(2007/04) April 2007 MTB


Dlim,
hopefully Jayden's alright. M also seems to be more cranky after he comes home from todd class. Maybe over-stimulated in school? Take care of yourself too.

my aunt told me to try letting D go diaperless for 1 hour at home.. which i am not keen to try or rather lazy to clear up the mess if he pee on the floor.

*sigh* i dunno if refusing to let me take out his clothes during bath time is part of terrible two behaviour!!!
 
gene,
how have you been? haven't seen you on the forum for a long time...

min/d,
i'm steadfastly refusing to toilet train him until he's ready. he still poos into his diaper w/out telling me sometimes, so i guess he's not ready yet. but certain times when he's up to it, and able to articulate "poo poo", i will just ask him to poo in his pampers.

cherryteq/springdance,
i think they only accept students from 2 years old onwards. yah, will be quite fun if he goes to learn drama. but i'm still interested to let him pick up ballet (cos he loves to turn circles at home till he gets dizzy hahaa)

dlim,
i saw the notice + the email miss lim sent out. the school won't disclose which infant/toddler has HFMD, so i'm not too sure who are the sick ones. by the way, how's jayden? everything Ok?

ixora,
how's the interview? everything went well?

cynthia,
cherelle has the makings of a fashionista. her white polo and pink skirt ensemble looks very nice =)
 
cherryteq/sandwich,
Most likely Jayden got ulcer in his throat. He keep coughing & crying while drinking his milk.
Last nite, he has been crying for an hour+ while taking his milk. End up, I didnt sleep well too.

Oh they wont disclose which infant/toddler has HFMD.. anyway is ok. Hope Kaizer is fine too.
Kaizer still goes to school today? Jayden resting at home now...

My poor boy, hope he can get well soon...
 
Augleo,
Brought him to see GP last nite. Cant see any sign of HFMD & ulcer in this mouth.

But if throat has ulcer, doctor will not be able to see it. So we suspect either he has
sore throat or ulcer cox he has difficulties while drinking his milk. We r monitoring closely on him now...
 
Dlim,
poor jayden. hoep he gets well very soon. cher once had an ucler in her throat n we din noe but she jus kip crying n cant drk at all. she ran a fever n d pd managed to show us d ulcer in her throat n they classified it as hfmd.
u can try spoonfeeding jayden something cold like diluted orange/apple juice or cold barley fr fridge. d 1st 2-3 days were tough but she got well by d 3rd day n cld drk agn. pd told us dun force them to eat since is painful. jus try to give fluid bit by bit. they wont go dehydrated if they are not vomitting too much (usually wont) at d same tx.

sandwich,
tk u for d compliment. cher is very 'ai sui' nowadays.
 
Sanrio,
Thanks... will try to spoonfeed him if he continue to cry when drinking his milk. How did the doctor
managed to show u the ulcer in her throat? This GP that we saw last nite is not Jayden's usual GP
cox she dont work in night shift.

I think this GP not experience at all.. so Im wondering if I shld bring Jayden to see his usual one again.
sad.gif
 
dlim,
if jayden is not too fussy about visiting another doctor, then maybe you should bring him for a second opinion, since in cher's case it was classified as HFMD. and you'll have to let the school know, because above a certain number of cases the school will have to exercise a mandatory shut down. not too sure what the threshold is.

he can take ice cream? my colleague's kid survived on ice cream during HFMD phase. i think marigold jelly is easy to eat also.

on a sidenote, i myself have three ulcers on my right lip now. ok, mine's definately not HFMD. i bit myself very hard accidentedly on saturday when i was having lunch outside. was bleeding quite a lot that the tissue paper looked like kaizer's ketchup tissue paper. i think d ever had ulcers before. it's painful for adults, i think it'll be a lot worse for the children.
 
sandwich,
We will see how tonite & tmr morning, if he continue to reject food & milk. We will bring him to see his usual GP.
Yes, he likes ice-cream but I dont allow him to eat..

Juz now Syakira teacher called & asked how is Jayden. Was telling her he's not feeling well & she asked me to
keep her update abt Jayden's condition.

I hate ulcers.. if we cant stand the pain, I dont think our little one can too. I think u r too heaty, drink more water
& "liang cha" & try not to eat too heaty food especially CNY is ard the conrner. U take care ya..
 
Dlim,
cher was seen by an experienced pd at sbcc then. he used tat wooden 'like ice cream stick' n touchlight to see into cher's throat. cher was crying n we cld c d big ulcer. yes mus b painful, i remb tat was d tx tat cher fussed n cried d most.
but there is no medication for hfmd, paracetamol wld help to relieve some pain n discomfort. u can give paracetamol abt half an hr b4 jayden's milk feed or abt an hr b4 his bedtx.

SW,
keke... mayb she got influenced by me cos i alwy brg her along to shop for clothes n wld ask her is this nice...
 
Dlim,
another common illness tat is highly contagious in young kids (or childcare gg kids) is coupe (i cant remb d exact spelling). is a virus causing infection to d upper respiratory tract/voice box. d voice box wld swell n cause lots of discomfort to a young kid, as it makes swallowing painful n uncomforatble.
tis pd we visit wld give a safe herbal extract to soothe d throat discomfort. there is no medication so agn, paracetamol wld help to relieve d pain/discomfort a little.
 
re: ulcer

hi sw,
u may want to try MEDIJEL. a gel for mouth ulcer. MEDIJEL the best pdt to cure my mouth ulcers.
i tried 西瓜霜, bonjela & salt didn't cure my mouth uclers.
you may want to try MEDIJEL. it is abt $7-8 for a tube.
 
sanrio,

isabelle got viral upper respiratory tract last week. fever spiked to 40 degree (highest) and fever was up and down x2 lasted for about 1 week. we brought her to KK A&E. the doc didn't prescribe medication for her throat. only paracetamol & bifen. wondering which herbal extract cher's PD prescribed?

you are right. it caused discomfort in the throat. isabelle didn't eat well during that period.

after fever, she got cough (cold type) as i gave quite a lot of "ling yang" to reduce the heatiness. and, i gave her some ice cream to "boost" her appetite.
happy.gif
 
kss/dlim,
your poor kiddos, hope jayden is not HFMD and isabelle recovers soon.

kss,
u know i got fever for 8day, spiked until almost 40 degree, i took brufen coz panadol cldnt bring down the fever and now i discovered i am allergy to brufen.
my doc said coz the fever cldnt go down, the virus attacked my voicebox, hurts still, actually i just got my voice back 2 days back. but still not my normal voice yet.
 
caicai,
yeah. recovered. phew!
she is very clingy to me after she recovered. i wonder why.
everything mama mama mama (non-stop)
i carried until shoulder & arm "soour".
was thinking to see TCM.
 
kaexin,

ur voice must be "sexy". :p poor thing la. 40 degree and voicebox hurts. did u eat well?

hope you have a speedy recovery. CNY coming..pineapple tart, bah kua, etc.. ;p

some pharmacist not encourage young children to take brufen unless fever up to 38.5

the pharmacist at KK advised us to give paracetamol first. if 1 hour later, fever is not subside, then only give brufen.
 
last 2 weeks, i was coughing badly like TB patient.
sad.gif
cough until vomit.
i went to TCM (eu yang sang). recovered in abt a week.
didn't go to GP cos most of the drugs cause drowsiness.
coughed for 2 weeks and i lost 1-1.5kg. good or no good? :D
 
Sanrio,
Where is this sbcc? Last nite Jayden still took some porridge & milk though not alot. But his cough is really bad.
Then we also realised he keep drooling..maybe its due to teething also. The coupe u mentioned is really contagious...
thanks for highlighting to me.
happy.gif


This morning Jay woke up very early again & he was so cranky & clingy to me till Im almost late for work.
Ask my mom to bring him to see GP but she said monitor few more days again.


KSS,
Fever till 40 degree.. thats really high! Glad that isabelle has recovered..
 
kss,
ya, my paed & KK A&E also said for children, brufen is only advisable if the temp is more than 38.5. actually i brot keira to A&E for the 1st time in 2nd week of Dec, coz she has fever for 3days as high to 39 and it doesnt go away. advise alt with panadol and brufen if the temp doesnt exceed 38.5 then shld jsut cont with parecetamol. keira must have pass the bug to me coz i fell sick after she recovered.. bunnie said i lost weight ! wahahaha

ya, now i sound very sexy! kekeke, you want me to call you ?
happy.gif
 
kaexin,

same here. isabelle and i normally take turn to fall sick. some ppl advised me to wear mask. but very discomfort la.

call me? don't want!!
happy.gif

KSS,

Thanks.. decided to bring Jay to see his usual GP this evening again. I dont want to wait anymore
cox he is getting really uncomfortable.

Actually is less than 3mths times. I cant wait to see my little gal soon but mean while, am scare also..hahaha..


Mummies,

Any ideal for bb gal name starting with J?
happy.gif
 
Hey gals,

Just wondering if you gals are keen in bringing your toddlers to a play gym trial class? More info at www.skygym.com.sg.

Pls note that it's not free ok. It's chargable at $35 but if you sign up for the package, this amount will be deducted.

Personally, I've not been there myself so I can't comment but we can have a private class on a Friday at 2pm, if we have 6 or more participants.

No obligations ok. Coz I know $35 is a bit too expensive.
 
Cherryteq,

"Jerlyn" sounds not bad..
happy.gif
tx! Have u decided a name for yr bb already?

Yup though this is not our first time but dunno why still feel scared..
 
KSS,

Yes!! Jade is one of my shortlist name.. U & michk have the same taste!
happy.gif


Here r the names I have shortlist:-

1. Jade
2. Jeannelle
3. Jermaine
4. Jaylyn
5. Jaszral
6. Jerlyn (thanks to cherryteq)

caicai,
edd is 2 April.

Dlim,
I'm not so scared abt the birth. More scared of how to handle 2 kids. And dread the confinement, night feeds. Everything again...
Ya, got name for bb already. Oh just thought of Jasmine. Jade sounds nice with Jayden, agree with Kaexin.
 
cherryteq,
Yup, those u mentioned Im scared as well. But since Jayden is attending childcare now & will change to full day,
hope it will lighten my job & hv more time for the small one.

What name u decided for yr bb?
happy.gif
 
Dlim,
During your ML, you'll be the only one to look after bb J? No help?
Megan for my gal. Like you, my kids will have same initials.
happy.gif
 
dlim: how about jewel?

I booked my confinement lady today. not too soon too, cuz she had a call 10 min later for a booking in the same period! *phew*!
 
dlim,
i have a friend who's called jade. her chinese name is "he yue pei", sounds a bit like the chinese pronounciation for jade, i think it's a sweet name

by the way, how's jayden? is he feeling better already? i think have less and less students going to school. yesterday when i dropped kaizer off at 8.15, only had him klaudia and sophia. this morning only have him and sophia. i was joking with the toddler teachers that today one teacher can take care of one toddler each
 
cherryteq,
Maid will be helping me during confinement. How abt u? I like megan..
happy.gif


Bunniette,
Thanks for the suggestion.. will consider..
happy.gif
Lucky u managed to book the confinement lady in time.


Sandwich,
Her chinese name really match her name. Jade is really a nice name..thanks for all your feedback.
happy.gif


Brought Jayden to see GP last nite again. He has throat infection but no ulcer so not related to HFMD. Phew!
He totally reject his milk & food. I was so worry for him. He feel hungry but yet no appetite to eat & he cried every nite!
I feel so sorry for him. I try to comfort him but he juz sit there & cry non stop. Feel so heart pain to see him like this.
sad.gif


Syakira teacher called yesterday to check on Jayden again, told her he wont be coming to school for this wk till he
recover. I think some parents are worry for their kids so they rather let them stay at home. But I realised most of the
kids only reached school ard 830-9am. Normally Jayden is the 2nd to arrive after Sophia!
 
cherry,

when are you due? When I read it's like you've already given birth!?

Megan is a cute name...like Megan McCormick. My HB loves her! haha

Any SHM with children not in school yet? Wanna meet up? I can't be the only one, right? Min?
 


cool_d,
jodie is cool, cos it sounds close enough to my fav jodi picoult! if it's a girl J name, i think juno is pretty cool too. i watched the show and cried buckets, though the rest of my friends thought the show was more hilarious than sad.
