hi mummies
thanks for all the concern...kaer's blisters r getting bad...i just spotted an ulcer in her mouth..
...her tiny fingers are all filled with blisters...so its really quite heart breaking to see that..but one consolation is, despite her blisters...she doesnt seem to be bothered by them..n still manages to get onto my nerves!~..haahaa..ya..she still is as mishievous...n goes around the house shouting and screaming..n knocking n kicking stuff..i just hope her ulcers n blisters dun get worst..
rite now..she is still eating..but im afraid once the ulcers set in..she wont eat..
..n she hates ice cream...one strange child...she dont really like cold cold stuff...maybe she will get brain freeze bah...dunno..so, i gave her a cold strawberry just now to play..

snow,
Thanks for your concern. You take care too!
The new year is upon us soon, so new things to look forward to ya?
Mummynana,
Thanks. I'm having some bad stomach cramps, not sure why it's so painful. Imagine I got this cramps on Boxing Day. Then got another attack 2 days later. Most prob will see a gynae to double check on things.
YLN,
Sayang Kaer. I think it's not easy on her. Maybe now she will eat cos not so many ulcers yet but I heard for those who get HFMD, when more and more sores and ulcers develop in the mouth, it gets harder to eat so you may find Kaer rejecting food. Guess u have to top up with more water.
Yuuri,
Kes got HFMD? How did he get it? I thought he was all ok the last time I saw him.
Not through meeting his cousin I hope...
Celyn,
hehe Chevelle still cannot climb up our bed cos ours is those very thick mattress that's very high for her.
But she still wants to climb up -_-"
If the height quite low, believe she can climb up on it.

YLN,
its ok if Kaer don't wanna eat later if she has the ulcers in the mouth, but you have to get fluids into her - this is very important. so long as she is hydrated, she will recover. and kids do recover very fast one. and its not your fault lah, how do you prevent her catching the virus? we babysit my SIL's HFMD kids a few years back so quite experienced. you can give chilled water - to numb the soreness in the mouth then give room temp watery porridge. so at least she has something in her tummy later.

Valnsw,
Heehee...Maybe there is another lil' one on the way? Tats how I found out I was pregnant wif Anvelle. But watever the case, it is impt to go do a check-up on it. Put a warm bottle at ur tummy when it hurts. Will soothe it somehow.
YLN,
Take care. Sayang both of you....
Last but not least, here's wishing all of you n your family beauty *wink wink*, good health, happiness, success and prosperity for the new year! Enjoy the long weekend... I m going home now. Aat long last.

Cetaphil is one of the good recommendation for sensitive skin... I used it from week 16 when I was diagnosed with severe pregnancy rashes... Very bad case, only stopped 7 weeks after delivery... That time is strictly can't even touch strong detergent or even dish washing liquid.
Another good one is Lactacyd the one for infants ~ blue and green stripes on white box (dun get the wrong one which is meant for feminine wash ~ red n purple stripes on white box) This one C & C used it since they were newborn, cos they were prematured, so skins are sensitive.

Agree with Celyn, at least J doesn't cry to want to get out.. It's gd to have the playpen when all adults are busy or sorts, at least it's quite safe. Maybe when J is more stable with walking, then let him roam more..
Not bad, he can climb down the bed on his own! Gd job J!!
<font color="#CD3278">YLN</font>
*sayang* Kaer.. Looks like she's not terribly affected by the blisters.. You know sometimes adults use watermelon powder (xi gua shuang) for ulcers, do you think it can be used for toddlers?
I think HFMD can be quite hard to prevent from getting, but we try to minimise the chances for tt to happen too.. When our kiddos go for CC, gotta be prepared for them to pick up viruses & germs.. Has she gone for her chicken pox vaccine?
Hope she gets a gd night's rest!!

Take it easy, dun stress yourself too much.. Cos Kaer would feel it when mummy feels stressed up.. if she's happily playing and kicking, let her be. That's would keep her mind off all the awful pain and itch. Keep her cool at all times cos body heat does make her itch and cranky. Den it'll probably be difficult to claim her down once she gets cranky.
Take good care and will pray for her speedy recovery.

You take gd care too... And gd thing ur work only officially begins mid Jan *hugs*

Mummynana,
Yes, there is a combined MMR and Chic pox vaccine but Mae's doc dislikes mixing vaccines as he said it is injecting live viruses into the body and thus will cause fever if combined...so it is always 1 vaccine at a time...
Mae will be gg for the chic pox vaccine next week as she never kena chic pox from #1...then it will be DPT booster and her 2nd jab of pneumoccocal...aiyo like so many jabs to take...

it will be a day surgery under GA. if under GA hoh, can i still bf? i was told to schedule for an x-ray after i delivered then will arrange for op liao.
i don't know if i'm prepared to go through the day surgery so soon leh. especially when #2 is still so young, wonder do what extend can i move my hand after the day surgery. how long do i need to rest again? hmmmm.....

yuuri,
yes, its ok liao but still need to remove the wire leh. unless i decide to let it stay with me forever loh, also not sure if i can have that option.
i think after my x-ray then will further discuss to see if i can delay the op till #2 is at least 1 year old loh. sigh....

I remembered having HFMD (yes, adult can have it too). Had high fever den all the ulcers and blisters started appearing... both upper and lower gums were all swollen. That time in the US... very poor thing also.. On top of the pain, the gums are producing lots of pus.. I got to bite on gauge to squeeze out the pus and blood. Rinse mouth with listerine every hour. (imagine how painful it is?) At one stage, I actually used scissors to cut away the flesh to release the pus. For 2 weeks I could not take any solid. Drank milk for 2 weeks and lost 5 kg.
I'll probably understand how Kaer's feeling right now. Share with you some of my food intake experience at that time:
I couldn't even take Heinz bottled food ~ cos eat liao painful and it taste awful. Took me one hour to finish one bottle of Heinz pear sauce.
I tried cereal, also can't ~ pain
Mashed potato ~ got salt, so make it more painful
Watermelon and orange juice ~ sweet, also painful
Jello ~ sweet, painful too
Only could take milk... So I probably drank several gallons of milk in 2 weeks den I had in one year.
Here's some suggestion :
Mashed potato, one table will do, add into her milk to make a creamy texture. That will help to feel her tummy. remember no salt or sugar.
Go back to puree diet, just as long as the food do not have too much natural sweetens in it, cos it can be very painful for the mouth.
Cook plain porridge den blend it watery. let her drink lor. Got to blend bcos any texture will make it painful for her to swalllow. If she's hungry, she'll take. Just as long there's not salt or sugar in the food, she won't feel the pain.. Basically, need something that is alkaline lor..
That's as much as I can suggest.

Thanks for the tips! It's new to me that adults can get infected by HFMD.. I thought rice cereal wld also be okie, since blended plain porridge can help fill the tummy?

Mommies,
For MMR, I only brought Kai to take it on 22 Dec ... on the 10th day, he had slight fever, let him take paracetomol and he was ok. He puked once .... and today, rashes came out. It's around the ear area ... now seems a little improved.
So far, those who took the MMR ..... did you little ones have rashes?
Any risk for the rashes? or it'll go away.
Kai does not show any sign of discomfort.
Incidentally, Quan oso started having some slight rashes on his bums .... dunno how come. I wanted to spank his backside cos he was misbehaving and then saw the rashes .... no discomfort apparently.
I then said, "ok, then i wun spank your backside since there are rashes" and he said "My hand oso has rashes ..... " ...... so funny.
I din spank his backside la ... and even if I do, oso vv light. He'd ask me to do it again ..... he thinks it's fun! imagine.

OMG! Sounds scary leh...2nd surgery, my gdness...yalor, if #2 still small then you totally can't move that hand after surgery will be rather inconvenient right?
Yuuri,

History
I also din believe it when they told me I got HFMD.. until today I still believe the doctors there diagnose wrongly leh.. cos my hand and leg okay leh... nothing at all.
Plain porridge got no taste, no salt, no sugar.. less harmful and painful for the blistered mouth. What ever it takes to feel the hungry little tummy.
