2011 has begun but it has been a very tough start. This week has been a trying and tiring week for me. I've gone back to work but my kids are still sick and hubby is overseas.
On Monday, I was suppose to go back to work but alas, No.1 and 2 were still sick; No.1 with fever and No.2 cough. Looking at the situation I figured that my mom probably can't handle 2 sick kids so I decided to postpone my 1st day to the next day, thinking that No.1's fever would subside since it was already Day3 of fever. But as the day went by her fever was still stubbornly around and No.2's cough was disturbingly loud which also interrupted his sleep and feeding. Anyway my gut feeeling was to bring them to see Dr Tan @ Kinderclinic Holland branch that night.
Dr checked the boy and said the boys lungs were clear, and was probably recovering from a viral infection since fever had subsided. His cough was croup and the cough would get worse before getting back in the next few days. He was prescrbed with 3ml prospan cough syrup and 1 ml zenmolin (to open up airways). As for No.1, he checked her a few symtomps HFMD, Dengue and Kawasaki, but did not observed any of those in her. Was told to monitor her till Day 5 (Wed), where it should go off but if it doesn't and fever goes up I should send her back for blood test etc... When we got back fed them with their meds. and the boy was still coughing during the night- poor babe.
Anyway after 2 days of the new med. the boy has stop his serious coughing and was able to sleep on tuesday night. I'm crossing my fingers that he is getting better. As for big sister, haiz the fever is still very much alive in her. I will blog more about it in her blog.
When kids get sick you really wish you can take their place instead!

The boy is sick
On Wed, I felt that his head was very warm in the evening whilst he was sitting against me, sensing something was not right immediately check his temperature and yup he was having a fever @ 38.5. Fed him paracetamol and gave him his milk before putting him to bed, and was glad he manage to finish his milk since more fluids is always better during fever time. Throughout the night monitored his temperature, fever was still running and he was having some dry cough so he couldn't sleep well.
Haiz what a day to fall sick since the next day will be 姐姐first day at school! Hubby and I was totally zombiefied the next morning, but we had to stay fresh and cheery for our girl since it's her first day. We accompanied her to school and halfway hubby left and brought the boy to see the doc. Doc said he caught a cold and thus running a fever, he said the next few days he may also have some discharge in his eyes and nose, fever should subside within 5 days. So he was prescibed with saline drops, nose drops, paracetamol and cough syrup. He was able to drink his milk but decided to give him a smaller amount at a shorter interval. By night time his fever had subsided and he could sleep much better, since he didn't really wake to drink. Today he was all smiles when I talked and played with him. Crossing my fingers that he is recovering well... He probably caught the cold last Sunday when we were out at a New year's BBQ gathering, it was raining and tho we manage to take some shelter he may have gotten some rain and wind.

Jasper @ 4mths
The boy is into his 4th month today! His daily schedule is now more or less settled with 2-3 naps and 5 feeds a day. He's really getting more and more vocal and noisy. He's into exercising his vocal cords by "screaming" and squealing. He still loves to put his hands/fists in his mouth and suck/munch on them, since than we have gotten him the teether to munch instead of his hands, but he still can't hold very well on it so we still need to assist him. He likes to look at things that make noises ie. rattles/musical toys, so he can lie and his gym mat for quite sometime before getting bored. The boy now prefers to sit upright as well as be carried upright instead of lying flat. Anyways he has been trying to roll / flip over to his tummy but can only do 1/2 - 3/4, think very soon he'll be able to flip - that's when we really have to be extra watchful of him.
Milestones:
Daily Schedule :
10am - Nap (30-45mins)
4pm - Nap (30mins)
Milestones:
- Recognizes your face and scent

Passport to Travel
The boy has gotten his passport @ 4mths old, even earlier than his big sister. His first holiday trip will be a road trip to Malacca! I'm actually not too keen to bring the boy as I think he's still too young to travel and hard for everyone to enjoy, but the hubbs is keen to go with his friends so I give in...

3rd Mth immunisation jab
Brought him for his 1st dose of 5-in-1 immunisation jab today. All looks fine with his development; his wt and ht are in normal range, but PD pointed out that he does have a bit of sensitive skin. The lump at his groin area is still present tho and PD says it doesn't seem to be growing so just monitor and allow it to slowly shrink.
He was really brave and didn't fuss much during the jab only gave a loud whine. Now we need to monitor his temperature for fever...
After note: He developed slight fever during the evening and fever subsided till next morning after 1 feed of paracetamol. However he had on-off slight fever (37.5-38)the next day - decided not to give him medication and allow the fever to subside on it's own since he's still feeding and playing as per normal.
