good morning all!
my girl was quite ok - did not fall ill at all from 3rd to 6th month old. I believed it was the BM that kept her going. However, from 6th month onwards, she is like falling sick mth. could be small flu, or worse fever, stomach flu etc....
now in CC, though we have started in this new CC since Dec 09, she is still falling sick often, could be once in every 2 weeks. sometimes sigh, i hardly have her in pink health before she catches the next bug again.
but sad to say, I am one of the parents who is unable to keep her home till full recovery before she returns to CC again. I will keep her home only if she is running a temperature, which I always have to keep my finger crossed on this. Every bout of flu or cough takes 2 to 3 weeks recovery and in no time she falls ill again with next cycle. thus, i really cannot afford the annual leave.... i know this is no excuse... esp she may spread and it may mutate and comes back to her again. never ending cycle.... I know it is irresponsible, but I do not seem to have an alternate option.
yeap and she still does not sleep through the night. since the day she arrived till now, the nights she could sleep through could be counted with fingers ....
i have not weaned her off totally, and thus i think sometimes she misses ma ma milk. I am trying to not to create a traumatic experience for her on the weaning thus I am trying to explain to her ma ma milk is going to finish....
I really hope our children can grow up strong and healthy. every time she falls sick and i felt so tired and guilty to give her so many types of medication, i keep telling myself, at least there is medication.... for kids suffering out there with illness that no medication could help, it is worse. Thus, I tried to look at it positively....
else i think i am too stressed up.... i carried a bottle of kindy panadol in my bag every day to work..... ( for fear of the CC calling me up anytime in the day).... I felt it was a mental stress. I am learning to let go slowly....
