First Neb in 2011

Brought Reia to see PD today.

Her airway is small that caused the thick phlegm to be trapped inside and she cldnt cough it out. So no choice, neb is required to break the phlegm and another course of Antibiotics is inevitable.

The one that the GP gave was merely for the cure of throat and not the phlegmy part *sigh*

In Year 2008 - she had 2 neb

In Year 2009 - She had 1 neb

In Year 2010 - No record

In Year 2011 - She had 1.

Due to the clean record in Year 2010, she was given a "2nd chance" explained by the PD, else she could possibly develop into Asthma (high risk)

Grounded for a week

No Swimming, No playground - in the nut shell, no vigorous activities.

To prevent from getting Pneumonia

If she was in Pr 1, she wld be given one week MC from PE.

All Rs are Down

First it was Reia, then the virus caught up to me.... which ultimately passed down to lit' R.

Poor baby, fell sick at the age of 2 mths old, So much said about breastfeeding babies have stronger immunities. Pui. Anyways, their immune system takes a while to develop, so it's pretty easy for them to pick up bugs. Oh, and my mom gonna nag that i always bring Reina out - be it Rain or shine.

Brought her to visit PD in Single-parent mode yesterday Waited for ard 2 hrs *roll eyes*

So what Dr diagnosed was

1) Sensitive nose, pretty blocked actually (genetic)

2) Eczema ard face and neck area (same as Reia)

3) Cough but lungs were cleared.

Ard 9pm, Reia vomitted on her bed whilst sleeping and i threw away the bedsheet.

Ard 12am, Reina also vomitted on me whilst burping and i threw away my clothes

What a way to end the Year 2010

Reia's mini Recital

Last Tues, the parents were invited to their music class (12 - 1pm) whereby the kids will performace individually. Luckily Im still on my Maternity leave, else would have missed it.

From my observation of Reia, she was kind of losing her concentration by then and her eyes were shooting blood red. She must be feeling tired and wanted very much to take her nap. Immediately i msg my hub - No More Late Night movies. She must be in bed by 1030 else she could not survive.

Their Music lesson are quite interesting. Kudos to sempi for that.

Im quite impressived.

Her lit' performance on the keyboard.

To 姨妈，

you can duet with her when U are back! I will make sure she will practise that song. haha

Substandard Treatment

Let me tell U why the 2nd child is so 苦命

Substandard 1

Reia gets NEW clothes, NEW cot, NEW stroller, NEW sterilizer... Everything is NEW

I did not even buy anything for Reina before she was born.

 

Substandard 2

when i was preg with Reia, hub always accompanied me to the prenatal checkup - without fail.

With Reina, I went to the prenatal checkup alone from 16 weeks onwards. I used to pity those preggy who went for the checkup alone without their partner. Ironically, I'm one of those that ppl gave a pityful &/or Oh-so-poor-thing kind of stare wondering if im a single-parent. *duh*

Substandard 3

Reia has a pediatrician to manage her every stage of development - in good health or in illness

Reina only has a general practitioner. Did a comparison on the cost of the vaccination.

For PD, 6in1 cost $440

For GP, 6in1 cost only $268.

The con thing abt GP is that they dont really assess her growth. I will still bring her to see PD if she's not feeling well. Im not really that cheapo to put my girl at risk

Nevertheless, Her life will be overflowng with our Love -

That's Standard!

Lit' Cub First 6in1 Jab

We were a bit late in bringing Reina for her 1st jab - All thanks to her daddy's busy work schedule. Of course, I cld bring Reina to jab myself but I want to video her so no choice, got to fit into his timing.

/*lit' cub already 5.08kg at 7 weeks!! my milk sure is powerful!! */

/*The moment of pain*/

Doc advised us to feed her a dosage of paracetemol when we reached home.

During evening time, she began to feel feverish.

The amount of blood she'd lost :(

/*A recap of her jiejie's 1st 6in1 jab =) */
