My Encounter with HFMD

It was definately a experience for me. Ryan started to have fever and complain of throat pain. I did not think so much thought could be due to the bad weather recently.


He didnt get better so brought him to his PD and he had been diagnose with HFMD.. A few spots on his palms and feet.. ulcers inside his throat.. I knew he is feeling very terrible..


So i quickly went to stock up juices, milk, ice-cream etc.. as i know we will be confine to home for the next 5-7 days. Over the weekend, he got so bored and keep wanting to go out but we cant so had to explain to him and bought him a barney CD to entertain him.


On Monday, 12.07.10, took half day to go home having intention to look after him.. Who knows i dun feel too good either.. So quickly took a shower and went to bed.. hopping that i will be ok after a nap.. but i didnt. My temp keep rising.. So drag myself up and went to the doc.. Most clinics were closed but managed to find Raffles Medical still open.. so went in and took a Q.


Told the doc about my case as i am caring for my son.. So doc said i maybe infected and ask me to watch as my throat was hurting badly. My fever come and go.. and so i was given 3 days of MC.. Stayed home with Ryan looking after him and myself.. I told him i was sick.. he also sayang me.. hahaha.. sweet boy right.. But i am way too tired to do anything..

Hope this wont happen again.. It's torture for me and him..

Finally...

Finally Ryan has recovered and officially went back to school on last friday. He didnt want to go back and claimed that he had stomach pain while walking that flight of stairs linking to his school.
Thus i had to promised him a cup of bubble tea when i fetch him later after my work.

Been missing out of actitvies lately cos of the mcs taken by son and hubby. Work has been hectic too. Been staying back at work frequently of the increase workload though i had a new colleague that came in towards end of May.

Guess i will just given a recent update. We have officially sold off our Honda Stream yesterday. The car joined us on 23rd Dec 09 and will be leaving us this coming monday 21st Jun 10.
Hubby and I had gone through a long consideration before coming to this. As some of my close friends know that my flat has been taking a long toil on me. My cpf is running dry and we cant always dig into our savings to mend the holes. So we have to give up the car in order to substain the house for at least the next 6 months. Meanwhile, hubby will be driving a van back.. Hopefully with the departure of our car, we can have some savings and also substain the holes of the housing loan.

Take care Honda Stream and till we meet again.

Virus virus Go Away...

Since last week, Ryan has been sick. Thus, he has been quite clingly to me.

Last week monday, he complain of stomach pain so brought him to GP. Doc say could be some viral infection. It didnt help so Tue he was complaining on pain again till he curled up like a prawn. So brought him to Dr. Zainal. Diagnose with stomach flu so for the next few days.. no school for him. He got better over the weekend; recovered and went to school on monday..

Went to pick him up from school on Tue, teacher informed that he is running a temp. Was surprised cos he was ok throughout the whole day. So wed took half day to bring him to doc. Chinese doc say his body heat too hot thus causing him to have discomfort. All he need to do is to poo out all those toxic he will be better. Fever temp come up and down.. Mil keep asking me to send him to KKH.

Ultimately, i went. Spent almost $100 there. Doc also say is stomach flu. So given medication. Just have to watch him. For me, i have been quite restless too.. Too tired. Big one leg pain, small one stomach pain.

Wonder if i am the one down.. what will happen??

Joint LTH's Excursion to Hippo River Cruise & Singapore Flyers

On Friday,21st May, i was on "MC".. Didnt wanted to waste my annual leave so decided to get MC for Ryan's excursion.

Woke up at 630am to prepare myself and Ryan's belonging. Master Kuik woke up @ 8am and took his milk. Headed to school @9am. For this trip, i am surprised that some of ryan's classmates didnt come along. The bus came @920am and off we went to the 1st destination; Clarke Quay.

We took some pics upon arrival and the kids were simply excited. We took a slow walk to the jetty for the cruise. The kids were asked to line up to put on their life jacket. Ryan was cooperative enough.

Then we proceed on to the boat. They were so excited.. Didnt take much pics cos i had to sit down with him.. the ride took us about 30min to the other end of the river bank. We alighted at the Flyer. Again took some pics and had 15mins F&E time. So brought Ryan to the loo and change his diaper and to 7-11.. He requested for sweets..

We gathered at 1145am and headed for the flyer ride. Our capsule comprises for N1 and tods.. so we had a good time enjoying the scenery and with the kids walking about in the capsule. After the 30min ride, we headed to Popoyes for our lunch. Thumbs up but still prefer Arnolds chicken...

After our lunch, we had a parental talk. Quite enriching. After the talk, we went to look for our kids.. They were playing and sweating away.. and amazingly, they are still awake.. haa..

By the time we went to the lobby to wait for the bus.. most of them are tired.. Ryan slept during the bus ride.. Even when his teacher shouted "wakey wakey", he wasnt even awake by it.

After we touched down, i carry this sleepy boy home straight. Reached home, shower him.. he began to make noise.. i know he is getting cranky.. Tired.. so quickly dress him up and he slept again.. till 9plus.. woke up for his milk and head off to his lala land again.

Happy Mother's Day

Had a good sunday spent with HC and Ryan...

Early morning made them breakfast then start to do housework..

After that sent Mil and neighbour to Yishun Safra for Mother's Day Lunch. After that we went back home to rest. Both Ryan and HC had a nap before heading out to Pasir Ris beach for sand play.

Managed to take some pics and guess what?? We found lots of ants... we quickly grab Ryan and run.. Hahaha...

MIA mania

Looks like i have "disappeared" from blogging for quite awhile.

Been busy with work.. Never ending.. but of course, if we were to finish our work, we will be jobless soon..

Recently loads of hiccups at work.. shipment not being able to arrive on time, goods not being able to deliver to my customers smoothly. Feeling so frustrated at times... i know some things are not within my control.. as much as i like to help.. but i have a limit to certain things.

As for family issues... as usual.. problems created by mil and it's never ending. All her daughters can say is their mum is very extraordinary.. and what we can do is to see her with open heart. i dunno how long more can i be open. sigh.. dun want to talk abt her.. even now HC is upset with her and not on talking terms.

I just hope the rainbow will surface after the stormy weather..

Happy Birthday Ryan!

It's Ryan's 3rd bday today!

Happy Birthday my little precious boy... time flies.. Took leave from work as i had arranged with his school for his birthday celebration.
