A Mth of Updatez!
Oh No.. I juz realised I din update blogs for almost a mth. Too much work on hand, plus too stressful at home. Hai~ Now then can breathe a bit wif some updatez!
HFMD – 12/5/09
This is an unfortunate case. Ah boy suddenly had fever & the childcare called us to pick him up as they worry it’s a case of HFMD. His CC has been spreading HFMD virus ard.. so tt y teachers panic when the kids are running fever. MIL had to pick ah boy up after her market trip.
13/5/09
Thought ah boy has recovered, so sent him to CC while I go for my detailed check-up wif hb. Half way waiting for my turn, teacher called me again to say Ah boy is running fever. MIL has went on a overseas holidays. So we had to rush back to his CC to pick him. As he was in the midst of recovering fr his usual cough & flu virus, so we thought the fever was nothing much.
14/5/09
Worry tt I be called up again for ah boy’s fever, so thought of taking Childcare Leave n stayed home wif ah boy. Although he has no fever, but I thought of bringing him to see doctor to get some more cough & flu medicine since he finished his previous medic. Den at the doctor, I casually mentioned tt his school mates are down wif HFMD, so doc examine his mouth n spotted 1 ulcer. Straight away, he accused ah boy of having HFMD! Wat the heck! He has no fever for the whole day yet, only 1 mouth ulcer, no red spots on his hand & foot! The idiot doctor din even bother to examine his hand & foot and anyhow come up wif a conclusion based on past 2 day of slight fever, classmate’s case of HFMD & 1 mouth ulcer. Juz like that, he stopped ah boy from school, report the case to school & MOH!
I’m not trying to be an irresponsible parent, but ah boy is totally well! He ate as usual, eating almost every hour, drinking every sweet drinks he can find! The mouth ulcer has no impact on his appetite. So the nxt few days, I brought him out as usual. To my parent’s hse so I can go work on Friday. Sunday, I brought him to his shishida class. Coz no fever outbreak since the day he visited that stupid doctor. Mouth ulcer has cleared. Mon, hb took care of him as he’s on leave. Tue I took leave again. And I brought him back to the same clinic, but different doctor. This time round, the doctor immediately clear him of the so-called HFMD virus. I complaint abt the previous visit, but this doc say he cant comment much as he wasn’t the doctor for the last visit. Immediately after the doc visit, Childcare called & told me of another kid down wif HFMD. Hai~ wonder y the kids luv to spread the virus ard.
Anyway, I learnt my lesson. 1stly, avoid this stupid clinic for their lousy doctor! 2ndly, don extra tell the doctors abt his classmates having HFMD.
Since he took a wk of break, he has grown stronger now. He haven’t been sick since he returned to school, which is a great thing!
Hair Cut
I learnt something from the shishida class – Stickers! I really understand how does rewards means so much to kids, even though they don’t really understand much. Ah boy has always fear cutting his hair. So everytime we passed by the hair salon, he will pull us away in fear. Everytime we mentioned abt cutting his hair, he shake his head repeatedly. Until 1 day, I told him, if he cut his hair, I will give him STICKER. Den he agreed to his hair cut.
So the big day came when we finally brought him to the hair salon. Hb had his hair cut 1st, so he can carried ah boy later during his hair cut. Ah boy waited patiently for his turn to arrive. This time round, he willing to sit on the chair by himself, wif the big cloth around his neck. In the past, the cloth is normally wrapped ard us, so we don kena the fallen hair bit. When the shaver cut 1 round of his hair, he sat there calmly.. till the hair drop onto his face when he begin to cry. Still he hold on to his seat. Struggling abit, but is doing great and is able to finish his hair cut. He was rewarded wif sweet from the hair salon, plus a sticker from me. And he stopped crying the min his hair is cut finish & hair bit removed from his face n neck. I’m so proud of him. It shown he has grown up & over-come his fear of hair cut.
In 3 wks time, will be bringing him to a chalet. Hope he behaves and enjoys himself.
