Just woke up. Avatar is nice. Worth watching. But preggie mums beware. I think it's uite violent too. Meimei was kicking me throughout. Then again, she does that all the time so am not sure if it's due to the movie..
QQ: I was very concerned when I started all this with Anna. The PD said the known side-effect of prolonged use of the corticosteriods (different from the ones athletes take to boost performance) MAY result in slower physical growth in the child (ie the child may be shorter than average), but Anna is not short, she's even tall for her age. Hehe.. So I'm more fang xin to use on Ayden cos I can see the effectiveness of the drugs in Anna. Hope Ayden takes it ok too and don't grow up too short. I've not started Ayden on the daily maintenance puffs yet, but looks ike he's quite prone to getting the sensitive airways/wheezing episodes, so PD suggested we do.
Yvonne: Anna has stopped all puffs abt half a year ago? Yah, I hope she has outgrown it too.
Yes, puff and repsules are different cos need to use different machines mah. When I use the neub on anna last time and ayden when he's sick now, I will use 2ml of pulmicort each time. And one day the max dosage is 6ml (ie 3 repsules of pulmicort). I think you're talking abt 1ml per neub? Yes, neub is more effective but we don't need to use it daily. For daily maintenance, puff will work fine.
I shd be starting Ayden on the daily maintenance puffs too (mine is 2 puffs ventolin and 1 puff fixotide nightly). And put him on singulair. Anna took quite a lot of packets of this - from powder to tablets when she's bigger.
Belle: Yah, anna will use all ways to get what she wants. We're teaching her the wrong abt in lying.
Joelle: I lost the url to GG, can email me your acc for the transfer pls? Am so looking forward to ants-free study table!!! Yeah! Can't wait.
