Oct wasn't a very good month for Sean. He is down with high fever, with temperature going up and down from 37-40 degree for about 1 week plus. It wasn't a easy week for us either as when he is sick, he tends to be more cranky and demanding. Initially the doctor say it was due to his molar, 4 growing out together. However later part, his whole body started to develop patches of red rashes then only we realise he was having measiles. During that period, of course his food intakes drops, water intakes drop which is my main concern and fever up and down all the time. I was quiet worry because he simply refuse water even though his whole body is already very hot. So finally we got no choice but to buy him Yakult, which is his favorite drink, luckily he drinks it, at least there will be some liquid intake for him other then his milk.
I of course didn't get to sleep well, because I was busy checking his temperature the whole night, making sure he is not too hot nor too cold. After the fever, his cough comes back again, with him coughing very badly around 4-6am in the morning. Everyday without fail, I was quite curious as in how come he only cough during this timing. I seldom hear him coughing during the day or nite but just particularly this timing. Weird right??!!!It normally stops after he vomit out a portion of his milk intake before his series of coughing. So I really dont know what to do with his cough, in fact it has been like this for 4-5 months.
Even after we bring him to see different doc, it just simply never recover. K.K says it will stop eventually which until now it didn't. We went for chest x-ray which the Doc say is perfectly healthy. Then now they say it might be due to his sensitive nose, which causes the phlegm to stuck between his throat thus causing the cough. But after appplying the nose drop, apparently he is still coughing. My mum suggested that we bring him to Eu Yang Sen, for chinise medication which I agree since so far no progress from western Doc.
Hope that he will quickly recover from all this stupid virus.
Apart from the negative issue above, we also did have some fun with him during the month. Me and Jerry try our very best to spend as much as possible the quality time with him. We tried to do fun activities like cycling, swimming and learning together. Recently Jerry has been teaching Sean on the flash card that we bought very long ago. He can't read the words definetely, but when we ask him to point the correct thing out he did it. (not sure is coincident or he really understand). He likes to play with different type of transport toy, especially cars. We got him lots of cars, then bus, aeroplane, motor cycle and train. Everyday without fail he will bring his car to you and ask you to play with him. At times we will make use of the colors of the car to teach him colors.
He will turn 18mths old by end of this month, we are planning to send him to child care center. We have intention to send the maid back since we don't find her really suitable for us, so Jerry was thinking might as well send her back and send Sean to childcare. Cost involved is definetely higher, and the worst part is we have to do all the house cleaning on our own, apart from our busy working schedule during the weekdays. But so far nothing is concrete yet.
I will be posting some photos that we have taken during the month
