Swollen Lips

Poor Lil Nigel Fell & hurt his lips...
:(

Age of Bumps and Bruises

Lil Nigel is really active now. Crawling, climbing, touching.. He can't keep still for a single second. I wan to die of tiredness chasing after him. So tired that I have not updates my blog for a really long long time.... But Worst still is the heartache looking at his injuries.. Sighs.. it seems that almost everyday he will fall, bump his head or knock into something. Poor Boy !!

Lil Nigel is Sick ...

Poor Nigel is Down Down Down with Fever. I suspect he was sick on Sat already. He was crying for my mum in the middle of the Night so I had to carry him over. He fell asleep really fast the moment my mum carried him. Next morning, Shawn and I pop over my Mum's to see him before We leave for work but the Lil Guy was still sleeping which was odd but we thought he was just tired. Later on I receive a call that he had fever. I was really worried but No PD was open unless I want to bring him to KKH. But I dun really trust the Doctors there plus with all the sick patients there. So decided to wait till Monday to bring him down. Luckily my manager changed my Off for me to Monday. Shawn and I brought him to Dr Teoh at 10am yesterday. His fever was gone. Everything was ok. The moment we got home, my Dad realise tat his Fever has came back. It kept creeping higher and higher. At 1130pm, it was at 39.2 ! Poor Boy.. Shawn and I couldn't really sleep the whole night. Luckily Morning at 9am, his fever drop to 37.6 but can feel he's starting to heat up again. Dr Teoh told us to bring him in immediately if his fever went up again or if he start to vomit.. Now at 3pm, he seems fine. **cross my fingers**

Another Tumble !!

Oh No !! Lil Nigel had another Accident today. He tumble off the sofa while trying to grab something. Shawn manage to catch most of Nigel so Nigel didn't hit his Lil Head but his butt landed on the floor.. Poor Nigel cried a little bit but I manage to coax him after a short while.. Poor Boy..

Accident !!

I juz Drop Nigel on the Floor and he hit his Lil Head !! SobS !!

I was bathing Nigel and was about to walk to switch off the fan when I slip and fall with Nigel and all. I held on really tight to him. But when I landed on the floor on my butt I drop him on the floor. He landed with on the back of his head. Luckily it was only about 6cm distance I think. The brave boy wasn't crying. Just a bit shocked. It was when Shawn woke up and make a big fuss, I think it sort of scared him and he started to cry.. He stopped after some coaxing. I hope he's ok !!

Nigel is better !!..... I hate my JOB !!

Good news and Bad news....
Good news is, Nigel is getting better. His poo reduce to 3 times a day since yesterday. His appetite has increase a lot !! At least 6oz per time now ! And he can get hungry juz after 2 hours !! I tink he's making up for all the lost weight. Really miss him now. He's spending the night at my mum's cos I have to attend a training tomorrow. Shawn too.. So we need to get our sleep. Notti Boy has been waking up at 4am for 2 days and refusing to go back to sleep. He didn't really cry for attention thought. He actually entertain himself by playing with his beanie pillows and talking to himself. But still it's pretty tiring.

Bad news .. Iphone craziness is coming back. Sighs.. I think I will knock off late for the next few days. I think it's really important to love or enjoy your work otherwise it will really be a chore. Now I hate going to work. I want to change my job but everyone seems to be against it cos of the PAY. So I had to grind my teeth and contiune working in this stuipd irritating line. I'm totally not cut out for sales lor. I wonder how I endure working in this line for so long !! I was fine with my job till the Childcare leave incident. Make me really hate my work and my boss. In a way, i do understand her point of view but is customers more important or my baby? She doesn't understand diarrhoea is not something we joke about for babies. Babies can die from diarrhoea ! I think it's onli something Fellow Mummies can understand only. And cos due to this, my milk supply drop further again. I can barely express out 80ml in a day ! This make me hate my job even more !! And it will only get worst ...... I really need a change and no one is supporting me. I really feel all alone...

Nigel is Sick !!.. Childcare Leave Issues

Lil Nigel has been having diarrhoea since Sat. I didn't think it was so serious till Sun Night when he was still pooing about 5 times. From Midnight to 7am, he pooed 3 times. So I had to take Childcare leave with Shawn to bring Nigel down to Dr Teoh on Monday. My Shop Manager request that I take only half-day. So had to rush to Dr Teoh. Luckily Nigel is still pretty alert though he's a bit less responsive. Dr T. advice us to monitor him carefully, stop all FM, only BM. But due to work stress and lack of sleep, my milk supply drop drastically.. Only 180ml a day at most. So Dr Teoh advice to feed Nigel Porridge water with wee bit of Honey instead. Cost: $95
Tuesday, Nigel had Fever. I was on Morning shift so I request to forfiet my break time and to go home 1hour Eariler at 330pm. My ROM luckily agreed. But my manager mention that it's not a common practice lor. Of cos I know la !! I was too distracted to work. But luckily in the evening Nigel's fever came down. But he pooed total 8 times !!
Wednesday, called the clinic again at 330 cos Nigel pooed 5 times since. Had to rush down again with Pam. Brought his poo for analysis. Another set of medicine to take. I had to take down notes of his poo time and his feeding time. Also have to let his stomach rest 3 to 4 hrs between each feed. Cost: $75 plus lab test: $82 ..
Today, Nigel seems to be better. But he was very cranky. I think his tummy is in pain. So poor Thing. Dr T. called a few times to check. When I was about to leave for work, Nigel pooed greenish stuff out. Shawn decided to call Dr T. to check. He ask us to come down immediately as he suspect panceas infection as the greenish stuff is acutally Bile. Plus his stool samples from yesterday even though was yellowish, had bile traces too. If serious, might have to be admitted. Me and Shawn panic lor. Almost wanted to cry. Nigel really had tummy pains. Dr T. gave him some stuff to stop the pain. Nigel felt better soon after and stop crying. His stool report wasn't good. Had to monitor his condition still. Sighs.. Cost: $99
Anway had to take CCL today also. So called my ROM to request for CCL again. He was ok with it. My Manager wasn't happy about it though. She sent me this sms "U only entitled for 5 CCL... And if can, pls discuss with ur husband... I think this is both responsibilities.. Furthermore u have maid right.. I hope you understand that I'm short of staff. Appreciate!" I was pretty angry when I read the sms. I told her my baby might have to be hospitalised. I had to be there !! How can she expect me to leave my baby with my maid !! It's madness !! I have a maid, but she's there to help with the housework. She doesn't look after Nigel lor. Plus Nigel been having diarrhoea since Sat ! Diarrhoea is a very serious problem for Babies. Nigel has lost a lot of weight lor. You can see his ribs liaoz. As a mum, how I just leave my very sick baby with my maid and my hubby. Shawn can't handle Nigel alone. Plus my mum have to babysit my neighbour's kids. I was so pekchek. After receiving that sms, I have made up my mind to look for another job immediately. Already email my resume out liaoz. No point staying on liaoz. Anyway to shut her up, I'm going to work later at 6.00pm. Even though I had to monitor Nigel's condition. Pam has kindly volunteer to do so. Also, I will keep all the sms my manager sent, in case of any issues. Now she wants everyone to get time sheet from Doctor for urgent CCL leave. I have read the HR manual, it's not needed. Anyway, I got from my Dr. T. She really behave like I like to sent Nigel to the Doctor lor !! Which mum wan her son to be sick !!

Nigel's First Injury !!

On that fateful Day, 18.07.09. Poor Nigel has his very first Injury... SobSssSss.. He got a small chunk of flesh cut out by nail clippers on his tiny little finger (the one next to the thumb) on his Right hand. Courtesy of Auntie Pam !! He was bleeding non-stop despite me pressing on his fingers with a hanky to stop the bleeding. His Uncle Terence tried also, he press so hard that he was crying.

The Brave Little Boy was actually more calm than all of us. He didn't cry when he got injured, juz screamed aloud ! No tears.. He was calmly looking at me pressing his little finger. I think he was quite amused at our reactions. His Uncle Nicholas google online to find solutions.. Auntie Nicole went down to the Mall to see if she can get anything to apply. Moi and his Auntie Pam was panicking. Actually more like Auntie Pam was panicking. I was more calm. She wanted to bring him to the Doctor maybe even ER !! Luckily the bleeding stopped after 10mins. Anyway, frm the Googling, we now know that there are many capillaries at the tip of the fingers so there will be lots of bleeding, the thing to do is to press on the injury to stop the bleeding. But if more than 10 mins, see a doctor !!!

P.S The very next day, I cut the nails of his little thumb (the one next to the little injured finger) too deep and he bleed !! OooOopPpsSss
