamol and put the cooling gel pad on my forehead. Daddy was saying to rush me to the hospital, but mommy said to monitor first. After the medicine, I was still tossing around, but after a while, I guessed I was just too tired, so I finally fell back to sleep.

In the morning, the temperature shot up to 38 degree again, daddy and mommy quickly dressed up and rushed me to the paediatrician. After a few questions by the doctor, he asked the nurse to do a urine test for me. As I am only a baby and has no control over when I want to pee, the nurse put a little plastic bag around there and ask mommy to monitor… so now we just had to wait for me to pee.

me with the gel pad stuck on my forehead.

Meanwhile, it’s past my nap time liao and I really felt sleepy but cannot sleep. So I screamed to show my unhappiness. Mommy, daddy and auntie, no choice have to take turn to carry me walk walk.

Finally I pee-ed. And mommy called the nurse to do the test for me. She did the dipstick test twice and confirmed it’s urinary tract infection. So we went to see the doctor again, he gave me the antibiotic and fever medicine. For the rest of the week, mommy used the syringe to inject the antibiotic into my mouth… but I dun like the medicine even it’s syrup with strawberry flavor.. I always spit out the medicine… mommy is the bad guy who is holding the syringe… when I see her, I know she is going to feed me the awful medicine.

Luckily it only lasted for one week. At the review today, the urine test is clear… yippee.. but as a precaution, dr suggested to do kidney ultrasound and MCU… I dun understand all those jargons but mommy has heard of MCU before as one of the aunties in the forum has posted the procedure before and is painful...

Sigh… more tests for me…
