Our Precious Minnie: November 2009

Today, 27 Nov 2009 is our darling Jermaine 1 year old birthday..Last year this day she was borned and delivered in KKH..how time flies ya..so fast and she is 1 year old liao..lotsa lovely memories tuned back onto me and hb's mind, recalling those moments when she was just delivered, how lovely she looked at that instant, her first glimpse at me & hb, that first held of her warmly in our arms, how she changes each day, how she started her first giggling, her first smile at us, her first sound-alike call for me(mama) and hb(papa), her vaccination tortures, when she fell sick,etc..the list went on and on...

Well, today supposed to be a day that we all are looking forward and counting down to for her birthday celebration..but we came in shock when we checked her temperature at 5am, it showed 38.4 degree..S**T, her fever came back again..she got her 1st ever high fever (39 degree) on Tuesday, 24 November 2009..as mentioned in my previous blog post .

Me and hb had absolutely no idea why her fever came back, PD only told us to return back to KKH on thursday for suspected urinary infection if her fever didnt subside..but she was okay on thursday..so the next thing in our mind was she supposed to celebrate her birthday tonight..and we gonna perform the traditional customary birthday ceremony etc..so fan cos really dun know whether darling can take it or not..still we went straight to feed her paracetamol syrup first, thought at least let the fever cool down first..

And after awhile around 9am plus, her fever subsided..however, she started coughing with phelgm..me n hb tried calling The Kids Clinic, Kidslink, but they were closed for public holiday..so stressed cos we dun want her to go to KKH as most probably she will be attended by MO which I knew is as good as not seeing at all..haiz, so we just prayed hard that she can be strong and will bring her see doctor the next day (sat) instead..

Hb went to collect the Ang Ku Kueh from Serangoon Central around 9.45am..left me n darling n MIL at home..then darling started being cranky..I knew she was not really feeling well..and I dont noe why I oso became very panicky as I suddenly feel like rushing her to see any PD so that at least she can feel better, no need to suffer..but then its a Public Holiday and most PD clinics are closed..so frustrated..hb not around..then I went to call sharkfin and talked till I cried..dun noe why, maybe I too stressed up, kept thinking of the ceremony thingy and evening darling birthday celebration..all have been settled and yet darling fell sick..dun noe if she can take it or not...till I cried and cried..phew..darling seemed to know mummy is upset..then MIL helped to carry darling while I talked to sharkfin..then sharkfin helped to call San Jiumu..and she very nice helped me call many other PD clinics but they were all closed..so I decided to cook down, feed darling with some medication which got left over previously..and just monitor..felt much better after talking to San jiumu and sharkfin...then hb came home le and I felt more relieved..

After awhile, darling also seemed to feel better and we proceeded on with her 1year old birthday celebration...darling was quite cooperative through-out, though she behaved very "yang oh" and only want mummy me to carry and sayang her..well, I feel good lor and her daddy was very sore...

Our conclusion :-
1. Darling will look for her daddy if she is in her playing mood and wants to play...
2. Darling will look for her mummy if she is looking for comfort and wants someone to sayang her..
