11 Jul 09, Saturday..
We popped over to Great Grand Parents place after the party. Dillion had a overdose on sour plums (5-6 pieces) over there and started having the runs at 7pm when we had to leave for another family dinner.
He soiled his diaper so we let him go diaperless without thinking that it was diarrhea.
Then he suddenly starting whinning and saying "Poot Poot" when we were out on way to dinner. I could only hug and pacify him to hang on..
He was trying to control his bowel movements but was not able to so he soiled his pants.
After a few visits to the loo with watery poo and having to borrow diapers from my cousin.. we had to leave the dinner early.
Kevin and I felt very guilty because we actually scolded D for not informing us in advance of his intention to poo.. not knowing our boy is unwell.
He again woke me up at 6am, dragging me to the toilet to poo again..
I bought him to the PD on Sundy and was chided by the PD for giving that much sour plum to him. Rightfully they can only consume 1 sour plum a time otherwise it be too harmful for their kidney.
I stopped his milk feed for next couple of days and cooked soupy meals for him. He still in his hyper active self.

Flu Attack
1-5 June 09:
It started with mild running nose the previous weekend then the phlegmy cough and fever came along on Monday. We visited the GP and paid $60 for 6 medicines.
My heart ache when I hear him coughing again.. Dillion been diagnosed with sensitive airways and been having cough attacks since start of this year. Only recent weeks that attacks were less frequent.
The medicine and the anti-biotics which i suspect to cause Dillion turned into a cranky and grouchy boy.
He reject his milk but took on well with solids (thank God!).. He scream murder when he sees me coming with a milk bottle.
Suddenly he became difficult to handle kid. He threw tantrums at the slightest things..
Cry when we ask him to pack up his toys, Scream when i ask him to pee in the toilet. Once he is on his crying phase, he would lie on the floor and refuse to let us carry him.
My heart break looking at him.. we tried very hard to control our temper as we know he is not well but yet we can't tolerate his behaviour.
Thankfully Kevin was around to help out otherwise I would have gone bonkers!
The flu bug has now gone for good since Friday.. and right after I stopped his Flu medicine.. the monster in him seem to have gone with the wind as well!

His Cough review..
Brought Dillion to the PD- Dr Oh for his cough review. D had been coughing occasionally so I thought to bring him to ensue that his lungs are cleared.
Last Fri, after giving him a strawberry tetra milk pack.. he started coughing during his GUG lesson that I got to pull him out after 15min of lesson.. I played my part as a responsible parent :).
So I talked to Dr Oh about it and she told me that Strawberry milk is actually one of the food trigger for cough.. Hence I must pay special attention to his food intake to ensure a proper recovery of his health.
Food with artificial preservatives are to be avoided. She wrote me a short list:
1. Chocolate
2. Tau Kwa
3. Lapis kueh (9-layer coloured kueh)
4. Honey
5. Peanuts
6. Jam

Yucky "Klacid"
Dillion was prescribed his first dose of antibiotic- Klacid from his PD visit last week.
PD advised to mix it with fruit juice, ribena or other flavour juices.. but i proudly told her that my son loves taking medicine and I should not have problem feeding him.
Boy was I wrong when he spit out and make a mess of it.. the medicine is white in colour with powdered granules. I tasted it and it so sucky and yucky with a bitter aftertaste.
So next best option is to add it to his milk which he drank it unsuspectingly.
Thankfully he is fine with the rest of his medicine.
His phlegm is cleared after 1 week of medicine and hopefully his lungs will be cleared too.

Cough & new PD clinic
Dillion been coughing badly and it had developed into a phlegmy cough and hoping that his lungs will not be affected, we brought him to a newly opened PD clinic which is very near our place.
And the PD- Dr Oh ever seen D before when she was at the Paediatric Clinic when we brought him for his jab when he was 6months old.
We were surprised to find a play area upstairs and a changing table..
Dr Oh was lamenting that with the deadly bug in the air.. Parents chose to see GP or self-medicate and when it does not improved and comes back to the PD.. means they have to give anti-biotic which most be due to recession.
Anyway, Dr Oh confidently told us that D's cough will be cured within a week as his lungs sound alright which make me felt so relieved!
With 4 types of medicine and a ear drop (to remove big piece of ear wax stuck in his ear) makes us $108 poorer.
Update:
After 1 day of medication, D stopped hacking away though there is still phlegm when he cough.
At Day 4.. He is feeling much better! Less cough and able to sleep better..

Allergy..
Sunday night, Dillion woke up at midnight scratching his legs and could not go back to sleep.
We were shocked to see patches that looks like mozzie bites all over his legs. We realised thats skin allergy as none of us had mozzie bite at all.
We applied layer of Mopiko, Calamine lotion and Aloe Vera gel to soothe the itch. We were so worried and do not know whats the cause of this breakout.
Dillion is not allergy to any food that i know since we been feeding him all kinds of stuffs. Perhaps is a tiny bit of prawn that i given him that night.. but he ate prawns before and nothing happen.
Or perhaps its the Johnson baby lotion that contains Vit E which I applied on his legs for the first time? He been using Johnson's BedTime body lotion all the while till i changed to the one which contains Vit E.
I'm a guilty mum!! I'm may be the indirect cause of his allergy! And so frustrating that we do not know whats the cause so that we can avoid the food/lotion in future.
Next morning, the rashes on his leg subside but it somehow spread to both his arms:
Thankfully Dillion was not cranky at all, behaving normally at home.. playing with his favourite toys for the moment:
The rashes on his hands subside in the afternoon.. otherwise we have to bring him down to KKH- A&E!

This week happenings.. Fever strikes!!!!
Mon
We were out at Junction 8 on Mon evening when I felt D's forehead was warm. Fed him paracetamol and he did not want his last milk feed.
Tue
Kevin took leave and we brought D to the GP. Fever was moderate for the whole day. No appetite for milk at all but was able to take his solids. Have to spoon feed him water in order to keep him hydrate.
D was in his usual self and not restless at all. Thank God.
Wed
Kevin took half day leave to help me out as both of us did not have enough sleep.
Fever gone down finally and he recovered.
Finally able to drink his 1st and last milk feed.
Thurs & Fri
Home alone with the boy as Daddy has to work. It was tough handling D as he turned super sticky to me at home.
Clinging on to me like a kola when he wakes up in the morning and after his nap.
Refused to be put down and even need me to accompany him to watch his Barney.
Ended up he sat on the kitchen floor watching me cook his meals.
Milk appetite back to normal but still rejecting his afternoon milk feed.
Fever
After D's fever episode in June, Kevin and I are better prepared and handled the situation pretty well.
We fed paracetamol diligently for every 3 hours which help to bring down his fever fast.
And I did not fret over D's poor appetite and did not force him to eat or drink.
GP did advise that due to his molar eruptions, he may not want to drink his milk as its painful having to suck the teat.
Stickiness
We do not know why Dillion became so sticky to us at home that I told Kevin that D is like a leech at home.. clinging on to me.
Photo taken using my laptop's web cam when i had to accompany him to watch his Barney:
D laid on my legs (refusing to let me go to the kitchen to prepare his meals)for half and hour whilst watching his Barney.. which is very rare of him as he will normally moves around the house, messing things up.

His eyes..
Earlier, i blog about something is not wrong with Dillion.
Many passer by, strangers, friends, relatives etc had all raised their concern and pointed out to us that D has got 'cross-eyed', also known as Squint or lazy eyes.
His left eye always turn inwards and its obvious if you have looked closely at all the photos posted on this blog.
Initially i chose to ignore since PD had not said anything and harbour hopes that it will self-correct as he gets older but when people keep alerting me thus I need to do something fast and remedy it since he is still young.
So an appointment was made with KKH's eye clinic (for kids)on 17 July.
D with Daddy @ clinic
D struggled when Doc patch the good eyes (right eye) but when he patch the lazy left eye.. he did not struggled much.
My heart dropped when he said for us to go for further test .. he mumbled to the nurse " put eye drop, see optometrist etc" I thought die lah.. this boy may have to wear specs.
End of it all.. Doc's diagnosis was that he has a squint and may have long sightedness and we have to go back again for further test to confirm which treatment he needs.
And if he really has got weak eye muscle.. a surgery may be necessary.
So now we need to patch his good right eye an hour a day.
Trust me its a torture and painful experience for me.. when i look at him:
I asked myself.. what has i done wrong when i was pregnant or what have i not done right when he was born?? Is it because i did not do any eye exercise with him?
Anyhow, the doc assured me that its no fault of us as this condition is in-born and not hereditary and definitely not due to watching TV!

Roseola Fever rash..
I forgot to blog about this that when D was down with high fever 2 weeks back, he had Roseola Fever Rash on the 5th day, after his fever went down.
This is also known as Fasle measles which looks like rashes on their body & face. Thankfully his rashes was mild and only on his body. We had to let him wear light and keep him cool.

When he was sick..
Looking after a child in discomfort is so challenging and demanding as he can't communicate and relate his wants and needs to the care giver.
Dillion cried the most for the past few days. The adults at home pamper him as everyone is heartache to see him down with high fever for so many days.
We fought hard to make him drink his milk and wasted so much milk powder.
Spoon-feeding medicine used to be a breeze until 3rd day where we had medicine splatterd all over the bed/clothes as we fought to have him swallowed them. In the end, it was the syringe that saved the day.
To conclude..
His fever subside on Tues but appeptite still not good. He was back to his active self on that day.
He finally recovered on Thurs and ate as per normal.
It was a learning and trying time for everyone but we are glad we made it and the boy has lost some weight :(.

Valuable lessons/tips on Fever ..
A few tips on fever management which i picked up from my cousin doctor and a helpful nurse from TMC and for my future reference
Care:
1. Give right dosage of medicine based on your child's weight
2. Check their hands and legs for rashes
3. Sponge and check their temperature regularly
4. Dress light and on air-con
5. We can still bath them
Medicine:
~To give Paracetamol every 4hourly instead of the normal 6hourly interval.
~Give Nurafen if fever peaks 38.5 & above at a 6 hour interval.
~Which means we must alternate between Para & Nura
~Even if fever falls to normal range during the day, we must adhere to 4hour interval of Paracetamol to ensure fever goes down completely
~Must not miss a single Para feed and to wake up in middle of night to monitor and give Para.
Suppository- not advisable for the moment as it may causes side effect eventhough its best remedy
Food:
Its normal that our child not to have appetite for their favourite meal and even milk. Thus not a cause of concern
Leave them alone if they reject food.
Not neccessary to feed them water after medicine for water may even cause vomiting
However we must ensure they eat once they recover.
Vomiting:
Fever causes vomiting. Sometimes what they consume be it a small mouthful of water will cause vomiting.
If they continue to vomit after recover from fever , means they have stomach/gastric flu.
After care:
If fever persist after 2-3days, to see a doctor again or go straight to hospital during office hours in order to do a blood test
========================================
on TMC outpatient service
I'm glad that we made the right choice of going to TMC instead of KKH as we may have to wait x hours to see a doctor at KKH. Anyhow, KKH will stil be the ultimate choice if a child need to be warded for further tests.
At TMC, we saw a doctor 5min after registering.

$82

Unexciting weekend!
Saturday:
Dillion had mild fever during the day but temperature rose to 39.5 at night which is high grade fever.
We sponge and fed him paracetamol.
I made a boo boo by underfeeding him the required dosage of paracetamol as i was actually looking at my old stock of medicine in my fridge when it state 1.25ml dated Oct 07. After checking with my doctor-cousin then i realised we have to feed the right amount of dosage based on their weight!. Immediately discard and look at his new ones which state 2.5ml.
Sunday:
His temp went down and we were very much relieved thinking he is on road to recovery.
But his appetite was lousy, rejecting everything i offered including milk. He shove away my bowl of mee-sua for lunch so i quickly cooked porridge and yet it was rejected too!
I was in panic mode and almost pulling my hair off as I don't wish for him to be dehydrated.
In the evening, his temp hit 38.5 and off we go to the GP.
Diagnosis:
Fever could be either cause by injection or onset of flu
Given these medicines:
Came back and fed him Nurofen at 7.45pm.
However, his fever was stil ragging high and even hit 39.8 despite a stronger medicine thus we trooped down to TMC- 24hr outpatient at 1am.
Doc gave the same diagnosis as the GP thus nothing much we can do but to monitor and feed medicine.
We were dead tired and its indeed an expensive and a painful weekend for the Ngs

Shoo away Fever..
Dillion's body felt warm after the jab. We fed him paracetamol and the boy was still in his usual self, refusing to even take his 11am nap.
He finally caved in and slept from 3-5pm. He woke up feeling warm again and we started sponging and feeding him med.
We thought he was well and brought him out to nearby coffeeshop for dinner. However he was very quiet throughout which is unlike him. We hurried home and were shocked that his temperature was hovering around 39 to 39.5 degree.
We started sponging every 30 min and he hates it and even rejected the fever pad.
We bathed him at 9.30pm and his temperature came down a little.
Later, I laid on the bed with him watching TV. There he was lying down beside me, looking so dazed and quiet which is so very much unlike him.
At that very moment, i start to miss his active times where he will climb about, and attempting to stand on the bed.
I want my boy to go back to his usual self!!!
I certainly regretted bringing him for a jab and I'm not sure if its linked to Pneu jab as he had never ever had a fever after a jab.
As of now his temp is 38.3 degree *phew*.

Sick
Dillion succumb to cold and cough virus last week due to crappy weather. He still as lively and active with a running nose.

photo taken at wee hour of 1.35am on 13 Mar:
Thanfully, his fever went down the next day and we bought him to see his GP on thursday.

Coughing Fits
Dillion went into one of the worst coughing fits on Sunday. I can't do anything to make him feel better as he does not know how to cough out phlegm. The pent up frustration in me was almost on verge of breaking down and carry him to A&E to put him on nebuliser but hubby would rather wait and see.
I'm really glad to be back at work and not at home listening to his cough inorder to remain sane. Anyway, hubby took urgent childcare leave (in case my MIL can't cope) as i unable to as i have to do my month end closing *sheesh*.
His condition improve and he is not coughing as bad as before. Thank God!

Sick again
Yes, my dear son not yet recovered from his phlegmmy cough and now he is down with slight fever.
Weather is quite chilly lately and furthermore we had been sleeping in air-con room so i guess it will take longer for Dillion to recover.
Went back to the same PD at Bishan (which i swear never to patronise the clinic again)..seem like there is no fast remedy for cough.. we can only pray hard that phlegm will dissolve on its own. PD mention that cough is the thoughest to cure.
Anyway, Dillion is at his bestest behaviour when he is sick. Because he does not fidget about when you carry him.. he just stay still and quiet and was quite restless.
Of couse i appreciate the peaceful night as he did not shout at all :)
Really pray hard that Dillion will recover fast... feel like inserting a tube on my own to draw out his phlegm... so uncomfortable seeing him in this state..

Went back to the same PD at Bishan (which i swear never to patronise the clinic again)..seem like there is no fast remedy for cough.. we can only pray hard that phlegm will dissolve on its own. PD mention that cough is the thoughest to cure.
Anyway, Dillion is at his bestest behaviour when he is sick. Because he does not fidget about when you carry him.. he just stay still and quiet and was quite restless.
Of couse i appreciate the peaceful night as he did not shout at all :)

Cough
Got a call at 6pm from my MIL that Dillion is down with fever and cough with phlegm. Pack my stuff and rush out of office to go back home. Manage to checkout PD's opening hours beforehand.
Back home, fed paracetamol as he got slight fever and prepare him to see PD together with my sis-in-law.
In a hurry (as i was worried), i forgot to bring the sling so both of us have to take turn to carry him.
Luckily his fever subside when PD was examining him. PD weigh him and he is now at 7.5kg.
Given cough and phlegm syrup. The boy is still in his normal self so its a relief for me. But pained to hear him having a phlegmmy throat.
