Daddy is sick

Virus dear virus... Why don't you want to leave our family yet? Ya... after Jaiden and mummy down with flu (still not recovered till now), daddy's turn to fall sick now. Daddy was sick on Sunday and he is on MC today. Praying hard that the flu bug will leave our family soon... Poor Jaiden has been suffering from flu for 10 days already. Could it be the parents' fault? We did not bring Jaiden to see the paed because we do not want him to be so dependent on the medication. We hope his body will fight with the virus, hence boost up his immune system and antibody.

Jaiden has been enjoying his nice porridge over the weekend. Mummy tested, and agreed that it's yummy!!! Mummy will do the same porridge for the family soon ;-)

Mummy is sick

Never cross my mind to blog about me falling sick. It was hubby's idea to blog it (kind of domino effect?) since the previous blog was "Jaiden is sick". Jaiden is yet to recover, there comes another sick people at home. Daddy, be strong ya!!

I am down with flu as well (virus from Jaiden most likely). Took MC yesterday and rested at home. After sending hubby to work and Jaiden to Ngo Jeh, I went to Poliklinik Pertama to see doctor. Then, went home and took medication and slept at about 10:30am. Until what time? Hehehe... this lazy and sick mummy slept until 3:00pm, still want to continue... but forced myself up to refresh a bit, went online and eat some bread for the 4:00pm medication. Still FB-ing until 4:30pm, took a quick shower and left home at 5:00pm to fetch hubby from work and Jaiden from Ngo Jeh.

I'm at work today, but constantly went to the ladies to make wantan as my nose is basically blocked the whole day. Maybe left with 1/6 section (in the nostril) for me to breath. Not a good idea to go to work... should have taken 2 days MC...

Totally out of scope... (non-Jaiden related). But here goes some photos of Jaiden taken with his Police car.

Jaiden is sick

Sigh... Something that is unavoidable. Jaiden is down with flu starting last Saturday. This makes him more cranky as compared to normal days. Where did he gets the virus from? The other kid that Ngo Jeh is taking care of la.... This boy is having flu last week. Despite how Ngo Jeh asked him not to go near Jaiden, he will go near Jaiden, kiss him, play with him, etc... Me and hubby have already predicted that Jaiden will catch flu soon.

We gave Jaiden the flu medication prescribed by paed. (from the last round he had flu) at night. Nevertheless, he had difficulty breathing and he woke up a few times in the middle of the night. Neither hug, carry nor swing can tame him down. We fed him some warm water and soon after that he fall asleep. The next day, I decided not to give him the flu medication anymore as too much "western" medication will make him very "yeok". I gave him 1/2 of "bao ying dan" in the morning after his breakfast. Jaiden had difficulty to take his morning nap as well. He only managed to sleep for an hour. I gave him the other 1/2 of "bao ying dan" at night before he go to sleep. At last, I don't see any difficulty of him breathing when I tuck him to sleep then.

Feverish due to teething

Jaiden's temperature is going up and down since yesterday morning. According to the paediatrician, as long as the reading shows below 37.5C, then Jaiden is not having fever. For Jaiden, the reading is ranging from 36.9C - 37.4C. This is consider high for him as his normal temperature is between 36.4C - 36.9C. Since Jaiden is in his teething stage now (so far he has only 2 developing teeth - bottom center), it's not a surprise that his temperature fluctuates a bit. We can also see his 2 front teeth coming out. Hopefully he is fine and not going through much discomforts.

A note to remember :-)

Jaiden's 1st tooth is visible at his 11th months. From the front view, it would be the bottom center, towards the right ;-)

Oral fungus

Jaiden has developed oral fungus, thanks to the confinement lady!!! Oral fungus is caused by unhygienic way of preparing milk. The paed asked us how did we prepare Jaiden's milk. We told him what the confinement lady does normally. She will boil the bottles once a day in the morning. THAT'S ALL!! After feeding Jaiden, she will wash the bottles with plain water and soak it back into the same pot of water that she boiled in the morning. Urrrrggghhh!!! I didn't know that's how she prepare milk for Jaiden. Due to this, Jaiden has to suffer from oral fungus. And due to this too, we have to change all the bottle teats and the pacifier.
Paed prescribed Jaiden Daktarin Oral Gel. We have to apply the gel on the pacifier and let Jaiden to suck. This medication is very effective. After applying once, we saw a major improvement in Jaiden's mouth. The fungus has reduced a lot. After 5 times, fungus in Jaiden's mouth has totally disappeared.

Now onwards, I have to take control on sterilizing all the bottles to make sure that they are clean before every feed.

Not too clear, but some fungus grown on Jaiden's lips can be seen...
