RE: Joy is sick...
harlow mummies, havent had a chance to post much since joy was sick from saturday..sigh...juz wanna express my thoughts and vent my frustrations for being such a lousy mummy...sat hb brought bb n Mil to ikea..on sat nite, noticed tat bb coughs a little but didnt take too much notice..by sun mornin, the cough has transformed to cough + phlegm...and fr short cough to long persistent cough, like those we adults suffer at times...brought her to see my GP on sun afternoon...doc gave 4 bottles of med n says tat if got fever, give the extra 1 bottle at home..which means total is 5...went home..put all the medicine in the EBM...mistake! bb only drank 80% of it..which i thot stil okie...by nite time, her fever came...shot to 39deg...and didnt wanna drink anythin! Not the med, not the milk...i panicked...we packed our stuff tinkin to go either kkh or tmc...in e end,make a short u-turn then back home liaoz...coz a fren said since already eaten the fever med (which hb force fed), so wait for another 2 hrs..if no subside, then bring to hosp..coz the nurse also cant do much there since joy've already eaten the med...
sun nite: fever subside
mon morn: i cont to put the med in e milk..(coz last time i also like tat), then this time kiasu mi even half the milk so tat the first half (w med) she def finish then 2nd half nv finish also nv mind coz the emphasis is to finish the med n recover
tue: reject everythin...the milk + med; the med alone; or even milk...cough did not recover..now worsened...going on hungry strike...my heart sank...shld hv fed e med directly instead of takin short cut...feel so bad...
tue nite: she could not zz at all...have those very scary screams once i put her down..tink she nightmares..so i ended up carryg her to zzz for mon nite n tue nite..daddy took over abt 4plus am...
finally took her to pd on wed morn...pd says cant zzz normally coz the phlegm too much..so bb wil feel like choking (which explains y the scary screams). had to rent the nambilizer (dunno the correct spellin) so that she can breathe tat to widen her windpipes...
stil on milk strike...sigh..poor fellow...see her so hungry yet i cant do anythin...realli feel very bad...some more coz sick, so super grouchy n sticky w mummy...kept cryg n once she knows tat i'm not ard, she wil cry..feel so bad for causing so much pain to my dear bb..sigh..hope she recovers soon..
