So Poor Thing...

My darling has been sick for a few days. So poor thing, she's still so small and young, and yet she got to take medicines and use the nabiliser every 4 hours.

It's causing such a heart pain when we administer the nabiliser for her because almost immediately, she will look sedated. At the beginning, I thought it could be because the vapours relieved her stuffy nose so she felt very comfortable. But now, I am beginning to think it's because of the medicinal effect, that's why she is sedated and goggy.

But still, thank God so much because we brought her to the doctor after she started coughing for 2 days, therefore her condition is not so serious that she needs to be hospitalised. Because she is alittle chesty, the nabiliser will help to clear the phlepm (can never figure out how to spell this!). Phlepm needs to be cleared because viruses grow & cultivate in them.

Her cough has subsided quite alot these 2 days. Last night she totally didn't cough and I just called home to ask my mother in law who told me that she has not coughed since morning too! Praise the Lord. Now just wait for her cold to subside.

We brought Joey to see this really good doc at Gleneagles called Dr YY Yip. Many of our church staff see him for their kids as well. He is a renowned paediatrist in Singapore and we're comfortable seeing him. Joey seems to like him too because she smiled at him while he was examining her. Anyway, Dr Yip did tell us that infant coughs usually take 14 days to clear and they often peak on the 5th and 6th day. So thank God for His supernatural healing.

But Joey is such a great kid. Despite the discomfort, blocked nose and all the coughing, she did not make that much a fuss. Unlike most kids who will whine and cry, she did not cry much, but only wanted to be carried when she is awake. Like what Bro Fei said, she is such a resilient child.

Thank you for all your prayers & concern, guys. :)

God, complete healing in Jesus' Name!
