My Poor Baby

I took a childcare leave yesterday to nurse Anaqin.

It all started on Tuesday nite when my helper called to inform me that Anaqin vomited after his milk feed. I was having dinner at Funan Ctr then with the gerls and Apit. After the phonecall terus hilang selera nak makan..too worried for my baby.

Darl called to say that he's on the way home. So he met us at Funan and Apit drove us home. Fetched Anaqin n my helper n off we went to Karri Clinic - recommended by my sista. The doc was nice lah. He really knows how to deal with kids. If Anaqin is serasi with him, then maybe I'll stick to this doc. We'll see how la.

Went to work on Wed thinking that Anaqin would feel better after his medication but I was wrong! When me & darl came back from work, the helper told us that he was cranky all day and his temp has risen. We didnt have proper sleep that nite, coz Anaqin was acting up. Pasted the fever patch on him to make him comfy.

So yesterday I took the day off coz I can't bear to leave him alone esp. when he's sick. Sponged him every 2hrs in order to bring down his temperature. After his nite feed last nite, he slept for a while before being woken up by his coughs. And me being a light sleeper woke up too. He then tilted his head to one side and vomited! It always breaks my heart to see him that way. He just sat there..all weak and sleepy..while I cleaned up the mess and changed his PJ. But I think the vomit cleared his system and he felt and slept better afterwards.

When I left for work this morning, Anaqin was still asleep. Checked his temperature and am glad that its gone down. The last time I called home, darl told me that he's up and running already. Syukur Alhamdulillah!
