Day 2 in Hospital

Post some photos taken yesterday using my mum's hp.

When we reached Children's Emergency. Nurse examined him, he is smiling at her whenever she talk to him.

At Observation 2 waiting for our turn for the Nebulization.








Changed him into hosp gown when we are at the ward. The clothes there are too big for him even thou it is S size. Happily looking at the new environment around him.

KPO and keep looking at the Doctor when he is asking my mum questions.

First time in the box when he is on nebulizer. He is superb happy when he is in there. Smiling, turning left and right and last but not least, 'tasting' it.!

Mummy is very tired... I've caught the stomach flu 2 days ago and yest night I didn't had a wink at all. My mum is more tired than me. She hasn't been slping well for the past 2 nights. Leroy had been waking up very often, coughing badly.

He is getting better. Not much wheezing anymore and able to sleep longer. But Doctor wants to observe him for another day. Most probably he can be discharge tomorrow!

Tonight my mum will stay with Leroy and I'll be back to work tomorrow.

Last but not least my sis who has been helping me looking after Lervin. She even accompany Lervin to his CC's organised Children's Day trip to the zoo today. Will get the photos from her and upload.

Leroy finally Poo-ed after a 5 days 'Strike' !

Leroy admitted to Hospital

Since yesterday night, we decided to bring Leroy to KKH first thing in the morning. His cough doesn't seems to get better. Get worse instead. He cant sleep well and cries when he cough.
I went to see Doctor and he ask me how is Leroy, I told him his condition and as what I expected, he told us to bring Leroy to KKH. Am afraid that prolonged coughing will cause asthma. As my Hubby and his bro have history of asthma. For me, he prescribe medication for stopping the vomit and the pain in the stomach. After my visit, me and my mum brought Leroy to KKH and my sis helping me to look after Lervin.
Reach children's emergency, registered Leroy and we waited for your turn. We went to the nursery and the nurse examined him. She said that he has bronchities and not asthma. A relieve....! We are sent to a room to administer Nebulizer

Nurse took his weight as well. Lost weight again... From 8.4kg to 8.2kg. My poor baby..... =(
He doesn't struggle that much. After the 7 mins of nebulizing, we went to the X-ray room. Dr wanted to confirm that there's no water in his lung. Waited outside after the X-ray and after waiting for 15 mins, the Dr called us in again. She said that there's no water in lung but because of Leroy is feeling breathless and the airways is narrowed, she wants leroy to be admitted to Hosp. And the nebulizer can only be given in hosp.


He quite like this. Lol.! Each time the nurses place this over his head, he will be coo-ing and smiling away. =)




The bed I'm going to sleep.



Update @ 3.15am
Leroy cough so badly that he sems like wanting to vomit. Quickly I carried him up and look for the nurse. They brought him for the suction to suck out the mucus. I wanted to follow but they said will bring him back to me. Maybe they don't want the parent to feel heartpain when they baby cries badly during the procedures. I waited in the ward and 10 mins later, they bring him back to me. Nurses said that they had removed quite a lot of mucus inside. Hopefully he will sleep better, I brought him in the ward, and when I looked at him, i saw blood outside his nostrils. I went to look for the nurse, and she said when using the suction, it will sometimes irrriate the 'walls' I guess they did the suction too long and thus drying up the inside of the nose and causing it to bleed. Heartpain to see him suffering..... =(




Update @ 4.30am
Again he cough badly and wakes up crying.... Gave him his milk and he only finish 40ml of milk. Maybe he is to tired as he keep waking up crying. He has been drinking quite little. From the usual 160ml to now, 100ml.
Gtg expressing...

Mummy is sick.

Caught the virus from lervin and my sister. Start to vomit and having diarrhoea. Tummy feels very bloated and painful... How I wish Leroy will pass all his virus to me. Let me suffer instead of him.....
Going to see Doctor tomorrow....

Happy Lunar 4 months Leroy !

Today is Leroy's lunar 4th month. In chinese tradition, we will have this small 'ceremony' called 'xiu nua' Means to stop lessen the drooling and celebrating the start of having semi-solid. I think something like this. And also parent will choose to shave their baby bald either on the first month or 4th month. I choose to do on the 4th month.
Leroy isn't feeling well for this past 1 week. Been coughing quite badly easily irritable. A quick ceremony.

My 'botak' baby.!

Leroy is sick. =(

Last week, Lervin isn't feeling well. After he recovered, my sister gets sick. Caught the virus from my Lervin. Now, it's Leroy's turn. He is coughing and having runny nose. Whenever he breathes, i can hear there is alot of muscus in his throat. Poor boy. Brought him to Dr today and he said it's due to his muscus that leds to coughing.

Leroy lose weight as well... From 8.7kg to 8.4kg....

Dr never prescribe runny nose and cough syrup. He show me the article mention by HSA (Health Science Authority) that babies below 6 months are not suppose to give those mentioned mixtures. But still polyclinics and clinics are prescribing those medicines. He only gave me Nose Drop. Dr mention that as long as the mucus is gone, the cough will slowly recover by itself. But what if he doesnt get well and worsen instead? Hope he gets well soon. He is not sleeping well too. Every half hour he will wakes up and cry. Babies can only cry when they feel uncomfortable or unwell. There's no way we can know what's wrong with them. How I wish I'm the one suffering.....

Lervin is sick....

While we are on the cab back home from my mum's place, Lervin vomitted on the cab! he keep calling mimi (mummy). can see that he is scared and feels terrible. my poor boy. paid driver $12 for the car wash. abit much right? he even told me the least is $10. i want to quickly go hm so i gave him $12 even thou i dont hv to. reached hm faster clean him up... when sitting on bed, he vomitted again. woke hub up and he quickly carried Lervin to the bathroom. he cried and looks really 'xinku'. changed him and a freshset of bed liners. gave him some warm water he sat on the bed while i fold their clothes. Lervin keep wanting me to carry and when he gave me the 'want to puke look', quickly i carried him on the floor. he vomitted again. Heartpain to see him like this. hub carried him to bathroom and i mop the floor. The 3rd time he vomit. Hub wanted to bring him to doctor but after awhile, Lervin looks better. So we decided observe and see how.

Lervin just vomited again. My fil told my hub to throw away the 1 seat sofa chair in the living room which my hub take from my mil. I ask my hub why and he told me that my fil sense 'something' is there. I had goosebumps when i hear this. Actually when i had Lervin, during my last trimester, i feel there's something looking at me from my wardrobe corner. Had this feeling for few nights before I decided to tell Hub and he use the pomelo leaves to sprinkle water at all 4 corners. Now I feels that my house is abit eerie.
Back to topic, Lervin vomited whenever he takes something. Be it milk or water. This cleaning up and mopping continues till 5+am. Only by than we managed to catch a few hours of sleep. First thing in the morning we brought Lervin to KKH. Dr said that it's Gastroenteritis. A viral infection. Quite a number of people had been seeing Dr for this. Between oral medicine and med to be inserted into his rectum, we choose the second option. He was being brought into the nursery room and hub was holding him while the nurse insert it. My tears is rolling in my eyes as it really hurts me to see Lervin undergoing this. I'm so afraid that he will cry but no. He didn't cry at all and didn't resist. We are suppose to come back to let Dr see his condition 2 hrs later. During that period, we are suppose to give 'freezer pops' glucose syrup every 15 mins to replenish his fluid and mineral which he lose when he is vomiting and not taking. Looks like the ice pops I had when I'm young. We had our lunch there and walk around KKH during the 2 hours wait. Lervin didn't vomit anymore and he appears more active. Hope he get well soon.!

Hubby off to Korea...

Hubby had left for korea at 10.30. Will be back on 22 night. envy that e can go korea... It is his company trip for this yr. it's Nt easy to be able to travel to these countries. after one big round, they re actually paying their own tickets.

The 2 Brothers.!!

I didn't do this on purpose. Just when I came back from kitchen, the moment I step into the room, I saw this.! Lervin flipped and happened to 'land' his leg on Didi. Leroy didn't scream for help. Just keep Coo-ing. Lol!

Lervin is 2 yrs and 1 month old

Lervin is getting more sensible and protective of own family. He knows exactly who he can bully and when he should be good. Always bullying his grandpa knowing he wont punish or scold him. Hub is more strict with him. Sometimes I don't agree with the way he teaches him. For his age, I think he is too harsh on him. After I talk to him, he will listen and regret what he did and he will sayang lervin. It is easy to sayang him without him ignoring hub and continue to play with him after getting scolding at his age now. But I believe few yrs later, he will ignore hub's hug. Haah..


This lil' baby is getting way too active. One moment he can be jumping and dancing on bed, a min later he is messing up toys. Even my sis is tired when looking after him. Oh ya, saying about my sis, she acts like a mother to Lervin. Plays with him, attend to him when he cry, feed him, pat him to sleep... She behaves exactly like what a mum is doing. Sometimes more then what I did.! Hahhaa.! My mum ask Lervin to call my sis '姨姨 妈妈' Few times when we are out with lervin tagging along, she keeping asking lervin if he is hungry, buy him food if he is, every half hour give him his water bottle. And my sis really helped me alot in looking after Lervin. At least lighten my mum's load when Lervin is at her place.

He is adapting quite well in CC. Still cry when I pass him to teacher. But he only cry for a while. I heard from his teacher that he has a good friend there. Keep talking and following each other around. I can imagine the 2 lil tots walking and running about. Talking in mixed languages. Hahaah...! Gonna ask teacher who is his good friend. =D

Leroy is 4 months Old.!

Leroy turns 4 months today.!

Very fast... Another month had passed. I'm finally back to work on 26 Aug after a long 16weeks break. New roles and additional workload. But still I enjoy my work. Time is always not enough but still I enjoy the "rushing for time to complete" feeling. Sense of satisfaction. =)
