Hubby and I had one of the worst nightmares when Ted vomitted excessively on Sunday night. Actually last Friday, hubby took him to see the Paedatrician because he was coughing. It turned out that Ted has tonsilitis. That explains why he didn’t really want to eat solids last week. We thought it was the coughing that made him lose his appetite.
The excessive vomitting was a different matter. Or was it because he didn’t really eat that he got gastric? I don’t know.. *sigh* Anyway, on Monday (which happens to be the day we celebrated Tessa’s fullmoon), we thought he would get better. We tried giving him 100plus or water but he couldn’t keep it down. He hasn’t passed urine since Sunday night too. Hubby and I were so worried about him. He wasn’t himself and we didn’t like it at all. After the party, we decided to bring him to Damai Hospital. He was admitted for dehydration and was put on the drips. When the doctor poked the needle into his left hand, he only said ‘ouwww, ouwwww, ouchhh!!’ but didn’t cry! I actually went out of the room because I was so scared to see him being poked. Hubby stayed to hold him. When I went inside, the doctor said ‘You’ve got a brave boy here!’.
Praise God after an hour, he wanted to pee. That was a good sign. Then he started talking about cars, Mr. Bean and other things. Phewwww! He was getting better! He was discharged yesterday after lunch time. Now, he is recovering well, though he’s still coughing occasionally. He’s going for review on Friday.
My eldest sister and brother have also gone through similar experiences. My sister’s youngest son was also admitted to the hospital due to dehydration a couple of years ago. It was a more serious case. One of the salts was missing in his body, and he was super weak. Thank God he recovered after undergoing treatment for a few days. My brother’s two sons were admitted to the hospital too because of dehydration (diarrhoea and vomitting) on two separate occasions.
When our kids vomit or have diarrhoea, we mustn’t take things lightly. Losing water from body is a serious matter. I just can’t describe my feelings when Ted was so fragile. I was crying and feeling sad, and praying so hard for his speedy recovery.
We are so grateful to the Lord for looking after us. Really, really grateful.
We celebrated Tessa’s fullmoon on 1st June at hubby’s grandpa’s place. Tessa was sleeping most of the time while her guests were happily eating, talking and drinking.
… I met three of my blogging friends for the first time! Cool, eh?
Last Saturday, Shirley visited me and Tessa together with her daughter, Chrissa. It was so nice to see her at last. We’ve been online friends since I started blogging but never had the chance to meet each other although we live just a few minutes’ away! Anyway, we’ve promised to meet up for lunch before I return to work in July. Nanti kita arrange, ah, Shirl!
On Sunday, after my hair wash, hubby and I went to Citymall. Guess who I met there at the Vote Sipadan booth? It was Rozella! Yayyy! My niece Carly is working part-time with STB so she introduced me to Rozella at the booth. Small world, eh?
On Monday, finally, I met Edna whom I got in touch with in the middle of last year. At that time, both of us were having early pregnancy problems. I contacted her via email and we’ve been in touch ever since. It’s so lovely to see you at last, Ed! It was nice to meet her hubby too! Edna’s baby Rovilson was born 3 days before Tessa. hehe
I suppose, how and what we write in our blogs do reflect how we are in real life. I feel I’ve known them for a quite a long time by reading their blogs. So there you go. I feel blessed to finally meet these beautiful ladies!
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
The Holy Spirit is my healer, my counsellor, my teacher, my knowledge. A blessed Pentecost Sunday to you!
I’m one of those unlucky ones who haven’t had the chance (YET!) to experience harvesting (mongomot, in Kadazan) paddy. How sad is that? The only consolation I have is that I’ve planted (mananom) paddy (many years ago) along with the experience being covered in mud and all. I don’t remember being bitten by leeches though… I planted 1 long line of paddy and that already made me tired! Imagine those wonderful people planting paddy day in and day out. I really salute them! You know, there’s something about the paddy fields that makes you eat loads! I remember having rice and salted fish for lunch. Boy, was it yummy!
Talking about paddy planting and harvesting, in Sabah, we celebrate Kaamatan (paddy harvesting festival) the entire month of May but today and tomorrow are the peak of celebration at the state level. Many people from all walks of life are flocking KDCA in Kg. Koidupan, Penampang as I type this post. Unfortunately this year, I’m unable to attend the celebration. Next year la..
So, dear friends, Kotobian Tadau Kaamatan (Happy Harvest Festival) to all of you. Here’s a Kaamatan song, enjoy!
My brother-in-law (hubby’s brother) is a computer man. Whenever he comes to visit us, I always ask him to service my laptop. He always says “Yeah, sis, why am I not surprised? I’ve expected you to ask me to do so!” He is really our handy computer man in the family, and he is only a phone call away! Before I decided to get my laptop a couple of years ago, I consulted him first then made my decision.
Anyway, for those interested to Buy Computer Equipment, you can check it out online. Who knows, you will find what you are looking for at a very good bargain!
My parents’ house was built in 1987 in our hometown. However, due to a serious termite problem, the house had to be torn down to make way for a new one. The site has been cleared and the termite control team has checked out the area. Construction will begin in the middle or latest the end of June, after the house plan has been agreed and finalised.
Anyway, last month, I tagged along with my eldest sister and Mum to check out tiles, kitchen sinks, flooring and other home-related stuffs. We were so excited to see the variety of choices for the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. For the laundry room, Mum wants a huge sink so she can also do washing in there. There will be a wet kitchen in the new house too. We haven’t finalised what tile colours, type of flooring or the interior decorations yet. We took many brochures to help us decide. I am also excited to choose the curtains. I can’t wait to do that. It sounds as if I’m decorating my own house, eh?
We hope the new house will be completed before Christmas. Then we can decorate the house with Christmas decoration and a huge tree! Oooh, that is so exciting!
During Christmas last year, there was a promotion in 1Borneo on lightings. I am one of those people who love lamps. During the promotion, I got a lamp which is versatile enough to be placed in the living room or the bedroom. It is simple but yet gives a cosy ambience once switched on. I’m thinking of getting another lamp soon.
Anyway, if you are looking for the perfect island light fixtures that complement your surrounding kitchen decor with beauty and style, go online and you will surely find them. There are many fantastic offers online. Go ahead and enjoy!
My hubby is a big fan of Liverpool FC. He would wake up in the wee hours of morning to watch a live match. I guess, there are many out there who are really into futsal and/or soccer. Even our children are interested. In fact, just recently, hubby bought them a little football with a Liverpool logo all over it!
Anyway, if you always play as a goalkeeper during a match, you may want to check the Goalkeeper Gloves online. There are various choices of soccer clothings for men and women of all ages. Check it out ya!
I will only return to work in early July. Isn’t that blissful? I’m still deciding whether to take additional leave for say another week or so. We shall see near the return-to-office date, eh?
So, what’s my to do list after my confinement? For now, these are the things I want to do:
1. First thing first, have a good hair wash before Tessa’s fullmoon
Then, not necessarily in order (may be some of them are done at the same time.. keke) -
2. Do rebonding and colour me hair (haven’t decided what shade yet)
3. Go shopping! Yahoooooo! Need to buy new pairs of shoes… May be baju also…
4. Update my blog regularly
5. Make sure my Farm is well kept (kekeke)
6. Write a paper based on my MSc thesis and hope to publish in one of the journals (my former supervisor has been bugging me to write one.. )
7. Do more research on certain two things (they remain a secret for now…) I’d like to do in the near and not-so-near future
Seven in the list so far, eh? Do you think I can do them all within a month or so?
Of course, there are other to-do things that I do everyday for my family that are not listed here lah.. Mummy’s 24/7 to-do list is all in my head already.. keke I believe you mums out there know what I mean.
Ok dokey.. that’s the list for now. I shall now return to my Farm while Tessa and Ted are still sleeping.. Have a lovely middle of the week y’all!
Actually last Friday, hubby took him to see the Paedatrician because he was coughing. It turned out that Ted has tonsilitis. That explains why he didn’t really want to eat solids last week. We thought it was the coughing that made him lose his appetite.
