Xmas 2009!

Opps, been close to a month since I last update my blog.
Well,not much going on, nothing to update...I have been super busy with work.
Busy with houseworks, with Rayden etc etc etc...

Hubby got his last molar extracted, due to partial decaying...scary...
Must have a good brushing habit else end up like him..heee GOsh it must be painful. He spent $200 in this minor surgery. Pain for a couples of days, had slight fever..But glad he's getting better on the xmas day..
As for Rayden, I am still confused with the milk formulae, dunno which is the best for him. His poo is either too hard (like pebbles) or too soft (like curry)... FIL suggested that we should mix Mamil Gold with Isomil Advanced 2, to get the correct stool.. indeed, it appears to be better.
So now, Rayden is on Dumex Mamil Gold / Pedisure + Isomil Adv 2. Haa
It's getting complicated.

Oh ya, about me, my company have "warm shutdown" for the entire xmas week. We are being "forced" to take 4 days leaves ... so staying at home, but everyday i packed myself with events.. heee .. Wonder if FIL will "complain" tat I am not working but yet I don stay at home to look after Rayden :p

Okay about Xmas, well not much of mood this year, dunno why... maybe becoz Hubby is too busy shuttling between his client's xmas parties and own usual gang's. No spirits this year, did not even get a chance to view the xmas lightings in Orchard.

So Xmas Eve, we supposed to go East Coast Park for BBQ but due to the heavy rain, we switched to one of our fren's house for dinner + countdown.
Well, to be frank, this year wasnt as well -planned as last year, it's kinda bored. But no complaints coz they are trying their best already, I did not help, due to Rayden.. Those with Kids are rather hard to participate in the activities, plus we did not have a formal discussion as well, only a few folks are doing the planning. But still it went on well and smooth :)

Pics on the way...

Upcoming events:
BBQ - on 26th and 28th

Hope i can lift up my mood before counting down to Year 2009!

Virus & virus & virus wins!

So sad, ever since Rayden turned 2, he been having running nose & cough.. Finally got well around 17th Nov.
Then on 24th Nov, we went United Sq's Vienna for dinner, and shopped at ToyRUs, it was fun and enjoyable, but alas..came Tues...
25th Nov (Tues) came his high fever, gave me a bad shock..went to see PD, on fever medication. The fever lasts about 5 days with on-off fever.. Then while the fever is gettg cleared, came the bad diarrhoea on 27th Thurs, vomitted his milk and bad appetite..He very sleepy the whole day and were very tired-looking.
On Fri, he din got better but WORSE, i found blood streaks in his watery poo.. Freaked me out! After hubby came back from his roadmarch, we rushed to KK hospital around 10pm.
Spent $80+ there, took a blood test, Rayden cried like crazy, coz need to squeeze his blood out from his tiny fingers [ half a small test tube =( ]. Gave only the strengthening immunity medicine that Rayden already have been taking. It was a, i think Mymmar or Fillipino lady doc, i can hardly understand wat she said. I askd why the blood streaks, she only say it's viral attacks.
Still watery poo but blood streaks seem to lessen.
Brought Rayden to his usual PD today (2Dec), spent $50+ but finally I feel much better. Dr Teo explained why the blood streaks and listen carefully and gave more medications and asked us to stop milk & all dairy products (The KK doc said i could continue to gv when i asked her).I would trust my PD more in this case.


Things to note when baby's having diarrhoea & vomit:

Monitor weight loss
Dilute milk but if with vomit (stop milk)
Provide plenty of water (rice water, barley water is recommended)
Give Pedilyte to replenish nurients
Give frequent but less qty sollid feeds (if child reject, it's fine)
Avoid diary based product (if frequent vomit & bad diarrhoea)

hope he got better within 3 days..spare Rayden the agony please..
