hope jo gets well soon. take care of yourself too! hugz to you both!
rianne is out sick too. suddenly had cough fri night. then sat we went to pd but it was too crowded with a lot of sick babies and kids. so we decided to wait till mon since it was only a slight cough and we still had meds at home. then after her nap sat she suddenly had high fever 38.6. quickly gave her paracetamol and it subsided fast. problem is when she was sleeping it went up again to 37.8. so sunday we went to gp. she was ok the whole day aside from her cough. then at night she started having runny nose. then while she was sleeping fever again, 37.6 this time. sigh. will go back to see doc again today. don't know why her fever keeps going up and down. and she keeps on waking up at 5am ever since she got sick. so tired and sleepy now.

Need to rant. Very upset w my new maid.
It's been 3 weeks already and till now, she still mouses around. She is so mousy that even if she doesnt understand, she will say 'yes'. I've many times told her to ask if she doesn't understand, but till today she has not opened her golden mouth. So, end up many times i tell her to do something, she will say yes and not do it. Am v frustrated becos for each task, i specifically tell her step by step how she is supposed to do it, and even explain at least 3x in simplest english. Something even have to draw pic on paper. Becos of this, I can't be at peace each time I task her to do something even as simple as making an egg mayo sandwich.
A classic example was to pack a diaper bag for our outings. After 5 times of explaining with a list of things and physical show n tell, she can STILL stuff the contents of the diaper bag into the cupboard after we return from an outing! Last night's plain teochew porridge ended up like a goey mess and I had to eat maggie mee.
And I also think becos of her mousy quiet nature, she mouses around and speaks so softly, and almost like no strength no energy no life. ALmost sian to live. Not exaggerating.
I called the agent in last week to give her a pep talk becos I thought it was only becos she was homesick, but now, I think, it's her personality + homesickness + dun dare to ask or say a thing that it causing me grief.
Vic doesnt like her and till now cant warm up to her. End up, I have to bathe her, change her feed her + do the same for Jordan. I seem to be the maid here! And who gets to sleep through the night???!! Really am darn stressed out cos when I return to work, I cant have all these rubbish happening.
HOW!!! SHould I change the maid now? Sigh.. darn tired. I think am a VERY VERY patient person but this one really takes one off me.

jelly / mint - Been texting the agent. Sigh. My mom and I was just telling her to wash some dried mushrooms w tap water. Our fren immed took the mushrooms and soaked them in a bowl of hot water. And my mom has a loud voice to boot. My heart damn pain.
The other reason why I dun like her lifelessness is becos she is gonna help care for my kids. I worry my kids will mirror her lifelessness as kids learn from their caregivers.

joanne,
sounds like rianne might have viral fever. That's what happened to regina too. Fever comes back each time the meds wear out. Then shoots up really high at night so have to give her a shower. Now i know what saxo meant when she said 39 deg is not as scary as 40 deg.
Mommies,
Since regina was sick she has been so clingy and whiny. I know it's cos she's uncomfortable so i just manja her more. But it made me so stressed and tired and finally yesterday i snapped and screamed at regina for toppling the bowl and the whole floor was her dinner. Then i went to the kitchen to cry. Hubby quickly took over, gave me a hug and told me to go watch tv. Haiz! Felt so horrid for scolding her.
Jjmom,
can i check with you if can give our bubs ling yang if have fever? Hubby's friend suggested it to him but i was already so stressed out with her illness that i didn't dare to try it cos am afraid of adverse reactions then have to send to hospital.

<font color="119911">mint,
*hugz hugz* i can totally understand that how u feel, i often lost my temper with Nat & feel bad after that too.
abt ling yang :
my family will only take this under vy serious illness coz this is like extreme 'liang' kind. i think i only took this 2 times so far.
so my take is like what vanilla suggests, barley water or chrysathemum tea. I replace the water with it for all Nat's milk feeds.</font>

thanks mommies!
Icylemon,
So means ok to give even half dosage? Cos i know ling yang is quite potent in the sense that when i have fever and i take my fever goes away. That's why i dun dare to give.
Vanilla,
Yup, i did give her barley water. But heard that barley water will cause phlegm. Not sure true or not so i gave just to help for her fever to subside. She initially didnt want to drink so we had to put the barley into an opaque straw cup and bluff her it's water.
Can't ask my mum to help cos she's also down with cough. Hubby helped alot but regina just kept crying for me. We didnt want to make her condition worse so i gave in lor. Haiz!

<font color="119911">mint,
another reason y i don't suggest 'ling yang' now is coz from my own experience, too 'liang' too fast leads to cough easily & this kind of cough is difficult to recover from. I believe this way is more harmful to the health, hurts the lungs.
if u r worried abt barley water will cause phlegm, can boil it with more water. Or use the chinese barley. Don't boil for too long, if not, it's no longer 'liang'. Once it's boil, another 10~20min will do.
Can check with bluey on her exp with 'ling yang' coz my exp with it, is really limited.
