Happy to be at the playground
T is really happy to be able to visit the playground regularly again. He’s sweating loads everyday because it’s soooooo hot. Sometimes we change the dressing once a day sometimes twice a day. There’s definitely a noticeable reddish looking scar … Continue reading

Still in hospital …
My last post was on Wednesday. It’s Sunday now but my dad is still in hospital. On Thursday, it was found that his wound contained multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRSA) so the boys can’t go to hospital to visit him anymore. On … Continue reading

Morning trip to NUH A&E
We bought T to NUH A&E this morning. The doctors on duty felt that the wound was already recovering on its own. He could not receive any stitches because it’s more than 24 hours since the fall and bacteria would … Continue reading

Deep cut on the forehead
As was mentioned in the previous post, the deep cut from his forehead came about because he tumbled four steps while we were on holiday. He was on his way to the pool but couldn’t manage walking down the stairs … Continue reading

Sweaty hair, biscuits, and yellow singlets
T is on his way to recovery! He ate 6 biscuits in the evening, started drinking water, allowed his teeth to be brushed (although very grudgingly and we had to put the iPhone in front of him throughout the brushing), … Continue reading

Could it get any worse?
Yes, it did. T had a nosebleed that lasted more than 10 minutes just after he woke up from his afternoon nap. The first 2 minutes or so, he was hysterically going about the house and dripping blood … Continue reading

Nosebleeds over the weekend
Heard from my mum that while they were at her house, K had one nosebleed and T had two nosebleeds (one of which was in the middle of the night at 3am).
We’re home!
Boys are goofing in the taxi ride on the way home. They were relatively well behaved throughout the short trip. The only inconveniences we experienced were all health related. T had a nosebleed on the second night. K was coughing … Continue reading

The nosebleed post a week ago received quite a lot of comments/views. This morning it wasn’t the big brother but the little brother who had a nosebleed. The blood was all dried up by the time I found out he … Continue reading

Cycling to the playground
The boys were very hungry when I picked them up from school today, so instead of the playground-first-then-dinner routine, we did it the other way round. The three of us finished dinner really early, I washed up, and we were … Continue reading

Back to school tomorrow
No more fever, eating and drinking about 60-70% of normal amount. So it’s back to school tomorrow. Surprisingly, the throat infection this time round did not cause an aggravation in his eczema. It only gave him a few nosebleeds, which … Continue reading

Didn’t Kaizer just have a throat infection in April? He’s having one again now. My mum took care of him over the weekend and I’ll be taking a day off to take care of him tomorrow. He’s a bit thinner … Continue reading

Fruits
On the week that Kaizer skipped school because of his throat infection, his class learnt about fruits. The teacher asked each student to bring a fruit so she could cut it up in class in front of them. We were … Continue reading

Wonderful neighbour
My neighbour (the one whom I get my tingkat dinners from) found out that Kaizer was sick and she cooked this for him last night. It’s a white fungus papaya soup that’s supposedly good for coughs. He didn’t take any … Continue reading

He’s slightly better now. Fever still comes on and off, but other than feeling really lethargic between 4.30pm – 5.30pm after his nap, he was quite alright the whole day. Listened to me read, talked to me, played with toys, … Continue reading

Kaizer’s fever didn’t go down so Kok Loon and my mum bought him to NUH just now. The same diagnosis, throat infection. Doctor who saw him thought that his condition warranted four more days of MC. So I’ll not be … Continue reading
