We were out for a dinner yesterday. Half way through the dinner, Cassie asked me to feed her. She wanted me to cool down her food by blowing into her bowl. Just caught the flu, i told her i cannot do that because i'm sick.
Then, she turned to her dad and she asked : "dad, are you sick ?"
her dad answer : 'nope'
Cassie then said : "dad, can you cool down my food and blow into my bowl ?"
of course, her dad obliged...
hahaha ..
Cassie woke up and started drawing this morning. I left her doing it on her own while i fuss over my morning routine (brushing teeth & etc).
We were at town visiting a friend and he recommend us lunch in Harvest-In cafe at the irrawady road. I didn't bring my camera along and the photos are taken through my cell phone.
Food are reasonably priced and thus kind of expect the smaller portion. Liked the decoration, i think it's kind of chic. we ordered the chicken mushroom soup, the chicken tikka masala and spagetti with minced chicken (for my weak stomach).
OK, i'm not a big fan on superstitions but when it comes to Cassie, it seems like there are some superstition pattern occuring to her. There are many different superstitions but for Cassie, it's usually about her weight or height in general. She's now 3 years and 3 months old and this is already her third time admitted to hospital. It's almost a yearly event now ... :(
We went out and have lunch with our friends on Monday, then i commented said that no matter how much Cassie eat during meal time, she cannot seems to gain weight anywhere on her body but her tummy only.
On Wed 4am, Cassie woke up and started vomit :( . Note that i said started because then she continue to vomit almost every 2.5 hrs later. 4am, 6.30 am, 9 am and go one ... It was just aweful, i sent her to the clinic as soon as it's open (about 9.30 am) and the doctor presribed some medication to control her condition. I asked the doctor said how will she consume the medication orally especially since she's vomiting, the doctor assured me not to worry and said the medication is to control that and she should be better soon.
OK, i gave her the medication and she was so tired that she went to sleep soon after. After about 1 hour, she woke up and vomit again. This time, it's about 8 hrs since she consumed any fluid and we decided to send her to the hospital. In the hospital, doctor diagnosed her having stomach flu due to virous and gave her some injection. Also the doctor asked me to feed her 'salty' food especially crackers.
Cracker because the food is salty and it will hold on fluid so that she won't get dehydration. when she vomit, her stomach is empty and there will be a lot of 'wind'. She still need to drink water and eating crackers will help to retain the water. But no glucose or any sugary food, this is mainly because the sugar will caused her to 'gag' more. So, first tips for any vomit condition, crackers and water.
Well, i tried what was suggested after the injection but her condition didn't improve. So, we have to admitted her to the hospital. I must say she's really brave in all this, didn't really shed tears when injection, she just 'awwwoe' a bit ... She got better during the nite but need to be monitored for another day before she can be discharged. The hospital pediactric ward comes with a playground and when she got better on the 2nd day, she started to made friends. Even when she got the OK to go home from the doctor, she told me she still not feeling well and wanted to stay. haha, things the kids do !!
She's feeling much better now, still on the no sugar no lactose produced diet, but is now home resting. Thank you all for the help, well wishes and phone calls !!
We spent a good 3 hours there and Cassie enjoyed the water playground the most. She was afraid of the water jets and fountain at first, but once she was into the game, she just cannot stop.
It's amazing how a bottle of bubbles can make a child's day completely magical.
We're emphasizing the words 'please', 'thank you' and 'excuse me' to Cassie. Last night when she asked for her milk, i said that she needed to use the 'magic words'. And i was waiting for her to say "please mom".
She asked: "the magic word ?"
and i said : "yes, what are the magic words ?"

Can you believe that i haven't meet my cousin for about 15 years ! Luckily my cousin's family came for a quick new year visit and we get to catch up. The most happy person ? Cassie of course, she is 'glued' to her cousin sister at all time. :)
