It's a waste!

Joshua has stopped vomiting.

However his appetite is not back yet but he’s eating more.

This few days I was not feeling really well either. I had a craving for porridge. Or rather I can only eat porridge as whatever I ate, it all came out below.
So Papa went to Hungrygowhere to do a search on the porridge. According to the review, this porridge seller has got 20 years of experience and the recipes are 20 years too. Best of all, it was at Serangoon Gardens Market.

One of our fave places.

So we took a cab down all the way to try out the porridge.
Eagerly anticipating to try the porridge.
Verdict – Normal.

Ever since Joshua went to school, his appetite increases. He can eat at least ¾ of whatever is given to him. Or sometimes if it’s his fave Macdonald, he can finish it all. And we are used to ordering something different from what we are eating for him.

I know his appetite is not good and can only eat something light.

As usual I will let him choose if he wants rice or noodle.

So repeatedly I ask if he wants rice or noodle. He told me noodle.

I ordered Kway Tiao Fishball Noodle Soup. He refuses to eat.
At first I tried to be patient. Coax him into taking a few bites.
Initially, it works. But after a few bites. He told me: “Bao Bao le”
This time I was really angry as there’s so much food left.
There’s my porridge, his noodle soup. How am I supposed to finish all by myself?

Without any choice, I just have to eat all the food by myself with some help of Papa. But he’s not a fan of Noodle soup. So limited help was given.

Fast forward to today. He’s doing the same thing over again. This time I was really angry. I refused to let him watch his Mickey Mouse and ignored him when he tried to throw tantrum.
At the end of his tantrum throwing, I won! He gave in, say sorry to me, hug me and gave me a peck on my cheek.
However he’s still not eating, only drinking milk and water.

From this I just know that I have to be firm to him. I am not afraid of him throwing tantrum in the public. He’s only a child! I know sometimes it’s unnecessary and irritating.

But I am numb to it.

Constantly having to remind myself not to lose my temper that readily and just ignore when he’s throwing tantrum. I only talk to him after that. Usually he will bear it in mind after the whole event.

Dinner time is the next challenge.

Finger crossed. Hopes he remembered what I told him earlier on.

Sickening weeks.

How time flies.

It has been a long time since i last log into here and update this blog.

Actually, I'm clueless on where should i start. As i can only remembered pieces of things or event that has happen.

This past 2 week has been especially "SICKENING" for Joshua, Papa & me.
Joshua has been falling sick consecutively for the past 2 weeks.

In the early afternoon on Wednesday(Deepavali 2011), we actually intended to send him to my mun place. But on the way there, he suddenly develop high fever. We had to make a U-turn even though we're reaching my mum place. Once at home, his reading was 39 degree, immediately Ibuprofen was given to bring down the temperature. And for the whole day, his reading was 39 0r 40 degree. It only came down when he was given Ibuprofen and was he more active. Throughout the whole day, he refuses food but only drank milk and water.
Off to Kids Clinic on Thursday. As usual long waiting time. I actually prefer Dr. Lilian Lim but she was not available. Then according to Dr. Allyson Tan, Joshua might just have a throat infection as his tonsil was quite swollen and red. resulting in his high fever. Antibiotic and more Ibuprofen and Panadol syrup were given.
On Friday, he was better as the fever is on the lower range. He was still refusing food but only drank milk and water. In fact, he even shitted. So i assume that he is feeling much better. Just after his noon nap, he was at 39.8 degree. Again! Before his noon nap i message Papa that his fever was at the lower range and he was more active. So no need to go down to hospital. Again the whole process repeated itself. Given the Ibuprofen, came down and when he woke up from the nap, it came back again.
That evening off to hospital. Doctor diagnosed that he was down with tonsillitis. No antibiotic this time but higher dosage of Panadol as he refuses Ibuprofen at the hospital. Doc mentioned that the antibiotic only causes more outbreak of his ulcers. So have to let his immune system do the fighting. He was not allow school for the next 5 days.

Sigh... There it goes again. I have to take leave....

And this week.
Thursday night, he vomited. I already find him behaving weird during dinner time. He refuse to eat anything we given to him. During his night bath, i will usually brush his teeth before his bath but he refuses(he loves brushing teeth!). Expected, something is wrong, he vomited.
Friday, off to see Chinese physician. Doc diagnose him with stomach flu causing him to vomit and poor appetite.
Today monitoring. If he still vomit, a visit to the hospital is a must. But i keep my finger crossed.

I REALLY HATE HOSPITAL!!!!

Seriously, there has been a lot of changes.
I switched professions. Although it's now of a lower position then my previous job but I'm paid more and more relax. So i do not mind at all.

Nowadays, i tried to take things easy and see things in a more relax way. I don't insist on things too much resulting in myself to be happier and not so selfish. However, evil thoughts still comes to me once in a while.

Very soon, Papa 32nd birthday, Xmas, New Year, Genting trip then Joshua's 3rd birthday coming. A lot of exciting events!

For now, it's to work harder to make all this wonderful events works.
