Noooh, No wan, No need.

My poor little darling got ill. It started out with a little cough and runny nose, before it developed into high fever. Medication from the GP did not work and we bought you to KK Hospital “A&E” twice over the weekend. Like all kids, going through a “big time” illness is like a rite of passage. It breaks my heart to see you like this. You never had problems eating, drinking or taking medication. But after looking at your arsenal of prescription, no prizes for guessing how you are coping.


Now, the presence of Daddy holding onto a syringe is enough to set you off crying. Your piercing screams from medicine time has somewhat worried our neighbours as well, whom had been asking if you are doing okay. Most worrying is your refusal to drink water. This illness has obviously taken toil on you, you seem to weight half a kg lighter and the chubby-ness around your arms and bottom seems gone.


The only consolation is that your cheeks are as rosy and fluffy as ever, which means you are still ever adorable. Going through this dreadful period with you, also meant going back to basics. When you were an infant, we had to track your body temperature and the amount of times you ‘pooh’.


Daddy and Mommy hope you get well soon and your friends in school miss you too. Meanwhile, Mommy will be indulging you by showering you with endless “Dora themed” accessories.
